Because of Lin Yu's request, the Pistons and Knicks had to argue with the Cavaliers, but the argument was quite difficult because originally, the Knicks and Pistons believed that the decision was in the hands of the Cavaliers, so the Cavaliers couldn't refuse the offer regardless of the situation.
At a high price, they got Lin Yu, whom they had longed for.
But the current situation is that the knight actually handed over the decision-making power to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu, who seems to have the power to make decisions, is very patient, because now he has a rough idea of who his next owner will be, so he is not so urgent, and can even leisurely establish the next stage of development plan for himself.
However, as his attributes have improved to this stage, it becomes increasingly difficult to steal.
This time, whether he transferred to the Knicks or the Pistons, there was no suitable target for stalking. Fortunately, Lin Yu still had some stalks in the process of stealing. If he joined a new team, he would speed up stealing stalks.
speed.
"To break through further, you need to have more scoring methods near the frame and under the basket. It doesn't look simple, but if you actually steal one or two tricks, all the problems will be solved."
There are quite a few memes that Lin Yu is stealing, including Poisonous Milk stalks, the nickname of the God of Death, stalks directed by Long (Lin), etc. Poisonous Milk stalks should be able to steal random attributes, characteristics and time-effective items.
Death is Durant's nickname, and what can be stolen are Durant's corresponding attributes. However, Lin Yu has already stolen a lot of Durant's memes. If he steals again this time, it will be difficult to guarantee what he will get.
Finally, there is Coach Lin’s clue. He is from Rondo, and it will most likely give Lin Yu better passing organization skills. It should be the most effective for Lin Yu at this stage.
"In the next stage, try your best to steal Director Lin's clues..."
Lin Yu patiently waited for the outcome of the dispute between the two sides. During this period, the Cavaliers played another game. Lin Yu still performed well, providing the Cavaliers with the confidence to kill the initial offer and not relax.
But the Knicks and Pistons also became more and more crazy. In order to get Lin Yu, they also insisted on changing the offer price.
So, for a while, the deal came to a standstill, and the time was about to move towards the All-Star Weekend.

"Danny, why isn't the deal done yet?"
One day before the All-Star Weekend, James rushed to Danny Ferry's office. After questioning him, it was time for Danny Ferry to complain.
"The Pistons and Knicks were so frustrated that they didn't know what they were getting, and they changed their initial offers. One didn't want Chauncey, and the other didn't want David Lee. I've been arguing with them for many days, and the deal is far away.
Completed, just the last step left..."
James frowned: "So, Lin chose the Pistons and the Knicks?"
Danny Ferry nodded, and James continued to ask: "The Suns and Bulls withdrew their offers?"
Danny Ferry shook his head again: "The Bulls have withdrawn their offer, but the Suns have not."
After the Kobe Bryant trade last season, the Bulls didn't want to be fooled a second time. After being bluntly rejected by Lin Yu, they withdrew their offer.
So now, only the Suns are still maintaining their initial offer.
"Then send him to Phoenix without passing by Lin."
James' tone was very unquestionable, as if he was telling Danny Ferry to just do it.
Danny Ferry hesitated. Although James has almost turned the Cavaliers into his boss, the real boss of the Cavaliers is still Dan Gilbert after all.
"Daniel (Gilbert) said the final decision should be left to Lin."
"I'll tell Daniel, just do as I say, this deal can't be delayed any longer!"
"..."
Danny Ferry hesitated, not knowing what to choose.
He is like a pawn in the battles between many big guys. If he makes one wrong move, he may become a victim. The choice between James and Dan Gilbert is really too difficult.
He didn't sleep all night and his eyes were dark.
But after one night, when he finally decided to completely lean toward James, the league officially announced a deal.
"Shark, hacker swap, potential point guard Marcus Banks is added, Phoenix welcomes the strongest center in team history!"
He felt like crying when he saw this official announcement, but deep down he breathed a sigh of relief. The Suns had no choice, so, at least on the surface, he would not go against Dan Gilbert's request.
After calling James, Danny Ferry's voice was quite tired: "LeBron, we are a step late. The Suns and Heat have completed the deal."
"I see it, then let's talk to the Pistons and Knicks. If they are willing to maintain the initial offer, then the deal will be concluded directly."
"Seducing them?" Danny Ferry immediately understood what James meant, and he took action immediately.
First, he called Pistons general manager Joe Dumars. He hoped to reach a deal with the Pistons more than the Knicks.
Because as soon as several of the Pistons' bargaining chips join the team, the new Cavaliers are ready to compete for the championship.
Several of the Knicks' bargaining chips still need further work from him before they can finally take shape.
He was tired and didn't want to fight for another deal.
But as soon as the call was dialed and he explained his intention, the honest man Joe Dumas refused directly: "Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, and Rasheed Wallace, there will be no counter-offer!
"
Danny Ferry hung up the phone directly and then called Isiah Thomas.
"Isiah, I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. If you agree to the initial offer, then the deal will be concluded directly. We can submit the transaction information to the league officials tonight, and it will be officially announced tomorrow morning!"
Danny Ferry's answer was silence.
Then, Isiah Thomas gave a hoarse affirmative answer: "Jamal Crawford, David Lee, Quentin Richardson and this season's unprotected first-round pick, Lin Yu
With Shannon Brown, the deal is done!"
The Cavaliers have always wanted to make an addition, because their 15-man roster is full, and they need to free up spots to complete the transaction. Cutting David Wesley can free up a position, and another addition can be made.
out of another location.
The only difference between Shannon Brown, Brian Cook, and Joe Smith may be that Shannon Brown is younger and has more potential.
But this Cavaliers really has no room for Shannon Brown to practice. Even if he is sent away as an additional player, Danny Ferry does not feel bad at all.
After Isiah Thomas confirmed the specific content of the transaction, he once again gave an affirmative answer: "No problem, Isiah, you want Shannon Brown, then Shannon Brown!"
"Well, nice to work with you, Danny."
In New York, Isiah Thomas stood up suddenly and waved his fist.
The deal was reached, and the new star player he wanted to lead the Knicks forward was finally coming, although he broke his promise to Lin Yu.
