Recently, Lillard temporarily left due to personal matters, and the Bucks lost to the Jazz as a result. This begs for speculation, did Lillard leave because he was unhappy with the team? Is there a conflict within the Bucks? Recall that in the past, Lillard always stepped up and scored consecutive points to win the game when he was behind in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. But now, even if Lillard doesn't play a fight, the Bucks are still not doing well. 
We can't help but ask, did the Bucks trade succeed or fail in the offseason? Judging by the atmosphere in the locker room, Lillard is already feeling uncomfortable, a very different feeling from being the boss during his time with the Trail Blazers. And in Harden, we see his unwavering belief in championships and detachment from all kinds of gossip. In contrast, Lillard's current predicament seems to be just the beginning. 
In fact, before trading, Lillard should understand such an outcome. His stats from his time with the Trail Blazers were impressive, but his presence in the game was not strong, and he was very fond of shooting hero shots. Although this style of play can create miracles at critical moments, if you can't shoot, it will put huge pressure on the team. With such a big contract, he could at least perform better than Harden, but now it seems that the initiative is not in his hands. 
Management's trade decisions in the offseason also had consequences. The original champion team may be a better choice if it is properly reinforced. Forcing a big trade could end up creating rifts within the team. If Antetokounmpo calls for a trade as a result, then the Bucks could face a rebuilding dilemma. 
I foresaw this loss-making deal in the offseason, but it was strongly opposed by Lillard fans. But now it has been proven that the salary of 6000w may be of greater help to the team if it is used in a more suitable place. Lillard, who has lost his crosshairs, really doesn't seem to be of much use now. 
As much as I don't like the Bucks, Lillard's scoring streak is really impressive. However, if there is a problem in the locker room, everyone will be affected, and Lillard's absence this time is no exception. #nba#
