Compared to the Bucks, the Lakers’ exposure is too high, and the other benefits after winning the championship are much higher
.
With James and Davis, their playing environment is more comfortable than the Bucks.
If Leonard stays, the Bucks have little chance.
Leonard has not yet exerted his full strength this season. One is that the injury should not have fully healed, and after the baptism of this season.
He will focus on strengthening his shortcomings (reading defense, timing and quality of the ball when he is flanked, mobilizing teammates, etc., these already have a certain strength and have become stronger in this season’s experience), with his
The ability to learn will be even stronger next season.
As for Antetokounmpo, the shortcomings that need to be strengthened include: three-point and two-point shooting, the timing and quality of the ball when being flanked, mobilizing teammates, and the strength of the bottom plate. Many of his shortcomings are too short-term.
It is more difficult to improve all the internal thoughts.
We must know that the Raptors’ Siakam, Anunoby, Leonard and even Van Vleet’s ability to improve next season are relatively predictable, and the team will try their best to strengthen it.
The salary and age structure of the Raptors, when seeking three consecutive championships, those veterans are likely to choose to cut their salaries to fight.
The Bucks pay a super high salary (even if they keep these three, they will lose George Hill and Mirotic, and their strength will drop a lot) but they don’t match the corresponding income expectations, but they have to face the talent of Antetokounmpo
The temptation of extraordinary talents, so it is actually difficult to choose.
Because of this, these three people all understand, so they demand high salaries. If the team keeps all the high salaries, it means that the team will work hard.
The scruples, then it means that the team itself does not have much expectation of winning the championship, and cannot pay too high a salary, so it is better to leave, and these factors in turn put more pressure on the Bucks.
