Talk about the market operations in the past few days

1. The Bucks' knife operation content

cut off Lillard, signed Miles Turner, 107 million yuan in 4 years, renewed Sims in 2 years, and signed Gary Harrison in 2018 for the second year, and sent Connaughton and the second rounds of 31 and 32 years to the Hornets, getting Misic, although Doncic and Davis exchanged their bosses' deal opened up the market imagination, the Bucks' swing of their swords still gave the market some small shock in another dimension. If you cut off your maximum salary for two years, you will be locked in more than 22.5 million yuan in the next five years. If you don’t consider the special circumstances of the Bucks, this is not something that a normal-minded management can do. What special circumstances do

Bucks?

To put it bluntly, they have Antetokounmpo, a historical star, and they know very clearly how low the probability of choosing a player of the same level in the future. In order to grasp the era of being given, they can only do their best. So here is a not-so-hard-thinking arithmetic problem:

Antetokounmpo can break out of the contract in the summer of 2027. Even if he leaves as a free agent, he only needs to wait for another two years, not to mention applying for a transaction at any time. If the Bucks continue to follow the team building principle of "If there are no letters, what is the meaning of the Bucks as a team?", the time window left for them is only now to the summer of 2027, and they can even advance this window to the summer of 2026, and they cannot consider anything that happens outside this window;

Lillard took away 54.1 million in the 25-26 season but was unable to play most of the time. The Bucks don't know what level Lillard has after his return. Of course, Lillard should not jump out of the player option in the summer of 2026, but considering the decline after returning from a serious injury and recovery of his condition, the Bucks should prepare for Lillard not to be very helpful in the next two years of contract. This means that the Bucks have a certain probability that they will lack combat power worth more than 54.1 million in the next two seasons;

If the Bucks cut Lillard and pay his contract separately in the next five years, the Bucks will each have more than 30 million in space. As for the 22.5 million yuan extra annual salary that will be out of thin air in the next three years, it will happen after the letter contract period. On the Bucks' world line, the universe after 2027 does not exist at all. After calculating the accounts, it is true that the Bucks cut off Lillard and obtained salary space is the best way for them to improve their strength during the letter contract period. Turner is also one of the few centers in this league whose shooting and defensive mobility are harmonious with letters. He can complete most of Daluo's functions on the offensive end, and then provide defensive mobility that Daluo does not have. The 107 million yuan given by the Bucks in four years is not expensive, and Turner will get less money next season than Clarkston. This is the price of what kind of bicycle you want, which is very good.

The ridiculous thing is, why would the Pacers lose to their competitors at this price?

Alas, it was such a short moment for the walker to fall from heaven to the abyss. They were so close to the championship trophy that everything became different after Harry fell. The Pacers turned to a conservative team building. When Turner was about to become a team celebrity, the story of Wolf coming became true.

Pacers have salary pressure, if they stay, they will go above the luxury tax line and Pacers are strictly controlled. This book is not a big problem. If the Pacers were the champion, or at least Halliburton did not fall, the team retained the possibility of coming again in the next year, and the boss should not retreat at this time. But things are heading for the worst, Harry's injury has left the Pacers unable to imagine returning to the Finals in the summer of 2026, and they have to go through at least one transitional season, which gives tax avoidance a legitimate reason.

Pacers are known for their core rotation and omnipotent performance. Correspondingly, they always have to hold multiple contracts of tens of millions at the same time. To maintain this model instead of being overwhelmed by the accumulated tens of millions of contracts, walkers must ensure "metabolism of holding positions", which is actually one of the reasons why they can keep it from being bad and not being bad. When Turner becomes no one else's cost-effective, he has to be "metabolized", which is common for walkers.

Okay, no matter how I explain it, the fact is, the team that was constantly bringing us miracles more than half a month ago, their ace start-up injury was gone. Turner has his problem. Even if he has both the basket protection and the shooting, he still has less playing time in the playoffs. Carlisle would rather use five small players than use him at some moments. But Turner's type is still too scarce. The Bucks cut off Lillard for him, and they also know how rare this opportunity is. The Pacers will not be able to fill this role for a while, and while they are waiting for Harry, there should be part of their mission to find the next more cost-effective Turner.

