After returning to New York from Charlotte on November 1, Lin Yi and Javier Stanford met at the "Silvestri" Italian restaurant in New York.
The Knicks will have a back-to-back game with the Philadelphia 76ers tonight, so Lin Yi set the meeting time at noon. In the afternoon, he will go to the training hall to do some restorative training.
Today's main dishes at Silvestri restaurant are "Lisuoduo" and "Salami". "Lisuoduo" is actually Italian rice, fried with diced onion, butter and rice, and fried with wine to taste dry It tastes soft and tender.
萨拉 "Salami" is the Italian sausage, shaped like a thick and round rolling pin, with a layer of powdery white mildew on the outside.
These two dishes are recommended by D'Antoni. Lin Yi is a foodie and would like to try them.
"Lin, are you sure you want to trade like this? Chris Duhon is our starting guard, and Bellinelli is just a backup point guard for the Raptors."
Javier Stanford, after all, has been a scout and reporter, and has a better understanding of basketball than general manager Donny Wash, but even so, he still feels that Lin Yi's advice is a bit unscientific.
For example, Lin Yi suggested to exchange their backup shooting guard Bellinelli from the Raptors. New York's most suitable chip is only starting guard Chris Duhon.
Lin Yi's mouth slightly raised, after all, Javier Stanford did not pass through, and he would definitely have such an objection.
首先 "First of all, is there a difference between our starting guards Chris Duhon or Tony Douglas?" Lin Yi asked looking at Javier Stanford.
维尔 Javier Stanford shook his head, it seems that there is really no difference. After the two regular season games, Chris Duhon is a soy sauce.
其 "Second, I am afraid that the Raptors will not change this deal. Belinelli is a very good pitcher and can be qualified for the second and third positions."
最后 "In the end, we want to go further in the new season, we need outside shooters instead of stumps that will only dribble halfway." Lin Yi analyzed Javier Stanford, Bellinelli is definitely a potential stock.
Gao Linyi knows that Bellinelli is currently not to be seen in the Raptors, because the Raptors want to train their newcomer Demar de Rozan.
In this way, Belinelli's position in the Raptors is very embarrassing. It seems that he moves in general, can only shoot from the outside, and can only contribute 0.9 three-pointers per game.
But Lin Yi knows that this is entirely because the Raptors will not use Bellinelli. In Lin Yi's memory, Chris Duhon was mixed for a day after leaving D'Antoni's system. It didn't take long for him to leave the NBA. Disappeared.
To put it bluntly, future point guards will need active offensive capabilities. Chris Duhon, a guard in the NBA, does not need it at all. The three-pointer is not allowed, the space cannot be opened, and the pick-and-roll ability is average. What else can he contribute to the team?
But Bellinelli is different. After Lin Yi remembered joining the Philadelphia 76ers in the 17/18 season, Bellinelli was like a fish. After the injury of Embiid, the 76ers led Simmons to play with a bunch of shooters and 3D. The result Instead, the accident was good.
People refer to the Philadelphia 76ers as the Royal Salute Regiment, which means that the Philadelphia 76ers' three-pointers always pop like a salute.
D'Antoni is a coach who knows how to use pitchers. If you give him a few more pitchers, he can return you a sky. Lin Yi doesn't even need to give D'Antoni any advice. D'Antoni can put these people on his own. Arranged.
In the 13/14 season, Belinelli once played a very high-light moment in the Spurs. He was accurate in three-pointers and also able to make mid-range shots. He played like Clay Thompson, but he moved slowly and his defense was a loophole.
But Bellinelli's physical fitness is much better than that of Carbono and Novak. Wilson Chandler can't make a three-pointer. D'Antoni is ready to let him go to the guest four to play the fast-break lineup.
Since knowing D'Antoni's thoughts, Lin Yi must cooperate with D'Antoni's team-building ideas.
And if it wasn't for Lin Yi to know that the Raptors lacked guards during this period, I am afraid that the Raptors may not really trade with you. Lin Yi is completely using his own advantages to help the Knicks. This is a blatant opening!
