Basketball

This season's NBA playoffs have entered the finals stage, and the two young teams, the Thunder and the Pacers, are on the top. Due to the Thunder's strong strength, the core Alexander is likely to become the MVP + scoring champion + best team + Western Conference Finals MVP + championship + FMVP Grand Slam winner this season. In the words of US media, the two teams in this season's finals have proved to the outside world that if you want to reach the end, you must need a strong and complete team and an absolutely tough leader core. Alexander and Halliburton both meet this point, and the Pacers and Thunder's lineup thickness are also the best in the league. At the same time, the remaining 28 teams that have ended this season have begun to prepare for next season. The Knicks, who have entered the Eastern Conference Finals, are the first to fire Thibodeau.

Obviously, although Thibodeau has a good lower limit on leading the team, it does not meet the team's demand for championships. In addition, many superstars are planning to change teams this summer, and the most discussed ones are naturally Antetokounmpo and Durant, and the order of the two is: Antetokounmpo finds the next home first, and Durant will become the spare candidate for many teams to pursue Antetokounmpo after they are hopeless. In addition, there are many teams facing team dismantling this summer, and the Celtics are facing huge salary pressure. Popes + Holiday and even the Finals MVP Brown may leave; Cavaliers find a next home for Allen and Garland, and the Timberwolves are also preparing to rebuild the lineup, but there is a team that will make a bad move next season and rebuild the channel, which is the Bucks. As the "culprit", Lillard cannot refuse to blame.

Antescoundrel is preparing to leave the team. According to several team reporters, the Rockets, Spurs, even the Raptors and the Thunder can all take out enough chips that the Bucks can't refuse. In the words of Raptors' reporter Doyan Smith, the Raptors are willing to trade Antetokounmpo with everyone on the roster, intending to replicate the 2019 Leonard's deal. Of course, this will definitely involve the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers, because the previous deals involving Holiday and Lillard, the Bucks gave away a lot of their first round picks. If they want to rebuild the team, the best way is to get their first round picks back. Then can Antetokounmpo not go? Tell me the answer directly: Impossible! The Bucks' first round pick this year belongs to the Nets, the first round swap rights in 26 years belong to the Pelicans, and the Pelicans and the Hawks in 27 years.

Trail Blazers also have the Bucks' first round swap rights in 28+30 years and the first round pick in 29 years. The Bucks' lineup team is ineligible to play in the playoff level! The Bucks team reporter Jimmy confirmed that Lillard may return in April next year, which directly means early reimbursement next season! Lillard has two years to contract with the Bucks, with a next season of $58.55 million, and a player-led option in the 26-27 season, worth $63.23 million. Lillard cannot be given away because the Bucks have no high-quality assets to pay, so they can only support Lillard. In addition, Kuzma has a contract of nearly 22 million. Can Antetokounmpo stay in the team? There is no hope of playing badly and there is no strength to make it to the playoffs. Antetokounmpo said through Doncic’s deal before that he should go to the metropolis.

At the end of the regular season, Lillard suffered from deep vein thrombosis in his right calf, and Wenban Yama was reimbursed for the season. Although Lillard was absent for one month, he played extremely poorly in the first three games of the playoffs, averaging 7 points and 4.7 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of as low as 22% + 18% in both events, and then suffered a torn Achilles tendon! Lillard turns 35 in the offseason and continues to recover from injury for a year next season. When he returns to the 26-27 season, he is about to be 37 years old and will still have a contract of $63 million. In the words of the US media, Lillard should be one of the most overrated super giants in the NBA. The highest honor in his career is to lead the team to the Western Conference Finals, and then easily swept by the Warriors in the remnants of the team. He was selected into the best team 7 times, but he was selected into the NBA 75 super giant.

In the past two years of coming to the Bucks, their average 24 points and 7 assists per game looks okay, but their shooting percentages in both events are as low as 43% + 36%. In the playoffs last year, Lillard's On-Off value was as low as -19.3. In the regular season of this season, Lillard's On-Off value was -4.1. The on-the-scene effect was 800 enemies and the loss of one thousand of them was on his own. The defense became a serious drag and the offensive end was also very ups and downs. In the words of the Bucks' reporter, Lillard and Antetokounmpo rarely intersect in private. The Bucks' straight decline in the past two years started with the trading of Lillard. Keywords: Lillard can recover to the previous level after undergoing a major Achilles tendon injury. He is different from Durant and Clay. He relies very much on possessing the ball and shaking the space to end, and puts the most pressure on his ankles.

There are two points to be sure. First of all, because Lillard is reimbursed in advance next season + a super contract, Antetokounmpo's departure is a foregone conclusion, and the Bucks can only exchange their first round picks as much as possible in the next few years and enter the reconstruction track. Secondly, after Lillard's super maximum salary contract is over, it will be difficult for him to get a big contract again. He is different from Harden and Westbrook. Harden can still transform into an on-field metronome at the end of his career, but Harden is obviously more durable. Westbrook works hard and is willing to be a role player, and has a good defensive deterrence. After Lillard's Achilles tendon injury this time, he did not defend and his offense may decline sharply. He may really be considering retirement.
