For these five rookies, Li Tuanjie is naturally very satisfied. After all, they are all selected by themselves. In the future, these rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs in the eyes of others will become the mainstay of the Bucks lineup!

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

Xia Longwen is not a philanthropist, so there is absolutely no need to raise a bunch of foreigners with an annual salary of one million dollars. If he has that money, it would be more cost-effective to go back to China and build many Hope Primary Schools...

Stotts, the head coach, originally had a salary of only one million dollars. He thought that he had already won the head coach of the year, but his contract also expired, so the Bucks boss had to give him three million dollars. Around the price tag to renew your contract...

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

Under such circumstances, 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 belonged to that kind of player. A nanny-type coach whose coaching ability is not outstanding, maybe it's okay to be an assistant coach...

That's why Stotts didn't find another buyer, so he pinched his nose and accepted the price given by Xia Longwen...

In fact, Xia Longwen didn't want to use Stotts at all. He had a thorough understanding of the current situation of the Bucks. The real core of the Bucks was Li Tuanjie. Almost all the tactical arrangements on the field were temporarily arranged by Li Tuanjie himself. The coach doesn't care at all...

Businessmen pursue maximization of profits, Xia Longwen bought the Bucks not just for fun, but to make money!

There are only two ways to make money, increase income and reduce expenditure. If Stotts is fired, it is still easy to find a puppet head coach with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars. This can save hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why not?

However, considering that Stotts has a good relationship with Li Tuanjie after all, Xia Longwen didn't do anything cruel...

...

After Li united and took full control of the Bucks' lineup construction, he also began to think about it!

At present, the players in the Bucks who can catch the eyes of Li Tuan are Boss Reid, Rajon Rondo, Millsap, Tony Allen, Gadzuric, Wilson Chandler, Nick Young, Mark Gasol, Ramon Sessions, Charlie Bell and domestic guard Sun Yue...

Including Li Tuan has a total of eleven players, which means that there are still four places left in the Bucks' 15-man roster...

As for the Bucks' previous bench lineup, most of them have not renewed their contracts this season. Those players who have contracts, if the contracts are small, Xia Longwen directly bought them out with the salaries of the general manager and some other executives...

Those with a slightly higher contract, such as Li Tuanjie’s former chief substitute, Skiner, had a salary of five million US dollars. Li Tuanjie plans to trade in the free market. Packing is also possible...

Skeener's contract expires after the end of next season, but it is actually worth trading, and can adjust the salary space for those teams in the rebuilding period...

According to Li Tuanjie's vision, the Bucks' starting lineup next season should be Marc Gasol, Li Tuanjie, Millsap, Mike Reid, and Rondo!

At the center position, it should be enough to have Gadzuric as a substitute. After all, Gadzuric's strength is not bad...

At the power forward position, Li Tuanjie has not yet found a suitable substitute, but the Bucks still have four places on the roster, and Li Tuanjie can find it anyway...

For his substitute, Li Tuanjie doesn't have any big requirements, that is, he either has outstanding scoring ability and can help the team grab points when Li Tuanjie is not on the court, or has outstanding defensive ability and can help the team hold points. Difference!

As for a substitute with excellent offense and defense, Li Tuanjie didn't dare to think about it. How could the Bucks get so many chips to exchange him for a substitute power forward with excellent offense and defense...

Speaking of it, Millsap is actually Li Tuanjie's favorite substitute. After a whole season of tempering, Millsap is now performing very well on both offense and defense. Although he is a bit shorter, he acts as Li Tuanjie's backup power forward But it is more than enough...

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

As for the shooting guard position, there are quite a few substitutes. Charlie Bell, Nick Young, Tony Allen, and Sun Yue are all able to play as substitutes.

The point guard is also enough, and Ramon Sessions is enough to bear the burden of Rondo when he is off the court!

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

On the court, sometimes it is a good thing for players to be young, which represents vitality, drive and passion, but sometimes it represents immaturity and is prone to make mistakes. Therefore, Li Tuanjie must take advantage of the introduction of two or so veterans to bring Bring newcomers, anyway, the Bucks now have a lot of salary space!

Artest of the Kings is Li Tuanjie's favorite object. The Kings now want to rebuild and don't want to continue to accept Artest's contract. This is the opportunity for the Bucks!

The Bucks also tried to make a deal with the Kings, but they wanted too much chips, and the Bucks needed to pay Millsap plus Charlie Bell and next year's first-round pick!

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

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

No matter what the draft pick is, even if it is a second-round pick, Li Tuan can still select an All-Star starting-level center like Marc Gasol!

Artest is really good, with good offense and defense, and his strong body will not suffer even if he defends James. If he is there, bringing a group of rookie small forwards with the Bucks will definitely help the rookies grow quickly.

But Li Tuanjie is absolutely reluctant to exchange Millsap and the two All-Star players from the draft plus a good substitute Charlie Bell!

Moreover, now that Li Tuan has the idea of ​​training Millsap as his chief substitute, it is even more impossible to agree to this condition!

In the end, Li Tuanjie gave the king a final offer, Tony Allen plus Charlie Bell and Skeener, three for one, love or not!
