So, what do the Bucks do? Cut him? Let him sit out then show up when the season starts, and play like Harden did twice now? That would tear the guts out of the Bucks, and the fan base. I think it will start out behind the scenes this off season. Him still wanting to go to Miami. Trade him there or he plays out next season, and leaves them holding the bag. That still leaves Miami in a position where they hold all the cards. They can drive a hard bargain with the Bucks, and they're almost helpless to stop it. Let's face it. Lillard never wanted to come to Milwaukee, and he didn't spend any off time in town. He was red eyeing it out to Portland when he could. It's either Miami or back home in his own home, in Portland. There's another thing he could do to harpoon the Bucks if they don't do what he wants. He could hold out, then show up and play half effort this coming season, then exercise his player option for one more year of the Bucks paying him to tank everything because he's unhappy. Then, walk away into retirement, and the Bucks are left with squat for two years and beyond. It's the NBA. The players pretty much do anything they want, and the league takes a back seat to it.</blockquote>
