Amanda Gray contacted the management of the four teams overnight and stayed at Lin Yu's home.
Lin Yu didn't sleep for almost the whole night. He was a little excited and a little worried, so he practiced ball all night, and then listened to Amanda Gray's voice next door, either softly and tactfully, or arguing loudly...
Anyway, after one night, while having breakfast, Lin Yu asked, and Amanda Gray replied: It will take half a day.
So, Lin Yu shrugged and went out for training.
The training time was still very long, and Lin Yu felt very uncomfortable. On the one hand, his mind was filled with questions about the transaction and who his next team would be. On the other hand, the teammates in the team who were about to become his exes were getting closer to him.
Being aloof, a training session without communication is really boring.
But just after the morning training, Lin Yu received a call from Amanda Grey.
"Two good news, one bad news."
Amanda Gray stopped, and Lin Yu knew that this meant he was guessing.
"The good news comes from the Pistons and Knicks, the bad news comes from the Bulls."
"Guessed it right, but there is no reward." Amanda Gray made a not-so-funny joke, and then said: "The bad news did come from the Bulls. As soon as I offered to participate in the future formation of the team, John Paxson
Tell me loudly that it is impossible, and warn me: Do your job as a player and agent."
"This guy is a stubborn old man. He is far worse than Jerry Krause. No wonder the Bulls have not improved in recent years."
Lin Yu shook his head, clearly seeing the current situation and future of the Bulls. Although the Bulls had a period of success in the future, they also relied on Derrick Rose, a local talent, to rise. And because the rose withered early, he fell into the trap again.
It has fallen into the abyss and has not improved for many years.
And all of this is naturally related to John Paxson.
"The good news is that Joe Dumars (Pistons general manager) agreed to your request without thinking, but he said it will take time because he has to renegotiate the deal with the Cavaliers. If the negotiation fails, he has nothing to do.
"
"The Knicks spent the most time on me. Isiah Thomas rejected me, but I knew that James Dolan might have different ideas, so I dialed Dolan's phone number, and then Dolan told
I, he agreed to let you be more involved in the team's rebuilding work, and revealed that if you asked, he would even be willing to let Isiah Thomas get out of class now!"
Lin Yu secretly gave James Dolan a thumbs up: This guy is quite sincere!
However, he thought of Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf: "So, try calling the Bulls owner again?"
"Jerry Reinsdorf trusted John Paxson."
"The Bulls in the post-Jordan era are so bad, he still trusts them?"
"Jerry Krause only stepped down as president in 2003, which means John Paxson just took office in 2003. The Bulls have also gone through the playoffs in these years. Generally speaking, his work is quite qualified, at least better than that of the latter.
Jerry Krause did a great job during the Bulls era."
Lin Yu was helpless: "Okay, let's exclude the Bulls first. Unfortunately, I can't go to Chicago to continue the legend of No. 23..."
There was no trace of regret in Lin Yu's voice. Amanda Gray on the other side of the phone curled her lips: "So, between the Pistons and the Knicks, who do you prefer?"
"Pistons, so we have to wait and wait for the outcome of the renegotiation between Joe Dumars and Danny Ferry."

Lin Yu waited for another afternoon, and when the training was over, he saw an impatient Danny Ferry on the sidelines.
Danny Ferry didn't come to see Lin Yu, but stood on the sidelines and called James.
Watching James striding away with Danny Ferry, Lin Yu was thoughtful, and he seemed to understand something.
After training, I slowly returned home. Amanda Gray was sleeping soundly in the guest room.
Now is the time to wait for news and results.
If Joe Dumars convinces the Cavaliers to remove Chauncey Billups from the trade offer, Lin Yu will choose the Pistons. If not, Lin Yu will choose the Knicks.
Although he didn't sleep at all last night, unlike Amanda Grey, he was still full of energy.
Pull David Alexander and continue to practice wildly.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Amanda Gray was awakened by the noisy ringing of the phone, and Lin Yu and David Alexander also heard the noise.
So, at that moment, the whole villa was quiet.
Amanda Gray opened the door to the guest room and appeared on the terrace on the left side of the stadium. Lin Yu could clearly hear the conversation.
"So, Danny Ferry said no?"
After hanging up the phone, without Amanda Gredo's explanation, Lin Yu already understood the final result, but he frowned: "Amanda, call Nix and make a new request."
"Let them take David Lee out of the trade offer and replace him with any player other than Zach Randolph, Nate Robinson and Wilson Chandler. As long as it works out, I'll agree to join the Knicks."
Similarly, Isiah Thomas agreed without hesitation to the request related to the quotation.
"Go to sleep first, the results may not be available until tomorrow."
Lin Yu said hello, ran to the master bedroom, took a bath, and fell asleep.
On the other side, New York.
Isiah Thomas is also eager to complete Lin Yu's deal. Facing the crisis of dismissal, he has regarded Lin Yu as his life-saving straw and will not delay it as long as possible.
So, his phone call woke up Danny Ferry from his sleep.
Danny Ferry got up reluctantly. After hearing the request on the other end of the phone, he couldn't help shouting: "What? You want to change the transaction price too?"
After a while, he shouted again: "Absolutely impossible. David Lee is a young player at the fourth position with full potential, but Eddie Curry is a problem player. It is equivalent to negative equity. It is absolutely impossible."
impossible!"
After a while, everything became quiet again.
In another villa in Cleveland, Amanda Gray's phone rang.
So, in the middle of the night, Lin Yu was woken up again and learned the result.
"The Knicks were rejected too?"
Amanda Gray smiled bitterly: "Of course it will be rejected. After all, the previous offer was so generous, and the latter offer is obviously much worse. Everyone would choose to reject it."
"It's you, Lin. Why did you think of asking them to change the price?"
"Because I saw Danny Ferry approach LeBron today and had a tense exchange. I guess the four offers I got were selected by LeBron."
Lin Yu didn't want James to get the teammates he wanted, so he created some trouble for James.
In the end, if both parties' proposals to change the offer are not agreed to, he will choose the Knicks. The reason is simple: the offer offered by the Knicks to the Cavaliers cannot make the Cavaliers a championship-level team.
"Jamal Crawford is not that strong. He is a master of chaos, and he is not that suitable for James. Quentin Richardson has declined long ago, and only David Lee can be considered a strong reinforcement."
And if it were replaced by the Pistons, with the outside combination of Billups, Richard Hamilton, and James, plus the inside combination of Tianzun and Varejao, the league could directly announce the ownership of the championship.
By then, there will be a saying spread around the league: James in good times, Hamilton in bad times, and Billups in bad times!
However, before making the final decision, Lin Yu asked Amanda Gray to contact the top management of the two teams: continue to make requests to change the offer, and be sure to keep Chauncey or David Lee!
