The Trail Blazers can be said to be the most humane team in the active NBA. They actually signed Lillard, who was cut by the Bucks due to an Achilles tendon injury for three years and 42 million yuan. You should know that he is still recovering from injuries to the injury. The quotations given by the league teams are at most the minimum salary of the veterans, and the general manager's operations are awe-inspiring. In order to pursue the championship, the leading star of the team has been wandering outside for two years. Although he has not achieved success, his entire peak has been dedicated to the Trail Blazers. The team has not forgotten his efforts. At the age of 35, he still accepts him with a serious Achilles tendon injury. It has to be said that the Trail Blazers has attracted a lot of fans. In the past two years after Lillard left, the Trail Blazers have made a lot of money. First, they exchanged for the first round of Holiday, Ayton, Kamara and a Bucks, plus two future first round swaps. Then Holiday was traded to the Celtics again for the first round picks of Rowe, Brogdon, Warriors and Celtics. Lillard's two-year super maximum salary was still the salary given by the Bucks.

In this way, in the past two years after Lillard joined, the Bucks have lost the loss. While breaking up the winning lineup, they also blocked the team's recruitment space. The team's champion members also left the team one by one. The scraps obtained made the team difficult in the past two years, and even Antetokounmpo almost left.

The Bucks' initial expectation was that the letters lacked long-distance shooting ability at critical moments, and the star of Middleton was not good enough, and the explosiveness of scoring was insufficient, which was exchanged for Lillard to improve the team's scoring ability at critical moments. However, the reality is that in order to get Lillard, the team replaced the outside defense core Holiday and the third-D Grayson Allen. Lillard's defensive shortcomings were exposed, and Middleton's continued decline due to injury, the team's outside defense was in vain. The duo of Lillard and Letters is less than 1+1 than two. The team not only declined in the regular season dominance, but was also controlled by the younger and more comprehensive Pacers in the playoffs last season. Fortunately, the team picked up a useless champion in the mid-season, and the Bucks have not won anything in the past two years.

Although several real-time combat power were signed at a bargain price during the offseason, buying out Lillard's salary space will allow the team to waste a quasi-All-Star spot in the next five years. This is why the Bucks cut Lillard and Antetokounmpo still did not express whether to stay in the team. Not to mention paying high luxury tax for signings, even if the non-combat reduction of $22.5 million is now, the team still has not solved the problem of whether to compete for the championship.
