Fu Zhenghao: In the past, the NBA was growing together between the team and the stars, and now it is more like roulette

According to Shams, the Bucks cut Lillard with extended clauses.

media person Fu Zhenghao interpreted this, the original text is as follows:

cut off Lillard and introduced 107 million yuan in four years to Turner! The Bucks did try to keep Antetokounmpo. Emotionally, Lillard may not be able to accept the severance of Lillard, but the Bucks have now been forced to shoot in order to keep Antetokounmpo.

Lillard has a ruptured Achilles tendon in the playoffs this year. The 35-year-old veteran may not be expected to return until next season's playoffs. His two-year contract of up to 113 million will be paid in five years in installments, allowing the Bucks to free up their salary space to sign Turner.

NBA is really crazy now. Ayton had a one-year expiration contract with 33.5 million yuan left, which has a certain transaction value, but the Trail Blazers chose to lay off employees directly. Now Lillard has 2 years left with 113 million, and the Bucks cut it without blinking. This is not like 113 million, which is more enjoyable than cutting stars with an annual salary of tens of millions ten years ago.

In the past, the NBA was a team and the stars who were patient, motivated each other, and grew up together. Now it is more like a one-time deal like roulette. Investors and general managers are strong in gambling. Everyone is happy in gambling. If you lose the gambling, you will immediately reshuffle without any hesitation. Lillard had only two seasons of full play in the Bucks. He was highly expected when he came, but he was cut in less than two years. It was hard to imagine that players of this level would be cut off in the past, but now NBA stars are just like consumables. If they don’t have the patience, they might as well be cut off. The reshuffle and reconstruction of NBA teams is getting faster and faster, and the utilitarian color is getting stronger and stronger.
