Lillard goes to the Bucks and joins forces with Giannis?! Literal explosion

Lillard went to the Milwaukee Bucks and partnered with Giannis.

- It exploded like Lillard's 10-meter three-pointer/Giannis' half-court stride.

The Bucks get Lillard.

The Suns get Nukic, Grayson Allen, Keane Johnson, Little Late.

The Blazers get Holloday, Ayton, Kamara, Bucks 2029 first-round picks, Bucks picks swapped.

The Blazers got Ayton: the best young player on the market right now.

Although he has had ups and downs in the playoffs, after all, he has averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds in 30 minutes per game in the past two years, after all, he is a real seven-foot giant, after all, he is only 25 years old.

Regular season, enough.

For Ayton, the situation is not bad: the Suns have Durant, Booker and Beal, and what they need is a blue-collar worker; He is a 25-year-old top center, playing as a four-headed man, working hard to fight hand-to-hand, and life is too sad.

By Portland, he could probably become a rebuilding nucleus?

Just one thing:

Portland has a center complex, but they've also been through Wharton, Bowy and Auden... More recently, Nukic also experienced an eight-game season three years ago.

Let's wish Ayton health in Portland...

Suns center changed from Ayton to Nukic, relegated at first glance: As mentioned above, Nukic was so troubled by the movement after the big injury three years ago that the Blazers' daily routine was: Lillard used Nukic as a long-range shot from battery, grabbed Nukic's movement on the opposite side, and faced Lillard's mid-goal.

But if you think about it, it's fine.

After Ayton lost the 2021 Finals, the playoffs often had ups and downs. After all, it is not easy to have a good mood for a champion to be a blue-collar worker; However, in the 2023-24 season, the Suns have the three guns of Durant + Booker + Beal, and can only grievance the center as a blue-collar one.

Nukic is less talented than Ayton; But as a blue-collar worker, Nukic is much more suited than Ayton. Ayton is somewhat unable to put down his body, and that's what Nukic did when he entered the industry.

Nukic is one of the best cover + handover walls in the league, assisted by Lillard and CJ who work hard. Neither Booker nor Bill had ever encountered such a fine wall of flesh.

The last time Durant encountered such a thick battery, I am afraid that he can trace it back to Adams when he was with the Thunder?

And, the Bucks sent Aaron to the Sun. Although Allen's playing style is not clean, he has really picked the No. 2 position in the past two seasons, and his career has been 40% three-point shooting + stalker defense. The lack of wing thickness from the sun has made up for it to some extent.

That is, the sun is equivalent to having three plates of good lamb, taking out an expensive but not very good calf tenderloin Ayton for a hot pot, and replacing it with solid meatballs Nukich and Curd Zhu Allen.

Beal + Booker + Allen + Durant + Nukic.

Well, this makes for a nutritionally balanced stew!

Another factor:

Ayton is 25 years old.

Nukic is 29 years old.

Durant is 34 years old.

The Suns' move shows some sincerity: not waiting for the future, in the window period of Durant's contract - his contract ends in 2026 - all bet.

Although Durant and Nukic still have a bit of a spat, it is estimated that the team will have to nag...

Of course, the Suns have to deal with Nukic's movement a little slowly, but Vogel has had the experience of using Hibbert well to bring Dwight Howard back before. So, look again.

An interesting detail: The Suns were destroyed by Jokic last season.

And Nukic and Jokic know each other very well: the big brother back then.

Speaking of the window period to gamble on stud, two weeks ago, Giannis said:

"I'm a Milwaukee Bucks, but the most important thing is that I'm a winner... If there's a better chance of winning the title, I'll take it. ”

The weight of these words is immediately clear:

He could renew his contract, but the Bucks had to be sincere enough.

So the Bucks traded Lillard.

It's a shame to lose Holloday, who just played his All-Star season and is one of the best defenders in the league right now, but he hasn't been doing well on the offensive end of the playoffs for the past three years. And there's no escaping it: Middleton is getting older, and the team has to have someone to back up the attack.

Holladay's next two years, $37 million and $39 million salary, 2024-25 player options: will you stay or not?

