Rivers just signed a multi-year mega contract with the Bucks. For Bucks fans and Eastern Conference rivals, they don't care about what happens in a few years, and they are evaluating the championship competitiveness of the Bucks this year and the changes in Rivers' leadership!
It is said that the competitors in the east are relieved, after all, the coach has not led the team to win the championship in the past few years, but has been a classic case of leading many times and then being reversed! It seems that the luck of leading the team to win the championship is always a little worse.
So, the question arises: Doesn't the Bucks' management know about Rivers' past, why did they send a big $40 million contract, and did they resign from the current head coach who is leading the team well?
There is really a bit of a doorway in this, and I will say three points:
First of all, for the management of the Bucks, it is very important to retain the team's box office appeal and carry the letter brother! It is not easy to keep a star in the East! If you leave the letter, the team will have a box office, a market, and make money! This is the most important thing for the management of the NBA team. The NBA league is essentially a business league, and making money is important!
Then, in order to keep the letters, you need to find a head coach who can hold the letters in the locker room! This coach must have qualifications, experience, and status, so the head coach who is idle at home is Reeves!
Secondly, there are not many coaches to choose from in the market. At this stage, the NBA is actually facing a serious problem of aging players and coaches. The coach who is still idle in the market and can lead a strong team is basically Reeves!
No matter how many times Reaves has been reversed in the past, it will be on the big stage of the playoffs. It's better than the feeling of the assistant coach straightening up, and the heart is more steady!
Finally, the Bucks' locker room unity and stability have gone terribly wrong at the moment. In the NBA, the conflict between the head coach and the core players has always been a prominent contradiction! To balance this relationship requires some wisdom from both the head coach and the big stars. But obviously the Bucks didn't handle it well, so they had to change coaches!
