At the moment, the players of the Charlotte Pirates must have been assembled, although the lineup looks a little shabby, but this is also the best lineup that Richard can make now.

In addition to the coaching staff, the rest of the team is basically fully recruited at the moment.

Now wait for Richard to get the coaching staff up and the Pirates team will start sailing.

After Ranbir was fired by the bulls, Richard took him in again.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was poached by the New York Knicks as head coach, and Richard is still missing a center coach on his coaching staff, just in time for Ranbir to take the role.

Miles also followed Richard to the Pirates and was responsible for Richard's day-to-day affairs.

Cowens went to the NCAA, and may have been hurt too much by the NBA, and he has not been able to mix up a decent result in the NBA over the years.

Curry Sr., like Miles, also came to the Buccaneers with Richard.

Ranbir and Curry Sr. are responsible for training rookie players, and Myers is responsible for helping Richard handle team affairs, and the current coaching staff is almost enough, so Richard simply did not continue to recruit new players.

……

In the summer league, Richard asked Miles to participate in this year's three rookies, and his current status will definitely not be mixed with a game of this size in the summer league.

By the beginning of September, the Buccaneers had their training camp for the new season.

Even the three veterans of Mourning, Pippen and Payton all appeared on the training ground.

Speaking of which, in fact, Mo Ning seems to be dreaming at the moment.

He never expected that Richard would choose him in the draft of the expansion army......

If it was five or six years ago, he was quite confident in his own strength, at that time in the league, although the four major centers had not yet retired, but after removing one O'Neal, he felt that there was really no center in the league who dared to say that he was better than himself.

Even in Mourning's opinion, he was stronger than O'Neill in 99, because he beat O'Neal and was selected for a while.

But now, because of kidney disease, he knows very well that he is almost useless.

Even if it's not all wasted, it's good to leave half of the strength of the body.

This is something that is clear not only to him, but to any player and coach in the league.

Coupled with his current age, he has no potential to tap at all.

Although the amount of his contract is not much, only about five million US dollars, with this money, Richard can give full play to his strengths in selecting people and choose some potential and capable newcomers.

At the moment, Mourning didn't know what Richard valued about himself......

However, he is still quite excited to join Richard's team, and he is happy to have the opportunity to taste the championship.

To this day, Mourning's luck is quite bad, and he has never won a championship in his career of more than ten years.

Richard stood in front of fifteen players, and there was a sense of pride and ambition in his heart.

After a full decade, he finally became the owner of an NBA team.

"Guys, if there's too much, I'll not say it."

"You just have to remember that if you stay on this Pirate team, you're going to definitely taste the championship."

"We are a new army, and everything is new."

"So, I don't want to be in my team, there is a scene of relying on the old and selling the old, if I really rely on my old qualifications to bully the newcomer, I don't think he will have a good day in the Pirate team!"

Richard understands the importance of the atmosphere of a team to the overall strength of the team.

At the moment, the Pirates are a new army, so Richard attaches great importance to the atmosphere of the team, and this matter has to be grasped from the beginning, if it really develops a bad atmosphere, the growth rate of the Pirates will definitely be greatly reduced.

Richard is not afraid of those players who were drafted to rely on the old and sell the old, they are all players who have been abandoned by various teams, and they are really not qualified to rely on the old and sell the old, it would be good to be able to mix in the NBA.

As for the three newcomers this year, it is even more impossible for them to be new melons and eggs.

So Richard said more to Pippen and the other three veterans.

Veterans are a double-edged sword, some veterans can bring harmony to the team's dressing room, while others are born with locker room bombs......

For example, Pippen!

Mourning and Payton nodded, both of them belong to the kind of players who are relatively low-key off the court, they don't like to talk much, although they are not very kind to newcomers, but they will definitely not go to the newcomers with a full stomach......

There was only one Pippen, who was an unstable factor in Richard's eyes.

If it weren't for Jordan's strong demand to choose Pippen, Richard really didn't have much interest in Pippen.

……

The corners of Pippen's mouth twitched, and he caught Richard's gaze looking at him.

"Is Richard warning me?" Pippen frowned, thinking to himself.

The relationship between him and Richard is not very good, and there have even been some contradictions before.

