According to ESPN reporter Shams, the Milwaukee Bucks will use extended clauses to cut 75 superstar Damian Lillard and extend his remaining $113 million in exchange for Miles Turner.
The Bucks retained most of the players this offseason, except center Daluo. The Bucks found Miles Turner to replace Dalow and cut Lillard to make room. The Bucks' operation is equivalent to paying about $50 million per year (Turner 107 million in 4 years, Lillard 110 million in 5 years) before introducing Turner. Daluo's salary last season was 25 million.
As a comparison, Turner averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks last season, shooting percentage of 48.1% and three-point shooting percentage of 39.6%. Daluo averaged 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game last season, shooting percentage of 50.9% and three-point shooting percentage of 37.3%.
