這裡提到不擺爛拼選秀，絕對要特別說一個球隊，那就是公鹿。
公鹿的球隊方針常常讓人摸不著，像本季明明走了建寧+萌他，感覺就是應該要開坦克、拼狀元，但是他們卻偏偏一直花(高於市場價格的)錢簽下或是吃合約換來一些solid veteran，Mayo、Neal、Zaza、Delfino、Ridnour、C.Butler，每一個看起來都不太有「觀念」，當然這樣的作為，也讓公鹿的GM John Hammond飽受質疑；還有更經典的，就是上季末換來Redick拼playoff然後送走潛力股T.Harris、再更之前送走A.Bogut換來M.Ellis。
其實這邊有個原因，就是公鹿的老闆Herb Kohl，他是威斯康辛州、密爾瓦基當地的政治人物(參議員)，也因此對於球隊的經營方針，他非常在乎當地民眾的看法，對於他來說，擺爛不贏球拼狀元，無疑是把家鄉民眾的顏面丟在地上，也對不起支持公鹿的當地球迷(應該不會有太多外地球迷支持公鹿啦……)，也因此他們常常肯沒耐心的去花錢。
也因此當你看公鹿這20年來的成績，很少能夠稱為強權的時代，但是你說要數爛的球隊，好像也很少會直接數到他們，雖然你攤開他們的薪資空間、陣容來看，就覺得這支球隊實在很符合不上不下，絕對沒有什麼衝擊冠軍的可能，但也不太會拿不到25勝，大概就是這個原因。
這樣的經營很不現代、聰明，但做為一個球迷，我還是會不免地希望，他們能夠堅持，比起陣容攤開來就是擺爛拼狀元，他們的做法會讓球賽更好看，也能夠遲早能夠多些幸運降臨在他們身上。
補上個前十年選秀：
2012-(14)Henson、(42)D.Lamb
2011-(10)Fredette、(40)Leuer
2010-(15)Sanders、(37)Hobson、(44)J.Jordan、(47)Gallon
2009-(10)Jennings、(41)J.Meeks
2008-(8)J.Alxander、(37)Moute
2007-(6)Yi、(56)Sessions
2006-(39)D.Noel
2005-(1)Bogut、(36)Ilyasdova
2004-無
2003-(8)Ford、(36)Szewczynk、(41)Bogans
其實除了2004、2006年之外，你說公鹿選秀很爛，也真的只有2007、2008年那兩年浪費了首輪選秀，但公鹿的二輪選秀表現相當得好，這十年來12個二輪籤，有7個都還在NBA，而且大部分都是輪值球員。
補充一下一則舊聞：
Former Bucks owner Herb Kohl is still sending his old employees checks worth
thousands of dollars
http://ppt.cc/6v0M
大意：
雖然公鹿的前老闆Kohl(按：他是威斯康辛的政治人物)把公鹿隊給賣掉了，但他可是回絕了好幾億美金才把公鹿隊留在密爾瓦基(相較於西雅圖超音速)，而他之前的同事也都保住了在密爾瓦基的工作他之前在球隊易主的那天，就有跟每個球團上下包含體育館員工在內的所有人一一道謝而且給予他們一張豐厚的支票，而即使在球團易主之後，他還是匿名地持續寄給許多公鹿球團員工支票，這樣慷慨的行為還在持續中，其中一些支票的金額大小甚至「改變了那些員工的生活」(按：看來有些金額在4萬到10萬美金)。
Former Milwaukee Bucks owner Herb Kohl could have stopped after selling his former team, declining the overtures of several suitors and turning down hundreds of millions of dollars in order to keep the Bucks in Milwaukee,selling to Wes Edens and Marc Lasry. He could have stopped after contributing $100 million of the then-record $550 million he made when he sold the team to attempts to formulate a new arena that would stay in the city of Milwaukee,
rather than scampering off to the outlying suburbs.He then could have stopped after it was reported that Kohl was anonymously sending out $500 checks to various Bucks employees.
He didn’t stop there. From Gary Woelfel at the Racine Journal-Times: What you haven’t read, though, is that Kohl’s generosity extended much further. He also bestowed significant financial gifts to others in the organization, from secretaries to sales personnel to basketball operations officials. The amount Kohl gave those employees varied and was based on
different criterion, not the least of which was longevity with the organization.
Some Bucks employees received $40,000 while others received nearly $100,000.And there were even some individuals who were given checks that one person close to the situation described as “life changing.”
Yes, for quite a few people even a relatively slim percentage of the numbers being floated around as gifts from the former Wisconsin senator would be regarded as “life changing.”
Remember, this team isn’t leaving Milwaukee, because Kohl determined that any such talk from a potential buyer would be a non-starter. Unlike former Seattle SuperSonics owner Howard Schultz, who basically colluded with current Oklahoma City Thunder owners Clay Bennett and Aubrey McClendon to move the team from Seattle to OKC (Schultz, who made his billions in the city of Seattle, could have chosen to sell to local owners), costing dozens if not hundreds of SuperSonics employees and tangential Seattle-area NBA workers their jobs.
Without any reports of sending some anonymous checks back to their ex-employees along the way. Kohl’s former co-workers actually still have jobs, as a rebuilding Bucks team will line up in its first season under Lasry and Edens this fall. Even on top of that batch of good news, Kohl still saw fit to anonymously brighten a few days as he moves into another stage of his life.
One gets the feeling that reports of his generosity won’t stop bubbling up any time soon.
