The first-round draft is over, and the second-round draft begins.

Naturally, the attention of second-round picks in the draft will not be too high, but due to the existence of Li Tuanjie, the attention of the second-round picks in this draft is still quite high, mainly because Li Tuanjie has proven his choice of second-round picks several times. Unique vision during the draft!

Like the current lineup of the Bucks, many of the players are second-round picks who have made their mark. Many team executives want to see which players Li Tuanjie will choose in the second round of this draft!

…

"Tuanjie, there is news from the Thunder!" Xia Longwen said to Li Tuanjie after receiving the message from the Bucks staff.

"Oh? What do you say?" Li Tuanjie asked with interest.

"The condition they proposed was to exchange Russell Westbrook for one of Marc Gasol or Rondo!"

"Unity, I think if we do this, forget it. The other party is obviously a lion. A newcomer who has never proven himself wants to exchange Mark or Rondo? It is simply a dream! And apart from this condition, they I also want you to help them select a good center or power forward with the 32nd pick!" Xia Longwen was obviously very dissatisfied with the Thunder's plan!

In his opinion, whether it's Rondo or Marc Gasol, if you get a short point guard who is not even a top-three pick and has never proven himself, you will at least have to pay for a future first-round pick. Picks!

But now it's better. Not only are they not giving draft picks, but Li Tuanjie is also asked to help select people!

Li Tuanjie's drafting vision is priceless, and the players selected by Li Tuanjie have never been parallel imports!

"Promise them!" Li Tuanjie directly agreed to the Thunder's trading plan without even thinking about it!

Rondo is now thinking of leaving. Leaving the Bucks and joining the Thunder would actually be a very good way for Rondo!

The Thunder asked Li Tuanjie to help select people. This is just a small matter!

"For the Thunder's No. 32 pick, let them choose Asik! This choice is the best choice for them!" Li Tuanjie said to the staff again.

The Thunder would have selected Walter Sharpe with the No. 32 pick. This rookie inside player was so poor that even after playing in the NBA for several years, Baidu could not find any information about him...

But Asik is different. Although his offensive ability is relatively weak, his rebounding ability is really good. He has averaged 12 rebounds per game in a single season in his career, which is quite suitable for the Thunder!

At that time, the Thunder will have Durant as the core of offense, Rondo as the backcourt organizer, and Asik as the defender of inside rebounds. Such a lineup with a little tempering will be enough for the Thunder to enter the playoffs.

The staff followed the order and came back in less than five minutes. It seemed that the deal with the Thunder was finalized.

…

"I announce that the Milwaukee Bucks have selected Nikola Pekovic from Montenegro with the first pick of the second round!"

The Bucks hold four second-round picks, namely No. 1, No. 5, No. 11 and No. 28!

…

When they saw that the Bucks selected Nikola Pekovic with the first pick of the second round, there was another uproar in the audience!

Because after the Bucks selected three interior players in a row in the first round, they selected an interior player again in the second round!

The whole audience went crazy. What on earth did the Bucks want to do? ! Is it possible that they want to form an all-inside lineup?!

Selecting four insiders in a row in the draft is something that no one had dared to think about before!

Even if the team's inside lineup is extremely weak, they usually only pick two new inside players at most. However, the Bucks' own inside line is extremely strong. Now they have picked four new inside players in a row, which is simply unbelievable!

Let alone outsiders, even Xia Longwen looked dull. He couldn't understand why Li Tuanjie chose so many inside players. However, out of his absolute trust in Li Tuanjie, Xia Longwen did not ask.

He is well aware of the draft, so it would be right to hand over all rights to Li Tuanjie. Li Tuanjie cannot cheat himself and the team anyway.

The Thunder selected Asik with the 32nd overall pick. They naturally knew that Asik's strength was definitely not as good as the four insiders selected by the Bucks...

…

"I announce that the Milwaukee Bucks have selected Luke Richard Mbah a Moute from UCLA with the fifth overall pick in the second round!"

This choice of the Bucks finally made everyone at the scene quieter, and they finally stopped choosing inside players!

Mbah a Moute, Westbrook and Love are all players from the University of California, Los Angeles...

"I announce that the Milwaukee Bucks selected Goran Dragic from Slovenia with the 11th overall pick in the second round!"

The draft continues, and the Bucks have picked up six rookies in a row!

Four rookie interior players, a forward player, plus a backcourt point guard!

…

"I announce that the Milwaukee Bucks selected Li Sanjing from China with the 28th pick of the second round!"

…

"Wow..." The venue that was originally quiet suddenly became agitated again!

Did the Bucks choose Lee Mitsui? ! Many people in the venue knew about the relationship between Li Sanjing and Li Tuanjie!

"What? The Bucks really chose Li Sanjing, Li Tuan Tuan's younger brother?! It seems like the Bucks really did everything they could to please Li Tuan Tuan!"

"You all don't know, right? Li Mitsui can't play basketball at all. I've seen videos of him training. He's just a beginner! Moreover, his physical fitness is so bad. How can such a player enter the NBA!"

"There's nothing I can do about it. Who can let me have a good brother..."

There was a lot of discussion at the scene. Li Tuanjie shook his head and smiled without saying anything. It won't be long before Li Sanjing will use his own strength to slap these doubters in the face!

