Achilles tendon damages two superstars? Bucks bet on Turner s double towers, Lillard s 58.46 million contract turns into garbage

**Milwaukee late night thunder! **On July 2, the NBA free market revealed the most shocking operation of the century - the Bucks management announced the use of extended terms to cut off point guard Damian Lillard, and then signed Pacers center Miles Turner for 4 years and $107 million. This transaction that affects the alliance structure is like dropping a nuclear bomb on a calm lake.

According to ESPN salary expert Bobby Max, the Bucks share Lillard's remaining 2-year 113 million contracts to the next five years, accounting for only $22.6 million in salary space each year. Although this "breaking the whole into pieces" operation avoids the luxury tax bomb, it has put the team in heavy shackles for the next five years - according to the labor-management agreement, the Bucks are prohibited from using extended terms in the 2025-26 season, and the total share of wages shall not exceed 15% of the salary cap for the quarter.

The two years of Lillard in Milwaukee are ill-fated: in March this year, the deep vein thrombosis of his right calf was first cured, and G4 suffered a rupture in his left Achilles tendon in the first round of the playoffs. Medical expert Brian Sattle wrote in Sports Medicine Weekly: "Successive major injuries may end Damian's peak period, and his emergency stop jump shot will permanently degrade. "The last data left by the six-time All-Star was frozen at 24.6 points and 7 assists, and his $58.46 million player option was rated as the "League's Most Poisonous Contract" by Sports Illustrated.

The Milwaukee Sentinel exclusively revealed that Giannis Antetokounmpo fell angrily after learning about the transaction at the training hall. The two-time MVP has a close relationship with Lillard. The two have just practiced together in Greece for half a month this summer. Insiders revealed: "Giannis believes that the management betrays the promise, and he asks the team to strengthen immediately, not rebuild. "This has laid a time bomb for the Bucks locker room.

29-year-old Turner airborne the Wisconsin State with top franchise data of 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2 blocks. It is interesting that the Pacers offered a three-year, 60 million contract renewal offer, but a serious Achilles tendon injury in the Halliburton finals changed everything. Turner's agent Ricci Paul revealed: "We had a video conference with Giannis, and he promised to give Miles more low-post tactics. "

The Bucks' operations this summer are crazy: Portis renewed the contract for 44 million in three years and 44 million in three years and 4,500,000 in two years and 7.5 million in three-point shooting scorer Trent, and even got Serbian point guard Misic through the trade. But Brooke Lopez's departure worried experts - famous commentator Stephen A. Smith said bluntly in the show: "The combination of Turner + Antetokounmpo lacks spatial attributes, which will turn the penalty area into canned sardines. "

[League Shock]

This deal triggered a butterfly effect: After Lillard entered the buyout market, many teams including the Heat and the Lakers have started chasing; and the Pacers who lost Turner are rumored to be negotiating a deal with Kessler with the Jazz. Salary experts estimate that the Bucks' luxury tax in the new season is still as high as $42 million. If the record does not meet expectations, the first round of 2027 may become a bargaining chip.

This gamble between capital and competition will eventually become Milwaukee's second championship, or will it become the last straw that broke Antetokounmpo's loyalty? The suspense of the new NBA season begins to boil from this midsummer.
