Chapter 61 Landing ([-])

Let's continue talking about the players when we come back, let's talk about the main ones, those who can stay, those who signed the training contract and just showed their faces will be let go.

Eddie Curry, who just spent a lot of money to sign and joined the team a few days earlier than Hulin, is known as 'Little Shark'. Niu Qi didn't go for the physical examination directly. The Bulls were not happy, and took advantage of him, and kicked him out.

Jamal Crawford, this is probably one of the Knicks' more reliable perimeters this season.

Quentin Richardson, who just won the three-pointer in the All-Star Game this year, is also a newcomer.It is indeed very accurate, but after not mixing with Nash, coupled with the back injury, the state is getting worse and worse.

Malik Rose, previously traded from the Spurs, this is a guy with the height of a small forward to play the power forward position.Unfortunately, after coming to New York, these things gradually disappeared.This is the representative of people getting lost after taking a big contract.

Trevor Ariza, this domestic fans should be very familiar with, yes, he is still on the Knicks at this time, as a rookie, his performance last year was pretty good, he should be the best young man in the Knicks right now.

'Penny' Hardaway, everyone is familiar with this, the former successor of Joe's gang leader, a super talented person shrouded in countless halos, but he is at the end of his career, covered with injuries, basically it is difficult to do much up.

Antonio Davis, a power forward, originally announced his retirement with the Bulls last season, but he didn't know why he came to the Knicks again. Could it be that he went bankrupt right after he retired?Although there are many guys in the NBA who went bankrupt within two years of retiring, the specific reason for this guy is unknown. According to him personally, he doesn't want to represent the Bulls again.

Jackie Butler, anyone know this guy?He is now a sophomore who has not been drafted, but last season he played no more than 5 minutes in total. His most famous move was to win a championship with the Spurs. If anyone can see him play, that person , is definitely a super fan of the Spurs, but this season will be his best time.

Maurice Taylor, who came in the middle of last season, should be very familiar to domestic fans. He has played with Yaoming. He has good back-up skills and a high shooting percentage. Unfortunately, he is also going downhill, and the slope is quite big. .

Well, everyone above is actually not bad, and the following one has something to say.

Jerome James, don't think that James is a good player. The reason why Hu Lin has an impression of him is because the Knicks gave him the current one this season, super, second B, invincible, Bad contract! 5 million US dollars in 3000 years!

You know, this guy is almost 30 years old, but why does he have a big contract?That is, in the playoffs of last season, he played the only and last big explosion in his career in the Sonics, averaging 17.7 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, so this guy got this big contract.Then, this guy lived up to expectations, and immediately disappeared from everyone's sight. In the last two years, he only played twice a season, and then earned 1200 million dollars!How about it?This guy is also an awesome person!

Most of the above star players are unreliable. Let's talk about the Knicks' hopes.

This year's Knicks are pretty good, and got two first-round picks.What Thomas did in this draft is still possible, and he is quite discerning. In addition, the two first-round picks this year are also because of holding back before.Before Thomas, Scott Layden, he is the culprit that let the Knicks into chaos.Not only does the lineup age, but the team's salary exceeds 03 million, and the draft picks are all given away. In 9, the platinum generation Layden used the No. 04 pick to win "British Sweet" Sweetney. The guy whose life is threatened, only had one chance in the second round in [-], and Hu Lin was finally traded with the Spurs.

Channing Frye, this is a very solid player with good skills, but lacks in strength. With a height of 11 meters, he can shoot three-pointers from the outside, and he can also go inside and hit hard, which is already rare.In terms of overall style, he is very similar to Wang Zhizhi.

David Lee, in fact, the best-developed white power forward is a very smart basketball player, definitely different from most guys in this league, he is a guy who plays with his brain, and he is also very brave, no That kind of softie once scored a super triple-double with 37 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, and a 0.1-second lore, such horrible statistics.

As an aside, David Lee once beat James White in the Mak Kee Slam Dunk Contest!Who is this James White, everyone can go to a certain place, this is a guy who can play the free throw line to take off and dunk the big windmill. He made a name for himself in Washington DC when he was 12 years old. He was nicknamed '75' Flight', but was defeated by David Lee in that final. David Lee won at that time because of his creativity, taking off his clothes and dunking.

After that, it was even more tragic. The two were selected by the University of Florida at the same time and went together. Then, the tragedy happened again, and James White lost to David Lee again. After that, the dude was lost. He had a chance He became the No. 01 pick in 06, but he refused to participate in the draft and insisted on going to college. In the end, he was selected by the Trail Blazers with the 31st overall pick in [-]. After that, he has been working part-time, and also mixed in the Rockets.

Let's put it this way, if James White participated in the draft in 01, he might be able to fulfill Kwame Brown.In the United States, there are two years of junior high school and four years of high school, but the senior year of high school is basically applying for college and social practice, so he had a year to think about college, and finally quit the University of Florida.

Fry and David Lee, these two people can be said to have chosen well, and they have already been very successful. Therefore, this Thomas may really be time-traveling. He will choose the little demon, but he will not calculate the salary.

Except for the newcomers above, many people have big contracts. "Penny" will earn more than 400 million this year. As long as he comes to the Knicks, his value will double.If everything is normal, after the end of this season, the Knicks team's salary will reach 1.3 million, which means that they will have to pay at least nearly 7 million US dollars in luxury tax. In thousands of dollars.Moreover, it was not until several years later that the Knicks could get rid of this embarrassing tax burden.

Of course, what is gratifying is that Hu Lin is still on a basic salary contract, with $32 in the first year and $45 in the second year. The good news is that this is a guaranteed contract, which is not bad. You are the No. [-] pick, but is the countdown.

Because there will still be deals during the season, the salary is getting bigger and bigger.In addition, the CIC king Houston, who retired not long ago, and the big dog Robinson who was laid off, these salaries will also be counted in this year's salary cap.Running a team is really not that easy!
Everyone can see that in the current lineup of the Knicks, Stephen Marbury and 'Penny' Hardaway have been with the Knicks for the longest time, but it is only a little more than a year. It's a recruit, and even the coach has just arrived in the Big Apple City.

You say such a team, this result can be good.The Knicks this season, if there are no accidents, will tie the worst record in history.