As for Li Sanjing, he didn't understand English at all, so he naturally didn't know what everyone was talking about.

All he knows is that he has become a real NBA player!

…

The draft is over, and the Bucks picked an astonishing seven rookies directly in this draft!

This number of draft picks is unique in the entire history of the NBA. No one knows why the defending champion has accumulated so many rookies. After all, a team can only have a maximum of fifteen players. They plus the seven selected this time. The number of newcomers has already reached more than twenty...

Immediately after the draft ended, the Thunder and Bucks immediately jointly issued a statement and the two parties made a deal!

The Thunder sent Russell Westbrook, who was just selected in this draft, from the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for the Bucks' championship point guard Rajon Rondo!

…

As soon as this news came out, countless people were shocked. The Bucks were up to something again!

Are you kidding me? Although the Thunder's rookie looks very good, he wouldn't be as high as the fourth pick if he wasn't selected. Can he be exchanged for Rondo? ! Is this Bucks management out of their minds? !

Who is Rondo? ! The first-line point guard ranks third in the league in assists per game, and has also posted explosive statistics of 20+20+15. Such a super point guard has completely proven himself, and may be selected for the All-Star next season!

Would the Bucks trade an All-Star point guard for a point guard who hasn't proven himself in the NBA? ! This is not because your brain is flooded!

If the Thunder take out future first-round picks or add some other compensation, then it seems that the Bucks are not too much of a loss...

But now the Thunder have paid nothing, just replacing Rondo with the fourth overall pick, which is a huge profit!

The Thunder management is smiling from ear to ear. The arrival of Rondo, paired with the super attacker Durant, can achieve a terrifying effect. This is the first year that the Thunder have changed their team name. , there will definitely be a new atmosphere!

Originally, they made a trade offer for Westbrook to the Bucks, but they never thought that the Bucks would agree so simply and neatly...

For the Thunder, this is simply a piece of pie-in-the-sky good news!

…

Li Tuanjie actually felt extremely satisfied with this transaction!

In the real world, if Rondo is exchanged for Westbrook, the Thunder will lose a lot of money in such a transaction...

After such a trade news broke, it was equivalent to saying that the Bucks got eight consecutive rookies in this draft!

Eight newcomers, this number is really scary. All fans and basketball practitioners around the world are paying attention to the Bucks, how they will deal with the team's lineup!

A team can only have a maximum of fifteen players on its roster, and the Bucks' current number of players is obviously far beyond the limit!

Li Tuanjie, Marc Gasol, Artest, Reid, Lowry, Gortat, Thaddeus Young, Nick Young, Sun Yue, Grant Hill, Millsap , Rondo plus two leftovers, this is the Bucks' fourteen-man roster last season.

At present, the Bucks have gone through drafts and trades. In addition to Rondo being traded for Westbrook, they have also added seven new people, which means their current lineup already has 21 people!

Of course, the Bucks will definitely not renew the contracts of these two leftover players this season!

As a result, the Bucks still have a lineup of 19 people, which still far exceeds the team's maximum roster limit of 15 people!

Of course Li Tuanjie is aware of the current situation, but he is not in a hurry at all!

Among these nineteen people, Gortat and Thaddeus Young are about to be traded. After the trade freeze period ends in July, these two people should be traded. If there are good trading targets by then, , then trade, if not, then exchange them all for future draft picks!

As a result, there are 17 people left on the team roster!

Among these 17 people, there are two players, namely Nikola Pekovic and Mbah a Moute. Li Tuanjie plans to sign them first when the time comes, and then send Sun Yue and Nick Young to the Development League to play for some time. Let Pekovic and Mbah a Moute enter the fifteen-man roster first. After fattening these two people, trade them away and continue to accumulate draft picks!

After these two people are traded, the team will maintain a trading list of fifteen people!

As a result, the Bucks' fifteen-man roster will be:

Center position: Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan, Ibaka.

Power forward position: Li Tuanjie, Millsap, Kevin Love!

Among them, the positions of Ibaka and Love are currently to be determined. Whether they will play power forward or center, Li Tuanjie is ready to wait until the game starts.

Each of these six inside players is an All-Star level boss!

Small forward position: Artest, Grant Hill, Sun Yue!

Shooting guard position: Reid, Nick Young, Mitsui Lee!

Point guard position: Lowry, Westbrook and Dragic!

There just happen to be three people in each position. Such a lineup is undoubtedly incredibly powerful!

Among them, the three positions of center, power forward and point guard are all luxurious all-star lineups!

The small forward and shooting guard positions are currently a bit "weak"...

However, after Li Mitsui, who plays shooting guard in the future, awakens to his full strength, the Bucks' offensive firepower at the shooting guard position will also become extremely terrifying!

The small forward position should be regarded as the "weakest" link in the entire Bucks team at present. However, the Bucks have a lot of trading chips in their hands, and it is not difficult to exchange for an All-Star small forward. Son!

As a result, the Bucks' overall lineup is extremely close to the top 15 that Li Tuanjie expects. When the draft is over next season, Li Tuanjie's wish for the top 15 will definitely come true!

In next season's draft, there are four giants: Griffin, James Harden, Curry, and DeRozan. In addition, there are Rubio, Jrue Holiday, Jeff Teague, There are very good players such as Huang Ama and Danny Green. Li Tuanjie will definitely have another big harvest here!
