Early the next morning, the Pirates and Pistons jointly announced that the Pirates sent Dragic to get a 10-year second-round pick from the Pistons......

And the Pistons also made an official announcement that Pirates assistant coach Raheem will join the Pistons and become their head coach.

In the eyes of fans, this deal is completely like a weasel marrying a daughter-in-law and making a small fuss......

This time, no one said that Richard sent warmth, after all, Dragic is really inconspicuous in the Pirate team, and perhaps in the eyes of some domestic fans, the strength of the two Dragic is not as good as a Sun Yue......

Such an inconspicuous player, in exchange for a rather backward second-round pick, no one will say anything, just a regular operation.

……

Before Raheem left, he chatted with Richard for a long time, and he was naturally very grateful to Richard for helping him win such a precious opportunity.

Richard also gave some advice about the Pistons, although they got Dragic, but the team still has problems, and now Richard told Rahim his thoughts, just thinking that this new season, Rahim can lead the team to play well.

Strive to surpass the Green Kai's record, so that Richard can qualify as an All-Star and Raheem can also gain a foothold in the Pistons.

……

One more player has gone, and this offseason, the Buccaneers have gone seven players, counting Dragic.

Richard took a look at the current Pirate lineup.

Center: Jordan Jr.

Power forward: Milicic.

Gasol Jr. rotates between the two positions, with the trio sharing 96 minutes of playing time......

If there are no injury problems, the average 32 minutes per person is okay, no more and no less......

Richard is now wondering whether to find a way to get a cheaper center, not for the playoffs, but for the regular season to have someone available.

If any of these three inside players are injured, then the other two will be playing for too long, which is not good for the players.

Richard had this in mind, and was ready to find a time to see if he wanted to.

……

The players in the forward line position, the current Pirates can really be said to be overcrowded!

Durant, Roy, Batum, DeRozan, Sun Yue, Matthews, Szczebiak, Danny Green, if you don't count Harden, you are already eight!

There are three other people at the No. 1 spot, namely Curry, Harden and Iverson.

The configuration on the No. 1 position of the Pirates reminded Richard directly of the Suns in the nineties......

The Suns also have three Hall of Fame-caliber point guards at the No. 1 spot, namely Kidd, Nash and Kevin Johnson.

And the Pirates' Curry, Harden and Iverson will definitely be a proper Hall of Fame in the future.

Kidd and Nash are contemporaries, Curry and Harden are also contemporaries, and Kevin Johnson and Iverson are both veterans who are about to retire.

Of course, the other positions of that Suns team must be far inferior to this Pirate team, otherwise, the peak Trail Blazers before Richard would not be so easy to reign.

……

There are three insiders, eight forwards, and three point guards, for a total of 14 players, and Richard may trade one or two of the team's frontguards for a backup insider.

At that time, this lineup will be considered alive, and there will be no major changes.

……

After this small deal was over, several blockbuster deals followed.

The first deal to break out was about O'Neal.

The Suns finally realized that O'Neal didn't fit their playsystem and decisively traded with the Cavaliers to sell O'Neal to the Cavaliers.

Not only that, but the Cavaliers also bought Jamison from the Wizards, and it can be clearly seen that the Cavaliers have a big plan this season.

O'Neal, Jamison, Mo Buchuan, Vallejo and Big Z, with a James, this lineup is already one of the best in the East.

Of course, there is still a huge gap between the Pirates and the Pirates.

……

At the end of August, Richard's three children successfully passed the promotion exam and went to primary school.

In the future, Tiana can also be more relaxed, at least every day is not so noisy.

As soon as the time entered September, the Buccaneers began training intensively to prepare for the new season.

Richard attaches great importance to this training camp, and it may be the most important training camp since he entered the NBA.

For no other reason, this time he had to abandon the half-court positional battle tactics and start using the tactical system of the Warriors in the future.

When it comes to the Warriors' tactical system, we have to mention Coach Kerr.

It is true that the main lineup of the Warriors was made by Mark Jackson and the logo man, but the person who really exerted the power of this lineup is Steve Kerr.

Roughly speaking, Jackson and the Logo Man made gunpowder, but they didn't know how to use it, and Cole used it to develop muskets and cannons to deter the Quartet.

