Shams: The Bucks get & to cut Lillard and sign Turner without asking the letters in advance
Today, famous reporter Shams participated in ESPN's "First Take" program and talked about letters.
Speaking of whether letters should leave the Bucks, he said: "So, to answer that question - has he been consulted? Has he been included in the decision-making process? I learned that letters were not consulted before the team made those crazy operations. And, the same is true for things like cutting out Lillard's $113 million contract and signing Miles Turner. Was he told in advance that the deal was about to happen? He was indeed told that the deal was going to go. But the management of the team, general manager John Horst, has shown in the past three, four, five years that he would make a bold move regardless of whether the letter would like it or not."
"Obviously, he knew that letters wanted the team to be the championship team. So, when he went to bring in When Damian Lillard was not consulted in advance, he made a deal directly. The same was true for signing Miles Turner. However, it was determined whether such an operation was good enough or the letter. So, we have to see if he thinks the team is good enough. "
" As for why it's difficult for him to make the decision to stay or leave the team-he has been playing for 12 years and has accumulated deep feelings. He has brought a championship to the city, which I think is of great significance to him. So, this is essentially a trade-off between the current situation of the team and the ending of his personal ideal fairy tale. The final decision is in his hands, and he has not yet made a decision."
