The most profitable player in the league! He was bought out because his contract was too big, and his annual salary next season was 70 million, and he was a coach assistant

August 11, I have been thinking about whether the new version of the labor-management agreement is really beneficial to the team? Indeed, the new version of the labor-capital agreement has reduced the super luxury lineups, but the new impact is that the players cannot get long-term large contracts, and many blue-collar players can only accept contracts of the mini middle class or even lower. Moreover, some teams choose to buy out players because they cannot afford to trade.

The same is true for Bill, Ayton and Lillard. Ayton will have a contract of 30 million next season, and the Trail Blazers cannot trade because Ayton is not worth so much in the current salary environment. The Trail Blazers also want to train young centers, Yang Hansen and Klingen, so they chose to buy out Ayton, which led the Lakers to get a bargain. Although Ayton is not worth 30 million, 16 million in two years is too worth it. The Lakers have become the beneficiary of this buyout.

The beneficiary of Bill's buyout is the Clippers. Originally, Bill's annual salary next season was more than 50 million, but because he couldn't trade, the Suns chose to postpone buying out him. In this case, the Clippers won him, 12 million in two years, which is too cheap. Although Bills are not worth 50 million, 5 million is more than enough. He can win a strong team like the Clippers in the new season, and he is a true winner in life.

When it comes to the real winner in life, I think it is Lillard. These buyouts have indeed achieved their goals, but they are far behind Lillard. In the playoffs last season, Lillard suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon. Without asking Antetokounmpo for advice, in order to keep the team's salary flexible, they chose to delay the buyout of Lillard. He had two years and 113 million yuan contracts, and the Bucks chose to pay in five years in installments.

After Lillard was bought out, many teams with the ability to compete for the championship were interested in him, such as the Mavericks, Lakers, Celtics and Rockets. Except for the Celtics, these teams have the ability to compete for the championship next season. The Celtics are Eastern Conference giants. Even if they are dormant next season, they will rise to compete for the championship in the future. These teams seem to have the ability to compete for the championship, which is very tempting for many veterans.

But for Lillard, the most tempting thing for him was to go home. From beginning to end, he never thought about leaving the Trail Blazers. When he forced the palace to leave the team, the Trail Blazers did not use the Nanhua signing to get the star, but used him to sign point guard Henderson. This is very clear. If Lillard does not leave, the Trail Blazers will also trade him. But the situation is different now. Lillard has set his status and is willing to rebuild with the team, and his salary has also been reduced.

Lillard returns to the Trail Blazers with a three-year contract of 42 million, with an annual salary of 14.1 million next season. With his remaining two-year contract with the Bucks, his total salary next season is close to 70 million. What does this mean? The current league has the highest salary. Lillard himself probably didn't expect this to be the result. The annual salary was not small, but now it has become the highest salary in the league, and it is still a sloppy profit, because he is likely to be unable to make a comeback in the new season.

However, the team's head coach Billups did not want Lillad to make money by lying on his back. Since you can't play, I will arrange a new job for you. Previously, the Trail Blazers' assistant coach Billups said in an interview: We will not let Lillad take money while lying on his back in the new season. I will make Lillad the most expensive assistant coach in history and make sure he works hard every day. Lillad is also very satisfied with such a role. In an interview, he talked about what help it will bring to the team if he cannot come back next season.

He said: I think even if I can't play, I want to contribute to the team and be with the team all the time. You know, players like me who have been in the league for a long time have accumulated a lot of experience in the training field and have played an important role in the league. There are always a lot of things to share with everyone. In the NBA, you need time to learn. We are now a young team and I need to share.

Lillard returns to the Trail Blazers this time, and his purpose is to live a life here. He doesn't want to go to other teams anymore. Although he has been drafted for 12 years, Lillard is already 35 years old. He entered the league in an older draft. I guess he can't play in the league for long. Lillard is not a super top salary. As a veteran, the Trail Blazers probably won't choose to send him away. After all, he has too many fans here.

Although it is likely that he will not be able to win the championship in his career, he has made up his past grudges with his old club. Lillard is expected to be recognized by the management and the team. After retiring, he can enjoy the honor of retirement of the jersey. His total career income reached 450 million, which is also very successful. You should know that James made 100 million less than him during the same period, but Lillard is probably unable to play James for so long. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current pioneers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
