The Bucks officially cut Lillard! 5 signings backfire, Antetokounmpo finally left calmly
After the NBA free market opened, the Rockets and the Nuggets quickly became winners. The Rockets signed Finney Smith + Capela, including the renewal of Jia Jordan + Adams, and the 8-for-1 win to get Durant. The lineup framework is enough to challenge the championship Thunder last season. The Nuggets sent Porter Jr. to exchange Cameron Johnson, and signed back to the former champion Bruce Brown. The team also has a full middle-class special case available, and the lineup depth will definitely be higher than last season. And in the East, there is a team that is completely crazy. They are the Bucks. In the words of the US media, the Bucks decided to fight for Antetokounmpo again! The formal sack of Lillard was reached, and Wubi signed the contract, but this time Antetokounmpo was finally able to leave. On the first day of the opening of the free market, the Bucks immediately took back four free agents, renewed Portis for 44 million in three years (the market is around 18 million), renewed Kevin Porter Jr. for 11 million in two years (as expected), renewed Prince for 7.1 million in two years (the market is around 5 million), and received Trent Jr. for 7.5 million in two years, with an average of 18.8 points per game in the playoffs. However, the team also said goodbye to Lopez. Lopez finally joined the Clippers for 18 million in two years and played the role of Zubac as a substitute in the new season. But the Bucks' management's magical operation was just the beginning. After the second trading day was started, the Bucks made a bold decision to poach Pacers center Miles Turner for 4 years (the Pacers are only willing to pay 75 million for 3 years). Does the
Does the Bucks still have salary space? Famous reporter Charania confirmed that the Bucks chose to sack Lillard, with a salary of US$113 million for the remaining two years and a deferred payment. It will be distributed to the next five seasons, accounting for about 23 million of the team's salary space each year, thereby freeing up the salary space to get Turner! First of all, all sources come from walkers. The Pacers suffered a serious injury to Halliburton's Achilles tendon. Although the team reached the finals last season, they have a strong willingness to avoid taxes in the new season. Like the Celtics, they almost gave up early. After Lopez of the Big Big, the team will be completely broken up. The only difference is that Antetokounmpo and the Bucks break up first. However, the Bucks successively used bargain prices to recover four important players, ensuring the team's lower limit (top four levels in the Eastern Conference).
This is definitely not enough! As the top three super giant in the league, Antetokounmpo wants to compete for the championship. Lillard suffered a torn Achilles tendon in this playoffs, and he will not be able to return until the playoffs as soon as next season. Moreover, Lillard was 35 years old when he returned, which has become a burden. In this case, it is reasonable, but unexpected! In the words of the US media, Lillard is a super giant in history of 75. His choice to leave the Bucks by buying out essentially proves that the Bucks’ original transaction and Lillard’s career at the Bucks were both failures. From a salary of 54 million next season to a five-year extension, a salary of 22.6 million will be earned every year. The Bucks chose Turner for this 30 million salary space.
To be honest, it is very difficult for the Bucks to strengthen in the future, but there is still room for operation. First of all, the Bucks' first-round pick assets will belong to others in the next five years, and they will not be able to regain control of their first round until 2031. This means that the bad play has no meaning to them, but there is only one first-round pick that can be used as a trading reinforcement! But with Lillard for Turner, plus the bargain price renewal, the Bucks also have a full middle-class special case available. Moreover, the entire lineup framework of the team in the new season is quite competitive in the East. Turner is in the inside, Antetokounmpo and Kuzma have a forward combination, Trent Jr. + Prince + Porter Jr., and Portis on the bench. The middle class special case (or split) they need to find a ball holder, such as Paul.
The Bucks have achieved their best! Previously, famous reporter Charania revealed that Antetokounmpo would not decide his future too early, and he will depend on the team's offseason operation. The Bucks do their best, but in the words of famous reporter Hayes, Antetokounmpo is very dissatisfied with the team's layoff of Lillard. To put it bluntly, the Bucks are not qualified to show off their bad habits. They are like poor scholars. They want mobile phones, branded bags and cosmetics for their girlfriends, and they are trying to save money every month, and even to satisfy her, they use up the money for future marriage. The attitude is good, but is that enough? All his efforts may not be as good as a meal for the rich second generation. The small city cannot retain its soul and still apply to the Bucks. They really can't satisfy Antetokounmpo.
Lillard was laid off, which was the last straw that broke Antetokounmpo! Previously, US media analyzed that if Antetokounmpo voluntarily applies to leave the team, the potential next company will have to take out at least five first-round picks + two young talented players chips. There are many things that can satisfy this in the entire league, including the Rockets, Raptors, Spurs, Nets, etc. Lillard was laid off, whoever snatched it first might be not far from getting Antetokounmpo! It’s better for the Bucks to morally kidnap Antetokounmpo, but they didn’t expect to be disappointed. It’s really a mistake! Antetokounmpo can leave calmly. As for the future of the Bucks, how can they still have a future?
