"We didn't seem to have any moves and didn't strengthen like other teams."

"Indeed, not only did they not strengthen, they also laid off two substitutes to avoid taxes."

"Oh, this is the sad thing about the small ball market."

"The final deadline for the transaction has passed, so we can only see what other suitable free agents are not there. Do you have anyone you know?"

He Li was trying to talk to George Carl to see if there was any chance to strengthen the inside. However, at this moment, He Li heard the conversation between Big Dog and Kassel during training.

"The trading deadline for this season has passed?" He Li was quite shocked when he heard this.

He Li didn't pay much attention to this before, but he had thought of it before the All-Star Game, and suggested that the team trade some suitable players.

But because He Li had not won the All-Star MVP at that time and had not officially shown enough strength and honor to convince his teammates, the team did not really regard He Li as the team's leading player.

To put it bluntly, He Li was not qualified and could not speak at that time.

As the saying goes, if you don’t do anything in your position, He Li, a rookie, can he still point fingers at the team coach and general manager?

He Li understood what was going on, so he didn't talk nonsense.

Now that the Bucks have a greater say, they have forgotten this because they are busy with the schedule and have too many things to do.

Because He Li had fought with the Lakers and had O'Neal's sequelae, he remembered that the Bucks still lacked some suitable inside players to win the championship.

He Li was about to discuss with the team management to see if it could be operated, but he didn't want the transaction deadline to be over.

What should I do?

"Big Dog, what is the management thinking now? Can you tell me?" He Li still asked Big Dog to find out the news with Kassel first.

Big Dog and Kassel did not hide He Li's idea and told He Li everything they knew.

It turned out that both of them had asked the management to report the situation, hoping that the management could trade some powerful players, mainly inside players.

The feedback given by the Bucks management is not unwilling to use chips to trade, but it is just too expensive.

After the Lakers won two consecutive championships, the price of the meat shield center in the entire league continued to rise in order to deal with O'Neal.

The only ones that have transaction value on the Bucks are He Li, Reed, Tim Thomas, and the three Musketeers.

The three Musketeers are definitely not sold. If the Bucks want to win the championship, the three leading players who scored in the Eastern Conference Finals last year will definitely not be sold.

If all three musketeers were sold, the Bucks' hearts would immediately disperse. Can the team still lead? Even if He Li is O'Neal, it would not work.

As for He Li, it must not be sold. The Bucks still expect He Li to become the second in Jabbar!

Besides, Reed and Tim Thomas, these are indeed the only two bargaining chips that the Bucks can do so at present.

With the help of He Li, Reed has begun to make his mark and demonstrates the potential of a top shooter.

However, this year is Reed's contract year. If Reed trades out, other teams may not be able to keep Reed.

If you want to stay, you can only give a big contract, and you can bet that Reed can make it in the next four or five years.

But the problem is, Reed suffered a major injury last year. Reed was just a second round pick. Is it really worth a gamble like this?

Perhaps, Reed's current performance was still fed by He Li?

After all, other substitutes of the Bucks performed very well under He Li's organization, at least in terms of data. He Li has such magic, which can seem to make all substitutes improve their combat effectiveness by several times in an instant.

So, Reed's trading chips are not very high.

What about Tim Thomas? He is a high-paying and low-powered player with only physical fitness.

Tim Thomas just made a fortune with He Li, but no one knows whether Tim Thomas will lose weight again after leaving He Li.

It is precisely for this reason that some people are willing to accept Tim Thomas but are unwilling to give the Bucks the Shield Center they want.

In fact, if the Bucks are not the championship team, then excluding Tim Thomas to avoid taxes is a good choice.

But the Bucks are determined to win the championship this year. If they are as important as Tim Thomas, if they cannot exchange for the center of the meat shield that the Bucks are missing, then the Bucks will naturally not want to trade out.

As a result, after the transaction deadline, the Bucks did not complete any transaction, but instead cut off several unimportant substitutes and avoided taxes a little.

Of course, the Bucks' move is to attract veterans in the free market who want to win the championship with their legs.

After the trading market is closed, teams whose total salary exceeds the salary cap can only use the basic salary terms, the middle class terms, or the 10-day short-term terms to sign with free agents.

The total salary of the Bucks still exceeds the salary cap, but there are also basic salary terms and 10-day short-term terms to sign veterans or lose the draft.

"10-day short-term terms?" After learning about some things from Dagou and Kassel, He Li had a little idea.

Next, He Li asked his agent Jeff Austin for advice.

"Don't worry, practice the ball, I will help you contact Bartle." Jeff Austin replied He Li.

That's right, what He Li thought of before was to see if the Bucks could sign the bus, but He Li didn't know the bus situation for the time being, so he needed to understand it before talking about it.

As for why it wasn’t He Li who took the initiative to contact the bus, but asked the agent to do such things? That was the territory of Americans, which was more convenient for Americans to do business.

It is also to avoid embarrassment.

Indeed, sometimes when you want to accomplish something, you will encounter some embarrassment.

"Batter has signed a 10-day short-term contract with the Nuggets.

But if you come to the Bucks to play with you, Bartel is willing to do so.

The premise is that you can make a guarantee for the Bucks and continue to sign Battel after a 10-day short-term contract.”

Soon, Jeff Austin gave such an answer.

It turned out that Bartel had just arrived in the United States two days ago, and it was a coincidence that he signed a 10-day short-term contract with the Nuggets two days ago.

Bartel also wants to play in the NBA and keep playing, but he doesn't renew his contract after playing for a 10-day short-term contract, which is quite scary and shameless.

Just when he was frightened, he heard that He Li was interested in recruiting him, so naturally Bartel would not be unwilling to play with He Li.

When Bartel plays in the Nuggets, language communication is also a big problem, but playing with He Li is definitely relatively simple.

But the question is whether what He Li said can count, whether the Bucks are willing to sign him with a basic salary contract.

"Okay, I'll talk to the management now, and I'll tell you the result at that time."

There is an agent to serve as a soundtrack, and it doesn't matter if the Bucks are not planning to sign the bus. At least He Li didn't recruit the bus in person at the beginning.
