Antetokounmpo has been playing for the Bucks since he entered the league, $100 million for four years, and two for five years$2.8 billion, 3 years 17.6 billion US dollars, Brother Alphabet has signed 3 contracts with the Bucks, Brother Alphabet I want to live up to the Bucks for the rest of my life, but the strength of the Bucks does not allow it to live up to Brother Alphabet's wishes, sooner or later Brother Alphabet will apply for a transaction, and he wants to go to a bigger stage to realize his dream.
Brother Alphabet entered the league in 2013 as the No. 15 rookie, where he evolved from a rough brother to a star in the league, and in the summer of 16, the Bucks signed a contract extension in advance for 4 years and 100 million yuan.
He made the All-Star Second Team in the 16-17 season, and if he renews his contract at this time, he can get a five-year oneThe maximum salary of about 400 million.
Since then, Brother Alphabet has been out of control, and has been selected as an Eastern All-Star starter many times, the best team for a while, and also won the regular season MVP in the 18-19 season and the 19-20 season.
The Bucks naturally will not let go of Brother Alphabet, a popular star, and Brother Alphabet also has a deep affection for the Bucks, so in December 2020, the Bucks and Brother Alphabet signed a 5-year 2A super big contract of 2.8 billion.
In the 20-21 season, the Bucks won the championship, and Brother Alphabet also became FMVP, and in the following season, Brother Alphabet has been a regular on the All-Star team and All-Star starters.
In the summer of 2023, the Bucks got Lillard through a trade, which also made Brother Alphabet very happy, and he was very happy to have a 3-year relationship with the Bucks7.6 billion contract renewal in advance, this season's salary is 45.64 million, and each subsequent season is 48.79 million, 54.29 million, 58.63 million, and 62.97 million respectively, and Brother Alphabet's contract will not end until 28 years, when Brother Alphabet is 34 years old.
Brother Alphabet has earned 23.4 billion, the Bucks' wishful thinking is that Brother Alphabet will jump out of the contract with the player option in 27, and then Brother Alphabet and the Bucks sign a 5-year super maximum salary contract, so that the 27-year-old and 33-year-old Brother Alphabet can perfectly avoid the 38-year-old rule and maximize the interests of Brother Alphabet.
The idea of the Bucks is that as much salary as the league allows, but the Bucks also have to think that if the team doesn't do well, they can request a trade.
The Bucks traded Holiday and others for Lillard this summer, and the Bucks believe Lillard and Antetokounmpo could form the league's strongest duo.
But Lillard's performance disappointed the Bucks, who have 24 of his 51 games this season6 points 41 rebound 6Seven assists, but he shot just 42 from the field3% 135th in the league with 34 three-pointers1% 136th in the league.
Lillard's offensive efficiency is 1203 22nd in the league with a net efficiency of 67th in the league, but Lillard has been very bad in his 24th year, shooting only 50% of 172 from three-point range in 24 years, and 30% from 30 of 43 three-point range.
Lillard is 34 years old this year, and his decline in form is also an indisputable fact, Lillard's contract will not end until 27 years, earning 45.64 million in the 23-24 season, and 48.79 million, 54.29 million, and 58.63 million in the next few years.
Both Brother Alphabet and Lillard have super big contracts, so their salaries are the same, the only difference is that Brother Alphabet's contract is one year longer than Lillard's.
This season, the Bucks paid Lillard and Brother Alphabet 91.28 million in salaries, and it will continue to increase every year, with a salary cap of 1 this season3.4 billion, and the luxury tax threshold is 1At 6.5 billion, the Bucks put a lot of salary pressure on the duo.
Lillard's poor performance is even more regrettable, and the decline of the Bucks' former second-in-command Middleton, who has played 14 in 43 games this season8 points 43 rebounds and 5 assists, shooting 487% 62nd place in the league.
Middleton had 20 in the season when the Bucks won the 20-21 Bucks4 points, 6 rebounds, 5With 4 assists, his stats have dropped dramatically, and Middleton's athleticism has dropped due to injury, and his performance is not as good as before.
Last summer, the Bucks renewed Middleton's contract for 3 years and 93 million, and his starting salary this season was 28.7 million, 31 million, and 33.3 million respectively, and Middleton's performance was also sorry for his salary.
Lillard is 33 years old and Middleton is 32 years old, and their future form will continue to decline, and the performance of Antetokounmpo playing with them will only get worse every year.
The Bucks brought in Rivers in order to do well in the playoffs, the Bucks originally wanted to play well to keep Brother Alphabet, and after Rivers coached, the Bucks had a record of 3 wins and 7 losses, and the Bucks' current performance can drive Brother Alphabet crazy.
O'Neal commented on the performance of the Bucks on the show, saying that the Bucks have problems on the defensive end, they are not capable of playing, and the Bucks only have championship strength on paper, but they will be swept in the first round of the playoffs if they play like this.
O'Neal's assessment may still be light, and if the Bucks' future games are still 30% won by Rivers, the Bucks may not be able to make the playoffs.
Lillard is not playing well, Middleton's ability is declining, Beasley is a big colander on the defensive end, Lopez is moving too slowly on the inside, and now the only thing the Bucks can really reassure is Antetokounmpo.
But can he tolerate the Bucks maintaining their current performance, he will also be unhappy with the team's results, and if he feels desperate, he will also request a trade from the team.
The only consolation for the Bucks is that the contract doesn't end until 2028, and they can trade him for the same amount of leverage the Lakers traded for Davis.
The first is the big city team, the second is that the team has the strength, and the third is that the team also has the chips to trade with the Bucks, and now it seems that the Knicks will become the buyer of the alphabet brother.
From signing a super-cap salary in a row to forcing the team to change coaches in a row, Brother Alphabet is doing it step by step, while the Bucks have no choice, they can only be led by Brother Alphabet by the nose and try to meet his requirements. Take 10,000 steps back, the Bucks may not please and stay with Brother Alphabet for a long time, but if the Bucks don't do this, it will only accelerate the departure of Brother Alphabet, this is the influence of superstars, they are the real masters of the league!
