"Ernie, how was Doon's tryout?"

"Herb, to be honest, Doon's physical gifts aren't as great as the outside media boasts.

But don't worry, I will do as you instruct me to communicate with the Seattle SuperSonics management and trade back the draft picks that belong to us.

Doon's instant combat power is not bad, although he may not be able to grow into a second Ray Aron.

But it is possible to form a backcourt double gun with Michael Reed to make up for the lack of firepower after Gary Payton left.

We are still expected to make the playoffs next season, and if we can find the right pieces of the championship puzzle in the middle of the season, we may be able to achieve our desire to win the championship. ”

Ernie Grunfield was watching Doon, who was going head-to-head with Michael Reed on the court, and at the same time was on the phone with Bucks owner Herb Kerr to report on his work.

"As you should know, I only have two requirements for your current job. One is to cut taxes, and the other is to take down Doon. ”

Herb Kerr has not had time to pay attention to the affairs of the Bucks because of the poor management of the family business in recent years and is in urgent need of a large amount of capital turnover, so he only made two requests to Glenfield, the general manager of the team.

Originally, Herb Kerr's plan was to sell the Bucks, just as Jordan was running out of money with the Wizards and had nothing to do after retiring, and he was looking to buy an NBA team.

The two talked okay at the beginning, but the key is that the Milwaukee ball market is at the bottom, and it is currently a little stronger than Memphis.

Although the Bucks' record in recent years is okay, the market value is still not high, almost 150 million US dollars.

Herb Cole wanted to sell it at a premium of 200 million, but Jordan was only willing to pay 100 million for deduction and search, and he himself only paid 50 million, and the rest had to find a partner.

You know, Herb Cole spends more than 80 million on the Bucks every year, and in order to hit the championship, the luxury tax has been paid for several years.

Look at the Spurs, they are all small ball markets, in fact, the ball market is much larger than the Bucks, but the Spurs basically did not pay any luxury tax when they won the championship.

It was also because the family had no money that made Herb Cole realize that just loving basketball and throwing money at it was useless.

So, Herb Cole changed tactics.

A mid-season trade to expiring Payton's contract in order to cut taxes in the offseason, even if it is to send away All-Star Ray Allen and this year's first-round pick.

After learning that the Chinese player Doon has good potential and the prospect of a first-round draft, Herb Cole, who realized that it was not enough to throttle expenses, wanted to use the Chinese market to open source.

Originally, their family opened a chain department store. China's cheap goods and huge market are exactly what their family business needs.

It is for this reason that through the draft, taking Doon has become a top priority for Herb Cole and Grunfield.

Herb Cole is too busy to manage the team's affairs.

At this time, I heard Glenfield say that Doane's strength is not so strong, and he only needs to trade Payton before and give a first-round pick to take Doane, so he didn't ask any more.

The relationship between the Bucks and the SuperSonics is excellent, the relationship between the boss is good, and the relationship between the general manager and the coach is also good.

Bucks head coach George Carr previously worked for the SuperSonics.

And Payton has long been rumored to be leaving the SuperSonics, and the Bucks are willing to send the SuperSonics an All-Star in this situation, plus this year's first-round pick, which can be seen.

It is because of the friendly relationship that Glenfield, as the general manager of the Bucks, has no problem getting back the first-round pick from the SuperSonics.

It is worth mentioning that the Bucks' first-round pick to the SuperSonics was the 14th pick in the first round, which happened to be in the middle of the first round, and one step further was the lottery show.

Grunfield is also an old man, and he can see Doon's potential and immediate combat power.

Doon is really good in terms of actual combat, but after all, dynamic talent is dragging his feet, because of the limited talent, it is likely to be difficult to take on the responsibility in the playoffs.

Such players may have a chance to get into the Little Green House, but not enough to be selected by the lottery.

Therefore, the 14th pick in the first round can basically ensure the win of Doon.

After the tryout, Grunfield also examined Doon's character and asked Doon about his wishes to see if Doon would like to play in Milwaukee.

"Milwaukee? If your team is willing to choose me, I am willing to play for your team. Dwan thought about it for a moment, and Milwaukee wasn't out of the question.

If the Bucks can really draft him with the 14th pick in the first round as they promised, Doon can't be as addicted to food as Yi Jianlian, unreasonable and openly expressing his displeasure in playing for the Bucks.

Although playing in the Bucks, it is almost impossible to win a championship. But isn't there an example of Brother Alphabet?

It is said that Brother Alphabet's championship is not glorious, but it must also be admitted that it is not easy to win the championship by holding on to a city like Milwaukee, which is much smaller than Cleveland, and without the care of the group, the black whistle, and the league's four-year champions.

Having said that, today's Bucks are also a good place for Doon.

The main thing is that the configuration of the Bucks is okay, although it can't win the championship, but it's still very simple to make the playoffs in the East.

Point guard alien Cassel, a player of the same type as Billups, is good at back play, can connect teams, comb offense, and is also a big heart player.

When he was a rookie, he won two championships with Olajuwon, became the core of the team, and led the Bucks and Timberwolves to the division finals respectively, helping the Clippers to tie seven in the Western Conference semifinals with the peak Suns.

At the end of his career, he can also help the Celtics triumvirate win the championship.

Having such a good point guard teammate early in his career naturally helped Doon a lot.

Then there's the quarterback Michael Reed, the golden left-hander, who has Ray Allen's off-ball runs and three-point shots, as well as the big dog Robinson's breakout and mid-range.

It may not be good for him to be a big boss and lead the team to achieve results, but if he is a deputy, it will be too suitable.

No one would dislike an off-ball player like Reid who doesn't eat the ball, can open up space, and also has the ability to carry the ball.

It can be said that Reed is a weakened version of Klay Thompson.

Once Doon joins the Bucks, he will be able to form a trio of musketeers with Kassel and Reed.

It's a pity that the jump shooting team struggled to win the championship.

James has just entered the league and does not have the strength to impact the Finals, plus he is also in the East.

So, Doon won't be as lucky as the Mavericks and Warriors' players to lead the jumpers to a championship.

However, taking a step back, relying on the identity of a Chinese player, he was trained as a prince in the Bucks.

Become a ball tyrant to take more penalty shots, suck a little more blood of Cassel and Reed, and then eat more Eastern Conference dividends, Doon may be able to enter the All-Star Game as an Eastern All-Star starting guard or forward in his rookie season.

An all-star start, after all, is it an achievement, right?

Once the new template is loaded, it may be possible for Doon to evolve into Kobe or Durant.

Of course, even if you evolve into Pierce, as long as there is progress, that's a good thing.

Anyway, Doon has already met Anthony and Wade, two good brothers, and in order to mix NBA championship achievements, it will not be impossible in a few years.

As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Being a junior brother in the Pistons is better than being the boss in the Bucks!
