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

For the Knicks, nothing is more important than renewing Lin Yi in advance. According to the "Lin Yi and Ross Terms", Lin Yi will be able to get a maximum salary contract that accounts for 35% of the team's salary cap during this early renewal.

How exaggerated is this contract?

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

Lin Yi's contract extension with the Knicks on Twitter attracted countless people's attention as soon as possible, and most of them came to watch. After all, after the NBA was suspended in the 1998/99 season, Lin Yi was still the first player to get a contract of over 100 million as soon as the NBA rookie contract ended.

The other four of the five young men in the 2009 were severely stimulated. Curry will renew his contract with the Warriors in advance this summer. The Warriors will give him a maximum salary that accounts for 25% of the team's salary. Although Curry feels that he has made a lot of money, the contract with Lin Yi is still incomparable.

Griffin, however, was selected as All-Star for two consecutive years and completed the "Ross" of "Lin Yi and Ross Terms". As Lin Yi remembers, he will sign the Clippers' five-year $95 million, accounting for 30% of the team's salary space, and a long-term contract that took effect in the summer of 2013.

DeRozan also completed an early contract renewal with the Raptors. Of course, I envy Lin Yi and envy Lin Yi. Many rookies and second-year players said on Twitter that I really can't do the "Lin Yi file" of the terms of "Lin Yi and Ross"!

Because he was elected MVP in the first four years of his rookie contract, and was selected as the best first team of the year twice, and was selected as the All-Star lineup twice, even if these rookies have various dreams, they dare not go to Waiwai!

Lin Yi is so perverted!

So without Lin Yi knowing it, he silently sank many people's hearts.

Future NBA rookies will hate Lin Yi so much that they will feel itchy when they hear "Lin Yi's privilege"!

This feeling of drawing cakes for you, but you can't eat them, is really uncomfortable!

Lin Yi’s new contract with the Knicks will also take effect in the summer of 2013, with a total value of US$118 million, with a total term of 5 years, of which the last year is the player option. At the same time, after the renewal is completed, the Knicks announced that Lin Yi’s new contract will have the right to trade veto.

At the beginning, the Knicks general manager Donny Wash strongly opposed Lin Yi's veto power, but soon the Knicks boss James Dolan cursed at him. In Dolan's words, it was: What bicycle do you want? Lin Yi gives whatever you want. If possible, I would like to give him a contract of more than 5,000 a year to sign a lifelong contract with the Knicks!

You should know that although the Knicks failed to win the championship in the November 12 season, the Knicks' market value has exceeded the $5 billion mark. For Dolan, Lin Yi's money tree is equivalent to the Knicks' future. Although Dolan also made money when the Knicks were in a bad state in the past, who would think that he made less money?

Moreover, as long as the Knicks can keep Lin Yi, they will be strong contenders for the championship every season.

How could Dolan be reluctant to give up a small veto of a deal if he could win both fame and fortune?

There is no harm without comparison. Originally, Shafen wanted to show off her big contract, but after seeing the results of the Knicks' renewal with Lin Yi, Griffin silently quit the group chat, and then went to an NBA sports goods store to buy 20 Knicks Lin Yi's uniforms and burn them all!

The reason why Lin Yi chose the last year as the player option in this contract renewal is because he knows that the NBA's salary space will increase sharply in the future. If Lin Yi jumps out of the contract and the Knicks renews the contract with him, Lin Yi will make more money.

In addition, the Knicks also completed a four-year, 12 million contract renewal with Livingston. Although "Karren Mok" missed many games due to injury this season, 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 good luck. After he passed one or two years, his stubbornness attributes would gradually fill up.

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

"Lin, the Los Angeles Clippers invite me with a contract of 10 million a year. I want to leave New York." Billups' career trajectory has also changed. He would have joined the Clippers with a basic salary after a serious injury, but now because the Clippers' continued *** Lupps has changed from being in reverse to being able to make a big profit when he retires.

Paul did not go to the Clippers, and the Clippers had plenty of salary space. In addition, Bledsoe needed a mentor to train, so it seemed to be completely OK to the Clippers. After all, although Clippers boss Sterling did not want to pay luxury tax, he did not want to be fined for his salary not meeting the standard.

For this matter, Sterling deliberately mocked Dolan.

Billups knew that it was difficult for him to return to the peak after his injury this time. The "big heart" didn't want to cheat the Knicks, so he decided to go to the Clippers to retire.

In the past two years with the Knicks, Billups won the championship with the team and his career was completely successful. Billups also had many friends in Los Angeles. This time he went to Los Angeles, in Billups' own words, he finally made money from milk powder and ran away.

Lin Yi sent his blessings to Bilups because this was Bilups' own choice, and Lin Yi could only choose to respect him.

"Changxi, I hope you can have a wonderful season with the Clippers." Lin Yi said to Billups as he said goodbye.

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

Before starting to disrupt the free agent market, the Knicks also encountered trouble for their own contract renewal because the Knicks encountered vicious competition

The Sacramento Kings offer a three-year, $24 million contract against Knicks restricted free agent Hassan Whiteside.

As the saying goes, there are policies above and countermeasures below. In order to fight against the NBA's "Alinas" clause, poison contracts will be common in the summer of 2012.

The offer Dabaibian received this time was a poison contract. Dabaibian's salary was $5 million in the first and second years, and the third year was $14 million!

The most famous case of such a contract is Jeremy Lin in Lin Yi's memory. The contract of Dabaibian Knicks cannot be matched. The key is that the $14 million salary in the third year of this contract was not enough after renewing Lin Yi in advance.

Moreover, Dabai Bian himself was also moved. After all, there is no player who doesn’t want to make more money. Lin Yi felt that the Kings team was poisonous. If he decided that the Knicks’ rookie must be good?

Sorry, the Kings really think so, because Tristan Thompson played well with the Kings in the 11/12 season and averaged 8 points and 8 rebounds per game.

Originally, Lin Yi thought that the Knicks could get a bargain from Dabai, but he didn't expect that the King would directly defeat the Knicks' army in this wave of poison contract.

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

It's normal for Whiteside to be moved. He also has a championship ring. In the Knicks, he can only continue to be the substitute for the boxing champion, and the Kings have promised that he will give him more playing time.

The Knicks have a headache because where can I find a reliable center at this time?

Although summer is very long, the most important thing about the arms race between NBA teams is that at the beginning, after the good fish were fished away, the rest were the smelly fish and rotten shrimps.

Lin Yi discovered that while he was tearing off other teams, other NBA teams were also thinking about how to tear off the Knicks.

Just as Lin Yi and Javier Stanford were worried about the Knicks' substitute center, the deals that changed the situation came one after another!
