“You’ll see that it’s going to kill some of the smaller market teams that go for it,” another front office source told Heavy.
“Milwaukee got a championship, but then it started costing them so much money that they had to make moves to cut back. The biggest reason to trade Khris Middleton was that it got them off some money.
奪冠英雄，也難保。
To be able to sign Myles Turner, they had to do the thing with (Dame) Lillard (waive and stretch his remaining money over five years).
為了補強禁區，Lillard 也得捨。
They had to do that to stay under that apron.

回到，"It's just because of the players" - KG explains why Doc's current coaching struggles aren't his fault。這些話，讓 J. Embiid 和 J. Harden 躺著也中槍。同樣的，防守不力的 Lillard 也是。
"When I watch him struggle in today's NBA, I really truly think that it's just because of the players," said Garnett. "Every player can't play for him. Every player doesn't fit his style. Doc really is a grody guy who wants to really defend you for 48 minutes and grind you into the ground, and then we can score the ball, cool. He's a real no-nonsense nose on the ball kind of guy, and I love that kind of coach."
反正，Giannis Antetokounmpo 也還沒有離隊，Doc Rivers 也在球隊操作下，拿到防守悍將 Myles Turner。只要這 2 名禁區球員能正常運作，在東區是相當有冠軍相的。
控衛方面的人手（Cole Anthony、Kevin Porter、Ryan Rollins），雖是公鹿的最大漏洞，但強大的防守仍能為他們帶來很多勝場數。
