Legend of Yi Emperor Rebirth

Because of Yi Jianlian’s outstanding performance in the playoffs, Downey’s work in the free market went smoothly. The “quagmire” that was once rejected by big guys has now changed. More players are willing to come to New York and follow Yi Jianlian. Play behind him.

Of the ten lists, Downey was the first to sign Jeremy Lin, who was waived by the Bucks. By mistake, he came to Yi Jianlian again, and more importantly, he came to New York.

He originally played "Lin Madness" in New York, under D'Antoni's hands...

Now he came to New York, a little earlier than the original time, but Yi Jianlian believes that there is no problem with him coming to New York now. After all, D'Antoni is now, and Jeremy Lin's words from D'Antoni let Jeremy Lin master the New York players. Then he played "Lin Madness".

There is no doubt that running and bombing tactics are suitable for Jeremy Lin.

To sign such a player with a basic salary of one year, Downey's first deal looks qualified to Yi Jianlian.

Then Downey completed the transaction with the Mavericks and traded Tyson Chandler from the Mavericks.

This deal originally happened. It was still when the Mavericks won the championship. Tyson Chandler's asking price was so high that the Mavericks were unwilling to match the contract of the champion, and the New York team also picked up the best guard in the league during this period. Box hand.

It is said that his arrival played a tacit pick-and-roll with Jeremy Lin, which made the latter have such a big threat.

He also had credit for the appearance of "Lin Madness".

After winning the championship, they are gone, let alone if they did not win, after all, the core players who were the core of last season were all 33 years old and older. No one would believe that they would be able to maintain this in another year. At this time, the rebuilding of the team is inevitable, and the first step in rebuilding must be for the old guys to be cleared out of the team.

Tyson Chandler has no relationship with the Mavericks, so he is naturally the first in the series.

New York traded him over because he did not win the championship. Tyson Chandler's confidence was a little bit less, and he didn't dare to cost 56 million in 4 years. What they finally signed was a contract of 40 million in 4 years. Ten million a year, after the alliance signed a new broadcast agreement, the salary cap of the entire league has risen, and the 40 million in the past 4 years can be said to be cheap enough to not be a cheap contract!

Downey's second transaction is still very reasonable.

In fact, Downey’s abilities are not bad. Even if he was the original one, he brought Stoudemire to the Knicks, brought Tyson Chandler, and Carmelo Anthony, all of which were trophies that were grabbed by the teeth of a tiger.

If it weren't for these three guys who were frequently injured by injuries, then it would be impossible for the Knicks to fail to show results in those few years.

Of course, Carmelo Anthony's character is also a big problem.

In short, if you look at the operation of introducing players, Downey has no problem, which is why he can grab Yi Jianlian last season.

The team's record didn't make this good general manager shine.

And Kupchak, whom most people know better, became famous because of the introduction of Pau Gasol, but no one knew that he was forcibly fired by the Lakers. In the last two years of his career, he could simply use mediocrity. Describe him.

This guy did a lot of damage to the Lakers in those two years.

However, the chaos of the Lakers also has a lot to do with the death of Old Buss. The death of the man at the helm makes the ghosts come out...

Downey then took another shot. In 2 years, 22 million was taken from the Pacers, a fairly good power forward in the league.

He, together with Tyson Chandler and Amare Stoudemire, formed the iron triangle that will also be the backbone of the New York team's new season.

Three people were added in an instant, and the number of players in the New York team's new season lineup reached eight.

But this is only the beginning.

The day after Downey signed three orders on December 5th, he continued to trade, and Baron Davis, who traded the Clippers to the Cavaliers, signed into the lineup.

"Bearded Generation" has now completely declined from the peak period, but his experience can definitely help the team, which is why Downey chose him.

Jeremy Lin and Dragic are not very experienced players, they need a veteran to support them.

Moreover, Baron Davis is not without the power of a battle.

Immediately afterwards, Downey officially signed Thomas, the second-round pick they selected this year, with two year-end salary.

The Knicks have not signed a contract since Thomas Jr. was selected this summer. They are not in a hurry anyway. The second round show has no human rights. As long as they don’t announce to give up, then others will never be able to sign this player. This is why the Lakers did not sign. Marc Gasol, the latter can only stay in the Europa League.

With the completion of this transaction, the New York Knicks' number one position is also considered full.

Downey also immediately dropped the gun head and started to reinforce the second and third positions.

The Knicks still don't have a pure starting second position, let alone a second position as a substitute.

So Downey’s first reinforcement was the second position.

Downey quickly locked the target-the magic team’s defensive champion Pietrus, now the latter is in the Suns, but this year’s Suns have begun to gradually overthrow and rebuild, and Pietrus is the object they most need to remove. .

Downey brought it to the New York Knicks very quickly with a two-year ten million contract.

The Knicks officially have the first player who can play the second position.

In fact, Downey still has a goal to sign. Caron Butler, who was reimbursed by the Mavericks for injuries last season, also entered the free market. Unfortunately, before he could do anything, the latter was first approved by the Clippers. The price of 24 million yuan was signed in 3 years.

Caron Butler, who is just 30 years old, judging from past data, 24 million in three years is not bad, but no one knows his state of returning from injury. This is why Downey did not participate in the **** of him. For Downey, it’s a bit too risky to give Caron Butler 24 million in three years. He can’t let the team have a **** contract. However, they have just crawled out of the quagmire. The risk is too great. Or players who are too unknown, it's better not to quote.

Of course, if Caron Butler only needs 10 million in 3 years~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he might give it a try.

Downey was going to use another 3.5 million yuan to sign a substitute shooting guard... So Shannon Brown came into his sight.

The Suns’ offer to Shannon Brown was 3.5 million. Downey thought about it and added 500,000 to bring this guy to New York for 4 million.

At this point, the New York team's lineup has improved a lot:

Center: Tyson Chandler, Stoudemire;

Power forward: David West;

Small forwards: Yi Jianlian, Xiangbot;

Shooting guards: Petrus, Shannon Brown;

Point guards: Dragic, Thomas, Jeremy Lin, Baron Davis;

The 15-man roster for the New York Knicks has only the last four vacancies left.