The Bucks signed Gary Harrison and Sims, both of whom were able to use as late-bench players. There is nothing to say about dealing with Connaughton's contract. The interesting thing is that looking at the Bucks' operations in the summer, except for the contract given to Portis is 2+1, the contract given to others is 1+1, and the second year is the player option, and some of them are very likely to contribute more than their annual salary. There was an explanation in the article on July 1 that for the Bucks, the 25-26 season is a transitional season, and it is hard to say what their future will be like. Both sides make concessions, giving players greater flexibility and certainty, and earning their annual salary cost-effectiveness.

But after the Bucks cut Lillard and bought Turner, the 25-26 season can no longer be regarded as a transitional season. Instead, they need to achieve results this year - everything the Bucks do must be keeping Antetokounmpo as their first goal, which is also the meaningful premise for them to do all this. The 25-26 season is still bad, but if you don't have the same letters, you will change your mind. Then, the significance of being able to leave a few important rotations at a relatively cheap price will further improve, and the player options of these people in the 26-27 season can also be regarded as another version of "cutting Lillard" - what these players look like in the 26-27 season is not important at all. Everything must serve the present and serve the stable letters of the 25-26 season.

The Bucks' sword is not a hero's arm cut. The hero's arm cuts off just to survive and cannot become stronger. The Bucks must stimulate the combat power of additional salary space. This sword is more like "If you want to practice this skill, you must first XX." But the Bucks only have a top inside combination, and there is still a little star-like appearance in other positions. This cannot compete for the world's number one, nor can they become the leader of the Five Mountains.

Fortunately, this is a high emotional intelligence alliance.

Where should Bill go for a buyout?

Maybe it's okay, the Bucks have already calculated two blows. After two blows, the sound of the waves remained.

Evaluation: X, depending on where the letters play next year

2. Others

Kings

3 years 45 million sign Schroeder

11 year contract signing Eubanks

First of all, congratulations to Xiao Hei on getting a good contract. Last season, his performances with the Nets and the Pistons guaranteed competitiveness in the free market this summer. He deserves this contract and is very glad that he did not have the future affected by the failed cooperation with the Warriors.

But the significance of the king's contract is questionable. Is Monk leaving? There are rumors that he was involved in the Kumingga deal with the Warriors. If it is true, the Warriors management is there? If it is fake, then the Kings think that Monk is closer to a double-purpose guard, and after they sent Fox away, there has been a lack of competitive players in the pure No. 1 position?

I can only say that after a team has Sa Sak, Raven, DeRozan, Monk and Schroeder, they will not lack the ability to develop offensively. But resources are highly concentrated in the backcourt. Whether the King can really be competitive is a question mark. How many serious strikers are there now? Eubanks is probably not good at substitute No. 5. There are too many positions of

2, and then I found that the number 1 position was missing. I introduced the number 1 position and found that there was not enough staff in the frontcourt. This story sounds familiar and once again verified the principle that the limitations of the function of the number 2 position should not be over-held.

So, I understand very well why the king wants Kuminga. He is really the type that the king needs with his position and athletic ability.

Evaluation: C

Lakers signed a contract of 16.6 million in 2012. There is nothing to say about this contract. With Dunbao's near-basket hand jobs and mid-caps, it is a super-equipped job for Dongzi as a cake-eating tool. Dunbao is not considered an inside defensive gate, and his talent is there after all. In the year when he followed the Suns to the finals in the 20-21 season, Dunbao's defense was in line with the rules and no big problems. He used him as the center and also built a defensive team in the top few days of the league. As long as the outside leader and forward defense are strong enough and Dunbao does not drag on defense, the Lakers will only improve these two weaknesses in the future.

The treasure of more than 30 million was avoided, and the treasure of more than 8 million was called really fragrant.

