A thorough investigation of the Bucks! Another player has reduced his salary by millions to invest!

ESPN reported that free agent forward Amir Kofi has reached a one-year contract with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Who is Kofi? A six-year veteran in the NBA, he played for the Clippers for six seasons in his career, averaged 9.7 points per game in the 2024-25 season, shooting percentage of 47.1% from the field and 40.9% from three-pointers. This is his second season in which he averaged 9 points per game. As an outside player, it is really not easy to have such a data when the team has Kawaii, George, Harden, Powell and others in recent years.

Although he only started 13 games in 72 games last season, his average playing time has reached 24.3 minutes per game. If Kawaii and Bogdan, who have only played more than 30 games, his playing time can be ranked fourth in the team. And scoring, he is also ranked 7th in the team.

Of course, if there were no shortcomings, such a player would have been snatched away long ago. Except for the large open space, Coffey's three-pointer is very accurate, and the other real Duan Yu's six-mechanical divine sword is like. But when you see his shooting percentage is about 47%, and his three-point shooting percentage is about 40%, I don’t know if I saw the data wrongly or the game wrongly. Moreover, his defense is relatively poor, due to his physical condition, he has too many fouls. The most important thing is that he is easy to get on the show, and he has to be divided into two parts, including highlights and cheating.

It can be said that Coffey has been criticized by Clippers fans a lot, but he is a very successful example for the team. A player who averages nearly 10 points per game only has $11 million in three years, so what food can you choose? Anyone who averages 10 points per game will have to have a middle-class contract or something.

When many people thought that Kofi might have signed a veteran's basic salary, Bucks reporter Eric Nehm followed up and reported that Kofi signed a training camp contract. What does it mean? Simply put, the training camp contract is usually an unsecured basic salary contract, which is basically paid on a daily basis. For example, Coffey, who is over 5 years old, has a daily salary of about 2.6 million yuan/NBA working days of 177 days, which is about 14,000 US dollars a day. Although this is almost a negligible fraction for the NBA, for xdm who read this article, let alone the daily salary, you will wake up laughing when you have this monthly salary, and some may not even have an annual salary.

Of course, most training camp contracts may be Exhibit 10 contracts. I believe Chinese fans are very familiar with this contract, and maybe the annual salary is only about 100,000 US dollars. Because the Bucks have already gathered a list of 15 people, it is likely to be a training camp contract. The Bucks are really awesome this summer, letting a scorer with a score of about 10 points compete for a training camp contract. Many previous operations were lower than the market conditions, and many fans joked whether they had made yin and yang contracts.

Signing Turner for 107 million yuan in 4 years, no premium, he won Cole Anthony in less than 6 million yuan in 2 years, renewed Portis in 3 years, 44 million yuan, 11 million yuan in 2 years, Kevin Porter, 7.1 million yuan in 2 years, and Trent Jr. in 2 years!

In my impression, except that I did not compete with the Clippers for Bill, the Bucks this offseason can be said to have full firepower.

Of course, although the operation is quite perfect, the changes in the Bucks are not big and may not be much improved. In this era of competition, it may not be so easy to compete for the championship.
