NBA exploded overnight! Bucks cut Lillard, SGA s first in history, Lakers target was intercepted again

The NBA trading market ushered in its second day. Compared with the relatively dull day on the first day, the Bucks directly gave everyone a hit card, and the team officially cut off core player Lillard. In addition, Thunder and SGA completed early renewal. Let's start the next day's review together!

4, 285 million, SGA became the first in history

Speaking of the biggest winner last season, it must be SGA. He first performed outstandingly in the regular season and won his first MVP trophy in his career. Entering the playoffs, the Thunder, led by him, and finally won the first championship trophy in team history, while SGA won the FMVP honor without any suspense. Faced with such a young and powerful player, the Thunder management will naturally try their best to complete the early renewal with him.

According to famous reporter Shams, SGA has reached an agreement with the Thunder on a contract extension, and he will receive a four-year, $285 million super maximum salary contract, which also means that he surpasses Tatum and officially becomes the highest annual salary player in the NBA history.

The annual salary distribution of the new contract is as follows:

2027-28 season: 63.52 million

2028-29 season: 68.6 million

2029-30 season: 73.68 million

2030-31 season: 78.77 million

The Bucks cut Lillard

Shams report shows that the team officially chose to cut Lillard after careful consideration. Later, the payment will be made with a special case of deferred payment, and the remaining $113 million in installments (the next five seasons) will be paid. After becoming a member of the Bucks, Lillard's personal decline was very obvious. His combination with Antetokounmpo did not achieve satisfactory cooperation and results. He has been the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years, and Lillard's continuous injury problems and poor performance on the defensive end have eventually become the key factor for the Bucks to resolutely cut him.

Lillard, who has become a free agent, is looking for his next home. According to the latest odds given by the website, joining the Heat and returning to the Trail Blazers have become Lillard's best choice. The Bucks' explosive operation was to sign the Pacers' forward player Miles Turner. According to Shams, the Bucks provided Turner with a 4-year, 107 million contract with player options and a 15% trade margin. Shams said: Turner has played for the longest time in the Pacers, and has reached 10 seasons. He also stated in public many times that he would not leave the team. But with the defeat in the championship and Burton's serious injury, the management has been worried about the future, and the financial pressure from paying luxury taxes has eventually led to the deal.

Turner is currently 29 years old, which is at the peak of his career. He can average 14.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists per game, and has 2.2 blocks on the defensive end. An interesting thing is that Antetokounmpo knew Turner would become a member of the team, but he never expected the Bucks to choose to cut Lillard directly.

In addition to these two heavy moves, the Bucks also made some minor repairs to the lineup. Gary Harris signed a two-year contract with the Bucks; the team sent Connaughton + two second rounds to the Hornets and got Misic; the Bucks also renewed their contract with insider Himes.

The Lakers were intercepted again, and they finished the biggest news on the second day. Let's take a look at the minor repairs of other teams. According to Stein, Nance will return to the Cavaliers. Last season, he was affected by injuries and played in only 24 games, averaging 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.

It is worth mentioning that there was originally a place for Nans Jr. on the Lakers' signing list. Two days have passed, and the Lakers have only signed a player. Although major media are exaggerating that the Lakers are chasing Aiton, who has become a free agent. But judging from Pelinka's strength, the Lakers are probably the team with the most interested players but nothing has been won throughout the offseason.

other strong teams in the league: News from the Heat, Dunro became a member of the Pistons with a three-year contract of 48 million. The Heat currently has a lot of salary space and can fully provide Lillard with a good contract.

The Nuggets' operations in the past two days can be said to be unstoppable. They have been working hard to strengthen the lineup, and the team signed two more consecutively on the second day. First, Saric and Valan exchanged, giving Jokic a substitute with good strength; then the team signed a one-year contract with Hardaway Jr. to strengthen its outside strength.

The Clippers cut Eubanks, who will become a member of the King after the clarification period.

Several other players signed pretty good contracts:

Schroeder chose to be a member of the King, and he got a three-year, 45 million contract. As the most famous mercenary in the league in recent years, Schroeder has maintained a good personal performance despite constantly changing teams, and has averaged 13.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game last season.

Raptors and Pearl completed an early contract renewal and he received a four-year, 104 million contract.