The Trail Blazers can indeed do it.

Evaluation: A+

Nuggets & Kings

Signed a one-year contract with Hardaway Jr. Valan and Saric exchanged. Valan returned to Europe to give up all his salary

The Nuggets are in need of a shooter very much, and the basic salary is bet on a famous shooter who averaged 28 minutes per game in the last season and was rejuvenated for the second spring. There is nothing wrong with it. The improvement is that the Nuggets did not give the 1+1 player option this time, which is equivalent to net profit of 3 second rounds at the start.

Interestingly, the exchange between Valan and Salic. The king's motivation for this deal was that after they signed Schroeder, they broke the luxury tax line, while Saric only had half of Valan's salary, which could help them avoid taxes. The Nuggets' motivation is obviously to have a substitute center, and Valan is competent.

But afterwards, Valan wanted to return to Europe and was willing to give up all the NBA salary, which was equivalent to the Nuggets' contract worth more than 10 million yuan. More specifically, it is equivalent to the Nuggets clearing Saric's 5.4 million contract without loss, and they took three second rounds to send Reggie away last year. With this happening, coupled with the space that Porter exchanged for Huang Zhong to clear, the Nuggets have a complete and full middle-class contract (I was not satisfied with it before, but now it is OK), and they still have the opportunity to continue to strengthen.

What is the king? Have you eaten Saric's contract for nothing? Originally, they could have reduced their payroll by 10 million without loss, but now they have divided the Nuggets in half for no reason?

I tend to think that Valan's return to Europe was not a sudden attack, and both sides probably knew that he had this intention. The king bought Saric's contract and was worthy of being a paired meat ticket. This is related to the rumors they want to Kumingga...

Let's wait and see.

shouldn't be the second entry into the palace...

Evaluation: Nuggets A, King? ? ?

Heat& Pistons

Pistols were signed for Duncan Robinson, and the contract was 48 million for 3 years

Heat got Vontecio

The article on July 1st is still saying that LeVert can fill Schroeder's pit, who fills Beasley's pit? Deng Luo is here.

Beasley played 82 games last season, averaging 27.8 minutes per game, contributing 16.3 points + 3.9 three-pointers, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 41.6%. He is the Pistons' second scorer and offensive pillar on the bench. His role is of great significance to the Pistons and needs to find a high-level tactical shooter to take over.

Okay, the Pistons let Hardaway go.

Dunro obviously meets this standard. Only looking at three-pointers, Bisley was slightly more aggressive than Dunro in the last season, and Dunro has made progress in operational control and ball play in the past two years, and his playing style is diverse, and he is a good team player. His three-year 48 million is more reasonable than his previous contract and should be worthy. It is also a more rational choice for individuals to be able to jump out of a player option with a higher share of shares and sign a longer contract.

Fontechio looked like a shooter forward in the Jazz's final season and when he first went to the Pistons. But his shooting performance did not continue, and he only achieved a qualified outside level in his career. The Heat needs to scrape it. However, compared to Deng Luo's contract to stay in the team, the Heat still reduced their payroll by more than 10 million yuan through this transaction, completely away from the luxury tax line. It is difficult to predict the direction of the Heat now. What is certain is that before having the next team-building core, optimizing the salary structure is not a bad thing.

Rating: Pistons B+, Heat B

Knicks

1200 signing with Yabussele in 2012, 15}

Yabussele has something to do with offense, with three-pointers and a combined ball, and can make two-way choices in the pick-and-roll, which can be used when a space-type inner line rotation. It can be regarded as a low-end version after Towns flattened.

Since Achuva is basically sure that he will not return, Yabuselle can at least make up for his position. Last season, Achuwa played 57 games and played 1,170 minutes, and he had a lot of time as the third insider. Miro, after all, glass, Towns and OG also have maintenance needs. Yabuselle took the same money as Achouva last season, and his projection was better, and perhaps better compatibility as the 4/5 swingman. From this perspective, the Knicks have upgraded their lineup.