Bucks: We don't have to think about this – just switch to Lillard!!

In 2018, Lillard's only regular season break, the Playoffs led the Blazers to the Pelicans' Holloday (and thick eyebrows behind him) and was beaten 4-0.

Who would have thought then that their fates would be so intertwined next time.

Of course, Holloday probably won't stay at the Blazers for long. He's also 33 years old, and the Blazers need to rebuild.

The Raptors (the current ball holding task is all up to Schroder, there are a bit more people on the wings), the Knicks, Pelicans and Bulls (who have had big balls and are all suitable for Holloday), the Celtics (who just sent Smart away) and the Heat, can all use Holloday. After all, as mentioned above, Holloday is just an unreliable playoff offensive firepower, but he was still an All-Star last season.

——And, look at the excitement and say a big word:

If Holloday went to the Lakers, stood behind him with a thick eyebrow, and then went to face the old owners Bucks and Lillard, how fun it would be...

Back to the bucks.

It's amazing not just Lillard who went to the Bucks, but Lillard + Giannis, this horror combination.

Lillard's ability to score on the ball is amazing, and he returned with just 71 points last season, the sixth most in a single season of 50+ history. Looking over records such as 15 points in a single quarter, 18 points in a single quarter, and 20 points in a single quarter, the top three in the current roster are him, Curry and Harden in combination - but this is not the scary thing.

I've always daydreamed that Curry's most suitable partner is Jokic - Curry's unparalleled no-ball threat in history, Jokic's unparalleled high position.

Similar logic:

Lillard's signature skill is his long-range three-point possession: the number of 9 three-pointers in a single game in NBA history, he is second, Curry is first. It is the strongest ultra-long-range three-point shooter outside of Curry in history - just ask George about this.

Since 2009, Lillard has been the third NBA to shoot three-pointers — behind Curry and Harden.

Giannis was the second NBA player in the same period — behind LeBron.

The wildest ultra-long shooter besides Curry + the fiercest monster in the current basket.

The ultimate periphery + the ultimate interior is combined.

Think from your opponent's point of view:

Which one to defend against when Giannis takes off in strides and Lillard bypasses cover and looks up at the basket from 8 meters away?

Of course, without Holladay and Allen, the Bucks' thickness and defense will weaken.

For example, now, Lillard + Giannis + Lopez + Middleton, there is one position left? Who started in 3D by Malik Beasley, Connaughton and Beauchamp? Will the height of the backfield be worse? Will the arc top defense regress from before?

But, after all, this is Lillard + Giannis.

The ultimate unlimited range outside of Curry. The only basketball monster seen in modern times. Lillard and Giannis are probably the best partners they can meet each other - and they are actually together.

At least Giannis should be satisfied, and the next contract should be stable — and perhaps that's all that matters to the Bucks.

The most boring at the moment is Pat Riley. His old man has always been decisive and has never hesitated to exchange new people for veterans, as evidenced by the change of sharks in the summer of 2004.

If Riley had been willing to give up, he would have changed to Lillard - now it is the Miami Heat led by Jimmy + Lillard, the Eastern Conference favorites.

Here and now: Heat didn't get Lillard, but the Bucks got — and Heat had another terrifying opponent out of thin air. No, Jimmy had just spoken out about the Bucks.

I can imagine that next season, if the game is not played well, Spall will look at the players with a heavy face:

"The old man is talking about Lillard again, saying that in order to bear a few of you, he has not changed to Lillard, you should think about what you should do!!"

At last......

In 1970, Oscar Robertson, who had been a legendary guard for ten years but did not have a championship, went to the Milwaukee Bucks and formed a terrifying combination with Skyhook to win the 1971 championship.

In 1995, the first glider in team history who dedicated his life to the Blazers but did not have a championship went to Houston and formed a terrifying internal and external combination with Big Dream, winning the 1995 championship.

Lillard + Giannis is the new big dream + glider, Skyhook + Bucks?

I don't know.

But you also saw that the history of the Blazers and Bucks did have a legend that "one man and one city did not win the championship for many years, so he came to a new team and did whatever it took to win the championship, and finally won the championship".
