After Lin Yi and Paul watched the 12-year draft together, the Knicks' first operation in the summer also followed.

For the Knicks, there is nothing more important than renewing the contract with Lin Yi in advance, according to the "Lin Yi and Rose Terms", Lin Yi will be able to get a maximum salary contract accounting for 35% of the team's salary cap in this early extension.

How exaggerated is this contract?

You must know that if it is when the salary cap rises sharply in the future, Lin Yi's contract is equivalent to Curry's 200 million contract.

After all, after the suspension of the NBA in the 98/99 season, Lin Yi was the first player to get a contract of more than 100 million yuan as soon as his NBA rookie contract ended.

The remaining four of the 09 class of five small players were seriously stimulated, Curry will also renew his contract with the Warriors in advance this summer, and the Warriors will give him a maximum salary of 25% of the team's salary, although Curry feels that he has made a lot of money, but the contract with Lin Yi is still incomparable.

Griffin, on the other hand, was selected as an All-Star for two consecutive years and completed the "Rose file" of "Lin Yi and Rose Clause", and he will sign the five-year, $95 million, 30% of the team's salary space, and a long-term contract that will take effect in the summer of 2013 as Lin Yi remembers.

DeRozan also completed an early contract extension with the Raptors, of course, envy Lin Yigui and envy Lin Yi, many rookies and second-year players have said on Twitter that the "Lin Yi file" of the terms of "Lin Yi and Rose", the concubine really can't do it!

Because he was named MVP four years before his rookie contract, and was named to the First Team of the Year twice, as well as being named to the All-Star Game starting team twice...... Under these conditions, even if these rookies have all kinds of dreams, they don't dare to be crooked!

Lin Yi is so perverted!

So without Lin Yi's knowledge, he silently pierced many people's hearts.

As long as the rookies in the future NBA hear "Lin Yi's privilege", they will hate Lin Yi so much!

This kind of feeling that you can't eat the cake is really uncomfortable!

Lin's new contract with the Knicks will also take effect in the summer of 2013 and will be worth $118 million for a total of five years, with a player option for the final year, and after the extension is completed, the Knicks announced that Lin's new contract will have a trade veto.

Originally, Knicks general manager Donny Walsh was strongly opposed to giving Lin Yi a veto on the trade, but soon Knicks owner James Dolan scolded him all the time, in Dolan's words: What kind of bike do you want? Lin Yi wants to give what he wants, if he can, I can't wait to give him a contract of 5000+ per year, so that he can sign a lifelong long-term contract with the Knicks!

You know, although the Knicks failed to win the championship in the 11/12 season, the Knicks' market value has broken through the $5 billion mark, for Dolan, Lin Yi's cash cow is equal to the future of the Knicks.

And as long as the Knicks can keep Lin Yi, they will be a strong contender for the championship every season.

Being able to gain fame and fortune, such a good thing, how could Dolan be reluctant to veto a small transaction?

There is no harm if there is no comparison, originally Silly Fen still wanted to show off his big contract, but after seeing the results of the Knicks' contract renewal with Lin Yi, Griffin silently withdrew from the group chat, and then went to an NBA sporting goods store to buy 20 Knicks Lin Yi's jerseys...... Burn it, burn it all!

The reason why Lin Yi chose the last year as the player option in this contract extension is because he knows that the salary space in the NBA will rise sharply in the future, and if Lin Yi jumps out of the contract and the Knicks renew his contract, Lin Yi will earn more.

In addition, the Knicks also completed a 4-year 12 million contract extension with Livingston, although "Karen Mok" missed a lot of games due to injury this season, but the Knicks are still optimistic that he can contribute to the team after returning from injury.

Lin Yi knew very well that Livingston was not in a good fate, and when he passed the past year or two, his endurance attribute would slowly be full.

And after Billups' contract expired, "Big Heart" also specially invited Lin Yi to have a meal, not to renew the contract, but to say goodbye.

"Lin, the Los Angeles Clippers offered me a 10 million one-year contract, and I wanted to leave New York." Billups's career trajectory has also changed, originally he would join the Clippers with a base salary after a major injury, but now because the Clippers are as always, Lopus has changed from being upside down to making a lot of money when he retires.

Paul didn't go to the Clippers, the Clippers have plenty of salary space, and Bledsoe needs a mentor to tweak, so digging Billups is completely OK in the Clippers' opinion, after all, although Clippers owner Sterling doesn't want to pay the luxury tax, he also doesn't want to be fined for not meeting the salary standard.

For this reason, Sterling also deliberately mocked Doran.

Billups knew that it would be difficult for him to return to the top after this injury, and the "big heart" didn't want to pit the Knicks, so he decided to go to the Clippers for retirement.

In the two years in the Knicks, Billups won a championship with the team, and his career was completely complete, and Billups also had many friends in Los Angeles.

Lin Yi sent his blessing to Billups, because this was Billups' own choice, and Lin Yi could only choose to respect.

"Chauncey, I hope you have a fantastic season with the Clippers." As he said goodbye, Lin Yi said to Billups.

In this way, Billups came to the Knicks in a low-key manner, and finally left the Knicks in a low-key manner, but fans in New York will not forget him, because the championship flag in the 10/11 season has an indispensable part of Billups.

……

Before they started to mess with the free agent market, the Knicks themselves were in trouble with a contract extension because the Knicks were in a tough competition......

The Sacramento Kings have offered the Knicks' restricted free agent Hassan Whiteside a three-year, $24 million contract.

In order to counter the NBA's "Arenas" clause, poison contracts will be common in the summer of '12.

The offer received by Da Bai Bian this time was a poison contract, and the salary of Da Bai Bian was $5 million in the first and second years, and $14 million in the third year!

The most famous case of such a contract is Lin Yi's memory, the Knicks can't match the contract of Da Baibian, the key is the $14 million salary in the third year of this contract, after renewing the contract with Lin Yi in advance, the Knicks' salary space is not enough.

And Da Baibian himself is also moved, after all, there is no player who doesn't want to make more money, Lin Yi feels that the Kings team is toxic, and it must be good to identify the Knicks' rookie?

I'm sorry, but the Kings really think so, because Tristan Thompson played well with the Kings...... In the 11/12 season, he averaged 8 points and 8 rebounds per game.

Originally, Lin Yi still felt that the Knicks would be able to get a bargain on Da Baibian, but he didn't expect that the king's poison contract would directly counter the Knicks.

Because there is no problem that the team's salary will not be enough in the third year, the King's current salary is empty......

It's normal for Whiteside to be excited, he has a championship ring, and he can only continue to be a substitute for the king of boxing with the Knicks, and the Kings have promised to give him more playing time.

The Knicks have a headache...... Because at this time, where to find a reliable center?

Don't look at the summer is very long, in fact, the most critical part of the arms race of NBA teams is at the beginning, because after the good fish are caught, all that remains is stinky fish and rotten shrimp......

Lin Yi found that while he was dismantling other teams, other teams in the NBA were also thinking about how to dismantle the Knicks.

And just when Lin Yi and Javier Stanford were worried about the Knicks' backup center...... With the progress of July, those game-changing transactions and signings are coming one after another!
