Chapter 421 An Unexpected Parting (Second Update!)
The Knicks, who won the trophy in Dallas, flew back to New York overnight. On the plane, O'Neill snored while holding the trophy, as if no one wanted to touch my trophy.
Although Lin Yi was very tired, he couldn't fall asleep.
He sorted out his thoughts in his mind. It has to be said that the 10/11 season was a fruitful season for Lin Yi, but it is foreseeable that as the trajectory of history changes, how to build the Knicks dynasty is indeed a problem.
O'Neal must be retiring, otherwise this fat man wouldn't be as excited as a child after winning this championship.
Marbury and the Dodgers have decided that regardless of whether the league is suspended or not, they will go to the CBA to be the overlord next season.
There are also some Knicks players whose contracts have expired, facing the issue of contract renewal, and the plan formulated by Lin Yi in the 2011 draft
Simply put, the Knicks' roster needs tweaking.
And this summer will be very painful, Lin Yi must finalize the plan before July 7st.
Because during the lockout period, NBA players will not receive salaries, and the team cannot negotiate with players, let alone sign and trade players.
At the same time, players cannot use the team's training facilities for any reason, and the team cannot hold any summer training camps, exhibitions, team meetings, and coaches' gatherings.
In addition, NBA team websites can no longer use the image of players, and players can no longer be used as representatives of publicity.
"Let's take it one step at a time!"
After Lin Yi took a deep breath, he thought to himself.
……
"Hey, Lin, you haven't fallen asleep yet?" Gallinari said after running to Lin Yi's seat on the plane.
Lin Yi nodded, "Aren't you going to take a break? Danilo, I thought you'd go to a nightclub to have a good time as soon as you got off the plane."
Gallinari: "."
The "Second Battalion Commander" was so stuffy, he really wanted to raise a sledgehammer and hit Lin Yi's waist.
But just when Lin Yi was about to take out his notebook to smooth out his thoughts, he found that Gallinari was a little different from usual.
Gallinari looked at Lin Yi seriously: "Lin, I want to apply for a trade and leave the team."
Lin Yi was a little surprised, "What's the matter, Danilo?"
"Lin, I'm not dissatisfied with the Knicks. Seriously, I like every teammate here, and I like the atmosphere of playing in the Knicks, but I don't want to hide it from you. I have communicated with my agent. We all think that the Knicks will not give me a maximum salary." Gallinari said.
According to the existing NBA rules, after Gallinari's rookie contract expires, he can sign a contract with the team that accounts for 25% of the team's salary space. However, Gallinari's agent analyzed with him, and the Knicks could not give him this contract.
It really doesn't matter if New York has money or not.
Because including Lin Yidu and Javier Stanford discussed Gallinari's contract renewal, Javier Stanford mentioned a very important point, that is the cost performance of Gallinari's new contract.
"Obviously, although we currently have enough salary space to renew Gallinari's contract, but Lin, if we want to ensure the flexibility of the team's salary space, Gallinari's new contract will make us lose the possibility of reinforcement." Javier Stanford said at the time.
And after winning the championship, Gallinari's own mentality changed a lot.
The "Second Battalion Commander" wanted to try to see if he could be the master.
This is more important than salary. The Knicks have a good team atmosphere and the team has won the championship again. Logically speaking, Gallinari has no need to leave the team, but it’s like the Germans never know what the Italians will do next.
Gallinari felt that he had already completed the championship, and what he needed next was to prove his strength and be selected as an All-Star.
Gallinari doesn't want to be an All-Star who enters with Lin Yi's thigh. He hopes that he can be selected as an All-Star justifiably, and this is the point.
In addition, the current public opinion is not optimistic about the labor-management negotiations in the summer of 11 in the NBA. Many player agents whose contracts have expired hope that their players can get a guarantee when the future situation is uncertain.
Gallinari averaged 10+11 per game in the 16/6 season, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 41.5%. There are not a few teams in the market that are willing to give him a maximum salary contract.
In addition, Gallinari's appearance is a plus. You must know that in the Knicks, his jersey sales are the second best because he is handsome.
Lin Yi remembered that in the original historical trajectory, under the premise of Gallinari’s glass attributes, the Nuggets gave Gallinari a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions. Now that there are rings and the addition of the second head of the championship team, Lin Yi won’t be surprised that Gallinari got the maximum salary.
Moreover, Gallinari changed his style of play and reduced the number of strong kills inside. Maybe his career would be better than Lin Yi remembered.
Lin Yi will not stop Gallinari, because he knows that he can force Gallinari to get a big contract by forcibly interfering with the management, but Lin Yi is more aware of the consequences of turning the Knicks into his "friends team".
Don't you see how the Argentine Friends team hit the street?
It's useless to be born strong, competitive sports are cruel, and what's more, this is Gallinari's own request?
"No problem, I respect your thoughts, but Danilo, I suggest you not to worry, I remember you can renew your contract with the team in advance, right? I suggest you sign first and then change, don't accept empty checks from other teams." Lin Yi said.
"But does that make salary matching difficult for the Knicks?" Gallinari said.
Lin Yi patted Gallinari's head, and the "Second Battalion Commander" really loved the Knicks, "Then you don't have to worry, don't forget, after Shaq retires, there will be no problem with our salary space."
Salary match?
nonexistent.
To be honest, Lin Yi actually thought about staying with Gallinari for another year, but after the contract of the "Second Battalion Commander" expires, it is inevitable for him to break up with the Knicks in the future, with his good looks not inferior to Parsons and his current strength stronger than the original history.
The reason why the Knicks will not give Gallinari a maximum salary is not because Gallinari is not worthy of this maximum salary, but for the Knicks who want to build a dynasty, the cost performance of Gallinari's new contract will be very low.
In addition, the various versions of the "Lin Yi Treaty" that are now circulating in the market make the Knicks have to pay attention to
All the signings and reinforcements of the Knicks must be completed before Lin Yi's rookie contract expires. Otherwise, after completing the contract extension with Lin Yi, the Knicks will have to pay the luxury tax continuously.
Dolan is not short of money, but the NBA is not something you can play with money, at least before the salary space soars, the Knicks can't play like this.
Finally, considering the renewal of the contract with the boxing champion and Lin Yi's future plan to break up peacefully with the "Second Battalion Commander", it is a win-win situation for both parties.
Because it means that the Knicks can make full use of Gallinari's value in exchange for the same chips.
"To be honest, Danilo, I still miss you." Lin Yi said this from the heart.
"Huh? I'm sorry, Lin, I actually found a lot of girlfriends secretly."
Before Gallinari finished the second half of his sentence, Lin Yi kicked him to the other side, rolling, Gallinari was born to destroy the atmosphere.
The obviously touching scene was abruptly lost by Gallinari.
Gallinari smiled and returned to his seat, but at this moment, his eyes looking out the window were a little melancholy.
"Goodbye, New York!"
On the other hand, after Lin Yi planned to return to New York, it was time to treat that guy to a meal.
……
