Crazy NBA trades on July 2: Lillard is cut, Bucks sign Turner, Nuggets continue to strengthen, Schroeder joins the Kings

On July 2, the NBA transfer trading market continued to be popular. Let’s take a look at what operations each team has!

Lillard was laid off

First: The Bucks cut Lillard with extended terms, and the latter's remaining $113 million salary will be paid on a deferred basis! Lillard suffered a major injury from a ruptured Achilles tendon this season and is expected to recover from 8-10 months. The Bucks' operations seem to have no human touch, but they obtained salary space and signed Miles Turner with a four-year, $107 million contract! Turner won the Eastern Conference championship with the Pacers this year and participated in the finals. Unfortunately, he lost 3-4 and missed the championship. He averaged 13.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in the playoffs. He is a big inside man who can both inside and outside and take into account defense. He looks forward to his chemistry with Antetokounmpo.

Lillard, even if he is cut, his salary will not have any impact, and he can join any team in the future. Lillard is a player who mainly focuses on shooting. If he can get rid of the impact of injuries and recover his health, I believe Lillard is still a hot topic in the transfer market. Family and championship competition are the questions Lillard is thinking about.

Valan joined the Nuggets

Second: The Nuggets traded with Porter Jr. Yesterday, they signed Brown back. Now they continue to take action, send Sharic away, and exchanged the Kings for the inside player Valanciunas. Valan is experienced and not afraid of confrontation. Last season, he averaged 16.9 minutes per game with the Kings, and averaged 8.7 points and 7 rebounds per game. His joining is definitely a good thing for the Nuggets to strengthen the inside line, and more importantly, Jokic has a qualified substitute.

Hardaway Jr. joins the Nuggets with a minimum salary in the Nuggets

In addition to strengthening the forward and inside line, the Nuggets also signed a one-year veteran contract with Hardaway Jr. Hardaway Jr. averaged 11 points and 2.4 rebounds per game this season. His experience and shooting are good things for the Nuggets' lineup depth. The Nuggets are currently trying to handle Najib's contract to obtain salary space and introduce a substitute defender.

Schroeder joined the Kings

third: The Kings only ranked 9th in the regular season this year, and got the opportunity to compete in the playoffs, but failed to enter the first eight playoffs. Now they have brought in Schroder and reached a three-year, $45 million contract. Schroeder represented three teams last season, averaging 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game at the Pistons. Joining the Kings is also the 10th team in Schroder's career, with the Hawks, Thunder, Lakers, Celtics, Rockets, Raptors, Nets, Warriors and Pistons.