When it comes to Kerr, you have to mention the Bulls' triangle offense.

In the impression of fans, Kerr has always been classified as a head coach in the Pobo department because he played for Popovich.

In fact, this classification is not accurate, to be precise, Kerr belongs to the head coach of the Winter department.

Tykes Winter, the one who carried forward the triangle offense.

Although the triangle offensive system was not invented by Winter, but by his master Sam Barry, Winter has made the triangle offense truly a mature system.

Later, when he was older, he joined the Bulls and became an assistant coach for the Bulls.

Where did the triangle attack that Zen Master Jackson excelled at? That's right, it was Winter who made it.

At the time of Winter's death, the Bulls players mourned, and Pippen even posted on the Internet that "without Winter, we wouldn't have won so many championships".

This statement is actually not wrong at all, the training mode and tactical drills of the Bulls are all handled by Winter, and the Zen master is not only hugging the player's thighs in terms of hugging the thighs......

Kerr was a member of that Bulls team, and later after becoming the head coach of the Warriors, he used a lot of Winter's shadow of the tactical system he used in the Warriors, including Kerr's assistant coach Wharton Jr. also told the media that many of their training methods were based on Winter's layout back then.

Winter is a real boss behind the scenes......

"I've learned so much about basketball from Winter, so whenever I get a chance to use Winter's stuff, I won't miss it." These are the exact words of Cole in an interview with the media.

So, to be precise, the Warriors' tactical system is actually equivalent to a variant of the triangle offense.

The essence of the Warriors' system is to open up space, run off the ball, and pass the ball on multiple axes, which is quite consistent with Winter's basketball philosophy.

Richard directly found out the basketball philosophy that Winter once summarized for FIBA, and planned to arrange the team's tactics according to this concept in the new season.

One is to penetrate the defense, and there are two ways to penetrate the defense, one is to be absolutely strong, with the level of Jordan's first person in history, and the second is to break fast, crazy fast break, which is somewhat similar to the Seven Seconds Suns.

The faster the attack, the more likely it is that the opponent will not be able to defend in time, and the more it will be able to penetrate the opponent's defense.

The second is to open up the space, the larger the space, the higher the difficulty of the defense, as long as the opponent has a pinch, there will be an empty space.

This requires the player to have good marksmanship.

The third is to keep the ball moving, that is, to run aggressively off the ball and disrupt the opponent's defensive system as much as possible.

……

Raheem is gone, but Richard still has Curry Sr., Ranbir, Thibodeau and Mark Jackson by his side, who can help Richard train as many new tactics as possible during the month.

……

The day before the start of the training camp, Durant finally came to report to the team.

He had actually been to Charlotte a few days ago, but he was thin-skinned and embarrassed to come to Richard.

Richard also knows all the wild words that Durant said before, but how can he be as knowledgeable as such a little broken child, now that Richard is in his forties, Durant is just in his early twenties.

After the report, Durant was also relieved, Richard did not embarrass him, and the Pirates generals were still enthusiastic about him.

……

At the beginning of the training, it must have been very difficult, especially Roy and Milicic, who were used to Richard's half-court tactics and suddenly changed their tactical system, which was really unaccustomed.

On the contrary, Durant, a jack-of-all-trades player, is quite adaptable, and his performance in training is quite outstanding.

Richard doesn't have a good way to adapt to the players, and now he can only practice slowly, and after the regular season, he may be able to accelerate the players' adaptation to the new tactical system.

……

A week before the start of the preseason, just as the teams were in full swing to start the new season, the unwilling Clippers did something jaw-dropping, using an 11-year first-round pick, a 13-year first-round pick, and a 10-year second-round pick, plus a few cannon fodder players in exchange for Carter from the Nets.

Carter at his peak is undoubtedly worth the price, but now Carter is already old, and the pioneers didn't agree to change Xiaoao a few days ago......

Richard was also quite puzzled, feeling that something was wrong, Stevens grew up watching it himself, how could he do such a foolish business?

As a result, after making a phone call, Richard learned what had happened.

Stevens was with the Clippers and didn't have that much say, and he objected to the deal several times, but it didn't work, and owner Sterling made the deal done.

Stevens completely experienced the feeling of being more sad than dead......

This deal is tantamount to directly burying the future of the Clippers!
