7 consecutive signings! The craziest team in the East! Just to keep Antetokounmpo

The Rockets and Nuggets in the West are both frantically strengthening. Which team is the strongest in the East? I'm afraid many people can't guess: Bucks! As of the time of publication of the leader, the Bucks have completed 9 operations this summer, including 7 signings (renewals), 1 deal and 1 layoff. Everyone knows the players that the Bucks cut, that is Lillard.

Lillard was cut. We have already written about it. Let's take a look at the Bucks' deal: the Bucks sent Connaughton and two second round picks to the Hornets, and got Misic for 3 for 1. Connaughton's contract is $28.27 million for three years, with $9.42 million left; Misic's contract is $23.5 million for three years, with $8.1 million left.

The Bucks made this move to save money. Misic wanted to go back to Europe to play, and the Bucks may cut them later. Although Misic's salary is only $1.32 million less than Connaughton, the Bucks can save tens of millions of luxury taxes through this deal. The Bucks' biggest signing in the offseason: signing Miles Turner for $107 million in four years.

Both Lillard and Halliburton suffered serious injuries to the Achilles tendon, which also changed the team building plan of the Bucks and the Pacers. The Pacers originally wanted to renew their contract with Turner and paid a luxury tax. Because Turner's poor performance in the finals and Halliburton is likely to miss next season, the Pacers gave up on renewing Turner. The Bucks cut Lillard to make room to sign Turner. So, Halliburton and Lillard were injured, which directly changed Turner's career. The next idea of ​​the Bucks is to retain the original lineup to the greatest extent and then renew the contract at a low price: 3-year, 44 million yuan renewal of Portis, and 2-year, 11 million yuan renewal of Kevin Porter Jr.

The Bucks also renewed the contract with Torrion Prince for a two-year contract of 7.1 million, 2-year contract of 7.5 million, Gary Trent Jr., signed Gary Harris for a two-year minimum salary contract, and renewed Sims for a two-year minimum salary contract. In addition to Turner, the Bucks have signed 7 contracts this summer. It can be seen that the Bucks players are basically lower than the market price when renewing their contracts. In the 2024-25 season, Portis averaged 13.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game in the regular season, with three shooting percentages: 46.6%, 36.5%, and 83.6%. Kevin Porter Jr. averaged 10.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.8 turnovers per game, with three shooting percentages: 44.9%, 31.1%, 76.9%. Both of these were considered friendly renewals.

Trent averaged 11.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1 steal in the regular season, with three shooting percentages: 43.1%, 41.6%, 84.8%. He averaged 18.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.6 steals per game in the playoffs, and his three shooting percentages were: 51.6%, 50%, and 80%. If you only look at the data, Trent's 2-year $7.5 million can be considered a bargain price.

Torion Prince averaged 8.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in the regular season, and shot from three events: 45.7%, 43.9%, and 81.3%. He averaged 1.2 points per game in the playoffs and shot 20% from the field. Gary Harris played 48 regular season games last season, averaging 14.8 minutes per game, scoring only 3 points and 1.3 rebounds, and shooting percentage of 38.3%. If the

has a full score of 10, how many points would you give the Bucks this summer’s operation?
