The Bucks copy James homework? No matter how miserable the Bucks are, they will become the king of scrolls. Do you want to change this thing for Antetokounmpo?
2:39am, 28 July 2025【Basketball】
The Milwaukee Bucks are doing something that the entire league cannot understand. After buying out Lillard, they have been seeking reinforcement. This operation is normal. However, this time they targeted a cancer-type scorer, Cameron Thomas of the Nets, a player who asked for a price of 30 million yuan but no one in the league was interested in it, and the Nets even gave him a shameful qualification offer.
1. Eastern vacuum period, the Bucks' window period has arrived. The East in the summer of 2026 is destined to be no longer the bloody Shura field this year. Several popular teams with hope of winning the championship have encountered very major changes, which has caused the entire East to enter a strength vacuum period, and this is also the best window period for the Bucks to hit the championship again.
The 2025 playoffs were dramatically full, and several favorite teams failed to make it to the finals. In the end, the Pacers passed the ladders and lost seven games before they lost. However, the playoffs this year were also extremely tragic, with Celtics' Tatum and Pacers' Halliburton both suffering major injuries. In addition, the Knicks will inevitably fluctuate greatly in the new season. George, who was introduced by the 76ers, has shown signs of being incompatible with the team.
Of course, the Bucks are also victims. Lillard's injury caused their strength to be greatly damaged, but other strong teams in the East have encountered big problems except the Cavaliers. Compared with other teams, the Bucks quickly signed with Turner after buying out Lillard, which also gave them room to operate again. In other words, the Cavaliers are now the complete strong team in the East, so the Bucks must strengthen, not because they are strong, but because their opponents are worse.
2. He is the most embarrassing free agent in 2025
Since Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to win the championship, their results have not improved for several consecutive years, which makes him very impatient. In 2025, there was a big deal that if the Bucks couldn't win the championship, he might leave. This also led to teams such as the Warriors, Lakers, and Clippers targeting Antetokounmpo in 2027, and the Bucks were in a situation where they could only grit their teeth and strengthen.
It is not easy for the Bucks to sign Turner. There are not many good products in the player market now. Players such as Horford and Melton have been decided by the Warriors, so they can only focus on the Nets' train.
However, Thomas is the most embarrassing script in the free market in 2025, no doubt, even more trouble than Kumingga. After becoming a restricted free agent, he asked for an annual salary of 30 million yuan, and the average 24 points per game seemed to be very reasonable, but not only did the Nets refuse his offer, no other team in the league talked to him. In this case, the Nets' behavior is definitely a shameful offer to him.
At the end of June, there was news that the Nets gave Thomas Jr. a $5.99 million qualification offer, which caused an uproar across the league. However, the official offer given two days ago finally looked better, with $28.2 million in two years, but it was also a shameful offer because it included the team options for the second year.
The man who asked for an annual salary of 30 million not only did not get the price he wanted, but also offered a shameful qualification offer. The most important thing was that none of the other teams in the league gave him a quote, and even had no negotiations. It can be seen that other teams have seen through the cancer attributes of this scorer who averaged 24 points per game, but the Bucks have no choice.
3. How should I swallow the people I made by the Bucks?
In exchange for Lillard Bucks, they sent Holiday away. It turned out that my cousin certainly provided sufficient outside firepower, but did not bring qualitative changes to the team. In addition, Middleton was sent away before, resulting in the Bucks generally lacking outside defense. This problem cannot be resolved will further intensify the team's crisis.
Fortunately, the Bucks signed Turner, and after Lopez left, they were upgraded in the interior. If Antetokounmpo played the organization, they would not be able to lack a point guard. But if the outside defense is not good, the Bucks can only make up for it in the most helpless way, and use the outside attack to redeem the opponent's opponent, so they can only be equipped with strong enough outside firepower. So they are attracted by Thomas, who has outstanding offensive ability, a mess of defense, and an outrageous passing ability. The
The Bucks are not unaware of Thomas's problem, but that there is really no one else. It is almost August, and all the players who can be grabbed have been grabbed, so I can only focus on Thomas and make the final struggle.
The helpless approach now is actually very simple, that is, take advantage of the weak vacuum period of the East, which is the same logic that James must stay in the East at his peak. James is the famous "historical runner-up", in many ways because he is in the weak East and has also brought the top stars in the East to his side and forced the finals to play.
Of course, we also know that James' finals win rate is not that high, but he can't resist the number of times he has reached the finals. Even if the winning rate is low, as long as the base for playing in the finals is large enough, he will have hope of winning the championship. Although it seems that a serious injury such as Halliburton and Tatum are put into full recovery in a year, it actually takes at least 2-3 years, or even longer. But it is hard to say whether it can continue to reach its peak after recovery (refer to Durant), which means that several strong teams in the East will not be able to recover from their senses in the next three years. Together with the 76ers who may be dragged down by George's contract, they have not been able to make a comeback in recent years. This is the opportunity left for the Bucks.
For the Bucks, it is not a reinforcement to his attention to Thomas. His cancer attributes are too obvious, but this is the last vote of Antetokounmpo that the Bucks gave Antetokounmpo. It's just that Thomas is the bargaining chip chosen by fate.
