The news about the Knicks winning the championship successfully dominated the headlines for several days.

After returning to New York, Lin Yi gave himself a small vacation and slept comfortably at home for a few days.

On the 21st, Lin Yi received the itinerary for the Knicks Championship Parade.

Dolan is not unrestrained this time. Lin Yi remembers that when the Knicks won the championship in 2011, Dolan's total spending was 30 million US dollars.

And this year, according to Javier, Dolan did not set a budget for them.

In the words of Nimi, you can look down on the Knicks, but you can't say that the Knicks have no money!

You know, when the Spurs won the championship last year, the total expense was less than 4 million US dollars. Many stingers sighed that people can die if they compare themselves, and they can throw away the goods if they compare themselves!

On the afternoon of the 21st, Tony Allen came to visit Lin Yi.

Teacher Tony, who doesn't like to bend around the bush, said to Lin Yi, "Lin, I'm sorry, I'm leaving New York."

Lin Yi nodded. The three-year, 10 million contract signed by Mr. Tony with the Knicks that year will expire this summer. There are currently many teams on the market that are willing to give Mr. Tony a large contract.

Although Tony Allen didn't play much time in the Knicks last season, it was purely because there were too many people playing in the Knicks.

As people dig deeper and analyze the Knicks' success factors, NBA major think tanks unanimously believe that 3D players are indispensable for a team that is determined to compete for the championship.

This also led to the 3D players who had to soar in the future, who had to soar in spring ahead of schedule.

Tony Allen didn't hide it from Lin Yi. Grizzlies were willing to give him a five-year contract of 30 million. He wanted to go to Memphis to retire.

Tony Allen, 31, is no longer young, and this contract is likely to be the last of his career.

Although I was having a great time in New York, after careful consideration, Tony Allen finally decided to leave this city that had left him countless wonderful memories after his agent's advice.

In 11 years, New York fans are still talking about the final score of Mr. Tony and his final score. However, dreams are beautiful, and reality requires bread.

The Knicks cannot match such a contract, which has nothing to do with whether Dolan is willing to spend money. Instead, starting next summer, Lin Yi’s super contract with the Knicks will be officially included in the Knicks’ salary space.

Under the current salary attack system, Lin Yi and Paul's salary will occupy nearly 70% of the Knicks' salary space. If Clay renews his contract with the Knicks in the future, he will inevitably have a maximum salary.

Of course, because Clay has bird rights at that time, the Knicks can renew his contract with him without paying a salary.

Moreover, Clay's contract will be quite cost-effective in a few years, but now is now and the future is the future.

Before the salary increase, the Knicks must leave room to operate. Teacher Tony's contract is not big, but it is not small.

After the Rockets trio retired, the Knicks, who urgently needed reinforcement, could not sign such a contract with Tony Allen that would likely further lock in salary.

Lin Yi tried to keep Teacher Tony for a while, but after seeing that Tony Allen's intention to leave was decided, Lin Yi didn't say much.

The championship is no longer so tempting for Tony Allen now. NBA is like this. Friends come and go, and only the championship flag is flying in the dome.

"Tony, I hope you have a happy life in Memphis." Lin Yi patted Teacher Tony's back and said.

It would be fine if Lin Yi didn't say this. Once he said it, Tony Allen suddenly felt his nose was sour.

But, what can I do?

Professional players are just having youthful meals. Two champions, Tony Allen feels that he is no longer losing money in this wave.

"Lin, thank you! Next time we see you, we will be enemies." Tony Allen said as he left Lin Yi's house.

Yes, see you next time, it will be the enemy.

The news of Tony Allen's departure will be announced in July. Now the fans are having fun. Tony Allen does not want to destroy the current joyful atmosphere of New York fans.

Although Teacher Tony complained that his departure may not necessarily make the fans here sad.

"I don't know what kind of fans here will cry when Lin retires in the future?" Tony Allen thought to himself.

...

Lin Yi told Javier about Tony Allen's preparation to leave, and Javier was not surprised.

"Lin, we have to be prepared. Many of our players are in contract years this year, and there are so many teams that are targeting us now."

Javier has been very broad-minded and almost exploded recently. The other NBA teams now seem to have identified the Knicks, staring at the Knicks like jackals and hungry tigers.

Lin Yi sighed, there was no way, where is the rules of NBA's game?

In fact, the Knicks' lineup is already strong enough. With the reservation of core position members, the departure of role players is completely acceptable for the Knicks.

The most troublesome thing about the Knicks now is that their opponents often directly apply for poison contracts or premium contracts when poaching people. Although the Knicks are rich, locking their own salary is the stupidest for a team that is determined to establish a dynasty.

The Knicks' current core idea is to renew his contract with Clay in advance next year, using Lin, Cannon and Buddha as the framework, and then add other functional players.

"Now, there are not many people as loyal as Wilson!" Lin Yi thought to himself with emotion.

NBA players are very mobile. In addition to Tony Allen being poached by the Grizzlies, Javier also revealed to Lin Yi that Motel is likely to be poached by the Houston Rockets using a poison contract.

"Morey is simply too bullying!" Lin Yi thought indignantly.

The poison contract is the way the Knicks are most afraid of poaching people. You should know that the Rockets' salary is almost half-vacuum. After Lin Yi ended the "child labor contract", the Knicks must be careful in their future days.

Like the days when O'Neal was paid tens of millions of yuan in annual salary

Gone are all gone!

After communicating with Javier, Lin Yi believes that the Knicks’ top priority is to find a way to get the draft picks for this year’s draft.

"We must strengthen the inside line. Tyson's form has declined this year. Tyson may still be able to beat it next year, but in the year after, his deterrence at the basket will not be so great." Lin Yi's team building idea is very clear. The Knicks must win a draft pick this year.

Because in this way, the Knicks can successfully survive this period of time before the salary surge.

In the future, Lin Yi's sky-high contract will become a major advantage for the Knicks. Not to mention the Big Three, you can try the Big Four, Big Five, and Big Six.

Javier's idea coincides with Lin Yi. Therefore, the Knicks' recruitment in the new season will mainly be placed on veterans and rookies. In this way, the Knicks' salary will be very flexible in the new season.

"There are many good players in the 2013 draft!" Lin Yi looked at the list of the draft and was already drooling.

I want it so much, what should I do!