Javier Stanford nodded, "Donny should agree to this deal, and this deal is not difficult to operate. But Lin, your second suggestion, will the Philadelphia 76ers really give out Louis Williams? Our most Good chips are probably Larry Hughes. "
Lin Yi took a bite of "Lisuoduo" and looked at Javier Stanford and said, "This transaction is not urgent. You can slowly talk to the Philadelphia 76ers. I believe your sincerity will definitely move them!"
Javier Stanford shook his head with a bitter smile. Lin Yi was a difficult problem for him and general manager Donny Wash. What do you think of Louis Williams as a potential newcomer, but Larry Hughes is just an expired contract? Ah, the Philadelphia 76ers had a brain drain to make this deal with the Knicks.
Lin Yi can't reveal too much to Javier Stanford. This transaction is different from Bellinelli's. Only Lin Yi knows this transaction, and the Philadelphia 76ers will have a brain pump!
The reason is simple, the Philadelphia 76ers want to mess up, and Louis Williams can't meet their requirements.
After getting used to having a superstar like Iverson, the Philadelphia 76ers have been eager to get another superstar to pull the ball, but because of Philadelphia's lack of attraction, the only way to get a superstar is to keep it The current 76ers are okay, and they will continue to display new heights in the future.
Not to mention Louis Williams, even singles expert Holliday and future FMVP Iguodala can send them with their eyes closed.
I know exactly this level of relationship. Lin Yi believes that as long as the Knicks pay a draft option and Larry Hughes's expiring contract, the 76ers will definitely make this deal with the Knicks.
Because Lin Yi remembered that after Allen Iverson was cut by the Grizzlies, he would return to Philadelphia to play for a while. Later, because Iverson played too hard, the 76ers uniform team could n’t stand it anymore. , So he decisively dismissed Iverson.
As for taking care of his daughter, Lin Yi did not believe that Iverson would choose to give up his basketball career in order to take care of his daughter in the case of being smashed by Kobe and desperately trying to prove himself.
The Philadelphia 76ers 'heart is very determined, even comparable to LeBron James' determination to win.
The Philadelphia 76ers themselves understand that Louis Williams can hardly become an All-Star even if he plays well. The potential of Holloday selected this year is good. They are more willing to give Holloday a period of growth.
In Lin Yi's memory, the next Philadelphia 76ers kept rotten and scratched the lottery in the process of constantly searching for "new Iverson". They didn't start to seriously consider building until they scrapped Embiid and Simmons. Team things.
Javier Stanford and Donny Wash must not know that the 76ers' heart is so resolute. UU reads so most people will definitely think that the Louis Williams who just showed a little sign is the Philadelphia 76ers. Only Lin Yi knew of the non-sale products. For the 76ers, what they most wanted was the draft and expiring contract.
Lin Yi hopes that the management will come to Louis Williams for a simple reason. This product is the main force and the defense is a loophole, but he is a substitute. He is fast and can pick and roll with Lin Yi. The three-pointer is half a Curry. Nick What is most lacking now is this player who can make up for the lack of firepower.
As for the third object of Lin Yi's request that management should come to the transaction, Javier Stanford will not be unfamiliar, Danny Green, the future person sent the nickname Zhang Tielin.
Javier Stanford thinks that maybe Green and Lin Yi have a good relationship, Lin Yi will consider taking care of the former North Carolina four younger, because now Danny Green can't even play the Cavaliers, as long as he has the right chips, the Cavaliers will definitely trade. .
Only Lin Yi knows that Danny Green is the teammate he most hopes to get.
This pure aspheric 3D is urgently needed in this New York.
In addition, in recent times, Javier Stanford and Donny Wash have been actively dealing with Eddie Curry's bad contract, and Lin Yi also provided them with a transaction object.
Tatar sent Timberwolf nicknamed Husky.
Lin Yi was very clear that he remembered that the Timberwolves had eaten the bad contract.
Because the Timberwolves also decided to start long-term rotten.
Lin Yi gave his own suggestions to the management. He couldn't give too much spoilers to the management, but he believes that these transactions can be made, but it is only a matter of time, because he knows the ideas of the future NBA teams too. What a blatant opening!
