Officially signed the contract, the Bucks operation detonated the alliance, the reinforcement has not yet ended, Porter Jr. finally embarrasses his great responsibility

The European Championship is in full swing, but good news comes to the Milwaukee Bucks. According to famous reporter Shams, the team renewed its contract with Tanasses Antetokounmpo for one year, with the contract amount being only 2.9 million. After this operation is completed, it means that the Antetokounmpo brothers will join forces again. However, looking back at the offseason of the management, such a large-scale signing is not a temporary intention, and there are completely traces to follow. Since being eliminated by the Indiana Pacers last season, the Milwaukee Bucks have experienced a big reshuffle, giving up champion center Lopez and laying off Damian Lillard with extended terms to use the freed cap space to sign Pacers inside core Evan Turner. The Bucks' operations completely detonated the league, not only allowing the Pacers to lose the core of their internal and external lines, but also greatly reduced their strength next season, but also became a weak team. At the same time, the double tower combination of Antetokounmpo and Turner has the power to fight whether it faces the Cavaliers, Magic or the 76ers. If nothing unexpected happens, it is no problem to reach the top four in the Eastern Conference, but it is still quite difficult to make an impact on the championship. In the West, in addition to the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, the Houston Rockets, the Denver Nuggets, the Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers, Dallas Mavericks, and San Antonio Spurs are all opponents that cannot be underestimated. Therefore, it is necessary for the team to continue to improve the adaptability of the lineup.

As for the current lineup, the inside configuration is completely a luxury version. In addition to the double towers, defensive players Portis, 3D wing Prince, champion front line Kuzma and 26-year-old Sims all have the ability to support the team's bench, but the team's defense line has exposed considerable hidden dangers. Although the Bucks have found many up-and-combat players such as Cole Anthony, Kofi and Gary Harris in the free market, they still cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of starting point guard. According to head coach Doug Rivers' use of players and the personnel arrangement of No. 1 position, Kevin Porter Jr. is likely to lead the way.

This 25-year-old young player, who played only 30 regular season games for the Bucks last season, was able to contribute a comprehensive data of 11.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Porter, who played in the playoffs for the first time with the team, did not have stage fright and still performed stably. He could serve as Lillard's substitute, but now, the league's 75 superstar has returned to Portland to recover from his injury, which means that Porter's priority as a point guard has been advanced. Compared with the team's competitors, Cole Anthony's poor shooting is not good and cannot help the team open up the field; Kofi's ability to hold the ball is questionable. As for Harris, his foundation in organization is relatively weak. Since he wants to assist Antetokounmpo, it means that the ball will be concentrated in the hands of the most threatening players.

The work of reinforcing the number 1 position is imminent and imperative. According to Fadeaway World, Sidante Gupta, the Milwaukee Bucks can complete a deal with the Kings to solve the back line problem. Just management needs to give up Kyle Kuzma and Chris Livingston to get 35-year-old All-Star veteran DeMard Rozan. Even though the latter's role in the Kings gradually diminished, his scoring ability is still unable to curb. Last season, he averaged 22.2 points per game. Whether he was a defender or a forward, his mid-range shot was enough to prove that DeRozan is a capable offensive threat in various situations. Once the transaction is reached, Antetokounmpo's restraint in the inside will be alleviated, and the fault tolerance rate of the outside will be lower, which is conducive to the subsequent championship competition.