For Richard, Pippen didn't have much affection anyway.

Now that he has just joined the team, he has sensed that Richard is targeting him, and it is strange that he can feel comfortable.

He didn't panic, anyway, this team is not Richard's team alone, Jordan still has half of the equity, and he really doesn't believe that Richard can do anything with him.

……

"Coach, don't worry, we old bones only have one goal, and that is to win the championship." Peyton said in a low voice to Richard.

"That's right, coach, we're going to play the role that veterans should be, and now our only goal is to win the championship and never make a fuss about things that shouldn't happen." Kidney fighter Mo Ning also said with a light smile.

Because of kidney disease, Mo Ning's temper is much better now than before.

After going through great difficulties, some things have been seen openly, and the mentality has become easy-going.

Hearing the words of Mourning and Payton, Pippen pursed his lips disdainfully, the only goal is to win the championship? What are you kidding, Lao Tzu already has six championship rings on hand.

……

"Yes, although we are newcomers, we also have a big ambition, which is to win the championship as quickly as possible."

Richard was quite satisfied with the attitude of Mourning and Payton.

There is an old family member, if there is a treasure, these two are the top defensive veterans, and a little experience to the newcomers will definitely improve the newcomers' defensive awareness a lot.

Mourning is the one who can compete with Big Ben for the DPOY, while Payton is the best defensive player in the entire NBA history.

The best, there is no one......

Such two incomparably experienced veterans are, in Richard's view, definitely a great fortune.

……

There is no training program arranged today, the main thing is that everyone meets and gets acquainted with each other.

As for tomorrow, the Pirates have arranged for the players' medical examinations.

Richard thought about it for a while, and felt that today was a good opportunity to use "Group Therapy", and after using it, he would just follow tomorrow's physical examination to see if it had any effect.

"Group Therapy: Before the start of each season, the host coach can use this skill on all players in the team who are on a guaranteed contract, and the random target player can not be affected by the old disease for the duration of the season."

"Skill Effect Guaranteed to apply one player, 50% chance of two players, 20% chance of three players, 10% chance of four players, capped at four players!"

This is the effect of the group healing skill, and the new season has not yet begun, so now is the best time to use group healing.

"Use the coaching skill "Group Therapy"!" Richard whispered silently to the system in his mind.

Next, I saw a circle of light shrouded under the feet of the fifteen players in the training ground.

Seeing that there was nothing abnormal in the players, Richard knew that this aperture was probably only visible to himself.

After about a minute, Richard received a system prompt in his head.

"The group healing skill is successfully used, Scott Pippen triggers the group healing effect, and the competitive state will not be affected by the old disease for the duration of the new season."

Richard was directly stunned, he never expected that the effect of this skill would be triggered on Pippen's body......

If he had known this, Richard would have preferred not to use this skill.

Pippen is not part of Richard's team building plan, and if Pippen is allowed to return to the light, it will most likely affect the appearance of Iguodala and Ariza.

These newcomers need plenty of playing time to hone their skills, and with the course Richard has laid out for them, they will be able to reach their peak sooner than normal.

But now that Pippen has triggered this effect, it's quite difficult to do.

If Pippen's form has declined significantly, then Richard doesn't give him playing time, and no one can find fault with this.

And if Pippen is in good shape, maybe there will be some bullshit happening......

For a while, Richard was quite painful.

"Why not Mourning or Peyton?!" Richard thought painfully.

In Richard's opinion, since this skill can keep players from old diseases throughout the season, then Mourning's kidney disease should also be within the range of old diseases......

Without the concerns and effects of kidney disease, Mo Ning, who is still young, can definitely play a huge role.

Of course, this effect only lasts for one season, and if Mourning can't trigger this effect next season, his kidney disease will definitely "recur......

As for Payton, he is in a similar situation to Pippen, although there are no too serious injuries, but professional players at this age, they will inevitably have some old diseases, once these old diseases are cleared, although their strength will definitely be difficult to recover to the peak, but at least compared to the current much stronger.

Richard was a little speechless, it seemed that his lucky attributes were still not good enough, and the Pirates had a somewhat unfavorable start.

Thankfully, the Pirates didn't have the idea of making the playoffs this season, so the impact wasn't particularly great.
