After returning from Denver, Yu Fei's contract negotiations with the Bucks Team entered the final stage.
Although the Bucks Team was reluctant to sign such a short contract with Yu Fei, they also dared not risk completely falling out with Yu Fei's camp by dragging the renewal into the off-season.
Before the trade deadline arrived, Yu Fei and the Bucks Team reached an agreement, signing a 3-year, $35 million extension contract, with the third year being a player option.
The outside world lamented continuously.
Many media outlets believed this would open a new chapter in NBA history, but it might not be the chapter that fans wished to see.
Player GM, Bucks President, owner… all sorts of nicknames that transcended the player himself were attached to Yu Fei's head.
This angered Yu Fei's camp greatly, as they believed this outcome was caused by the Bucks management.
