For these five rookies, Li Tuanjie is naturally very satisfied, after all, they are all self-selected, and in the future, these stinky tomatoes and rotten bird eggs in the eyes of others will become the mainstay of the Bucks lineup!

Xia Longwen now basically handed over the construction of the Bucks' roster to Li Tuanjie, the original Bucks general manager, basketball affairs president and other executives, as soon as the season ended, they were immediately fired by Xia Longwen......

Xia Longwen is not a philanthropist, and there is no need to raise a bunch of gringos who can't play a big role at all with an annual salary of one million dollars......

Stotts, the head coach, originally had a salary of only $1 million, and he was thinking that he had won the head coach of the year, and it happened that his contract had expired, so how could the Bucks boss have to give a price of about 3 million to renew his contract......

But Xia Longwen's attitude is to give one million dollars a year, and there is not a dime more......

In this case, Stotts also tried to contact other players, but the final result was very unsatisfactory, in the eyes of everyone, Stotts and the Cavaliers' bread coach are completely the kind of nanny type of coaches, and their coaching ability is not outstanding, maybe it's okay to be an assistant coach......

So Stotts didn't find a home, and finally pinched his nose and recognized the price code given by Xia Longwen......

Xia Longwen actually doesn't want to use Stotts at all, he has a very thorough view of the current situation of the Bucks, the real core of the Bucks is Li Tuanjie, almost all the tactical arrangements on the court are temporarily arranged by Li Tuanjie himself, it doesn't matter if there is a head coach or not......

Businessmen chase profit maximization, Xia Longwen bought the buck not for fun, but to make money!

There are only two ways to make money, open source and throttling, fire Stotts, and find a puppet head coach with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars, which can save hundreds of thousands of dollars, why not?

But considering that Stotts had a good relationship with Li Tuanjie after all, Xia Longwen did not make a ruthless move......

……

After Lee united with all the rights to control the roster construction of the Bucks, he also began to think about it!

At present, the players in the Bucks who can get the eyes of Li United are Reed, Rajon Rondo, Millsap, Tony Allen, Gazuric, Wilson Chandler, Nick Young, Marc Gasol, Ramon Sessions, Charlie Bell and domestic guard Sun Yue......

Counting Li Tuanjie, there are a total of eleven players, which means that there are still four spots left in the Bucks' 15-man roster......

As for the Bucks' previous bench lineup, most of them did not renew their contracts this season, and those players who have contracts, if the contract is small, Xia Longwen directly bought it out with the salary of the general manager and some other executives......

The contract is slightly higher, such as Skiner, the former chief replacement of Li Tuanjie, with a salary of five million US dollars, and Li Tuanjie plans to trade it on the free market to see, if there is a next home, it is naturally good, if not, it can also be packaged......

Skiner's contract, which expires at the end of next season, still has trade value to adjust salary space for teams that are rebuilding......

According to Lee's vision, the starting lineup of the Bucks next season should be Marc Gasol, Lee Unity, Millsap, Mike Reed, and Rondo!

In the center forward position, it should be enough to have Gazuric to play as a substitute, after all, Gazuric's strength is okay......

In the power forward position, Li Tuanjie has not yet found a suitable substitute, but there are still four spots in the Bucks roster, and Li Tuanjie can find it after all......

For his substitute, Li Tuanjie doesn't have any big requirements, that is, either he has outstanding scoring ability and can help the team steal points when Li Tuanjie is not there, or he has outstanding defensive ability and can help the team keep the point difference!

As for the bench with good offense and defense, Li Tuanjie didn't dare to think that the Bucks would get so many chips to exchange him for a backup power forward with good offense and defense......

After a whole season of tempering, Millsap is now performing very well at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, although he is shorter, but it is more than enough to serve as Li Tuanjie's substitute power forward......

At the small forward position, Millsap is currently playing as the starting small forward, with Wilson Chandler on the bench, as well as Tony Allen and Nick Young......

In the quarterback position, there are a lot of substitutes, Charlie Bell, Nick Young, Tony Allen, and Sun Yue can all play as substitutes.

The point guard is also enough, and Ramon Sessions is enough to carry the burden when Rondo is off!

Such a lineup looks pretty good, but there are also a lot of problems, that is, the players are too young!

On the court, it is sometimes a good thing for players to be young, representing vitality, momentum and passion, but sometimes it represents immaturity and easy to make mistakes, so Li Tuanjie must take advantage of the introduction of about two veterans to bring newcomers, anyway, now the Bucks' salary space is huge!

The Kings' Artest is the object of Li Tuanjie's very much, and the Kings now want to rebuild and don't want to continue to eat Artest's contract, this is the Bucks' chance!

The Bucks also tried to trade with the Kings, but they wanted too much leverage, and the Bucks would need to pay Millsap plus Charlie Bell and next year's first-round pick!

For such a bargaining chip, Li Tuanjie naturally can't accept it, as long as any transaction involves the Bucks' draft picks, then Li Tuanjie will definitely reject it!

The Bucks' draft picks are different from those of other teams, and a draft pick can be directly converted into an All-Star level player in the hands of Li Tuanjie!

No matter what kind of draft pick it is, even if it is a second-round pick, Li Tuanjie can choose a center like Marc Gasol at the level of an All-Star starter!

Artest is really good, good offense and defense, strong body even to defend James will not suffer, if he is there, with the Bucks a group of rookie small forwards, it can definitely help newcomers grow quickly.

But Li Tuanjie is absolutely reluctant to exchange Millsap and the two All-Stars drafted and a good substitute Charlie Bell!

Besides, now that Li Tuanjie wants to train Millsap to be his chief replacement, it is naturally even more impossible to agree to this condition!

In the end, Li Tuanjie made a final offer to the king, Tony Allen plus Charlie Bell and Skiner, three for one, love for or not! 10
