After returning to Charlotte, Richard gathered the team's assistant coaches for a coaching staff meeting.

Now that Richard has basically got all the players he wants, there won't be much change in this squad for at least the next three or four years.

Of course, tinkering with roster adjustments, there will definitely be.

On the inside, Milicic, Vallejo, Gortat and Old Mourning must be completely sufficient.

No matter how much it is, Richard won't be able to cultivate it.

On the forward line, that is, the position of small forward and shooting guard, Richard currently has Granger, Iguodala and Ariza on hand, which looks a little stretched, but it is actually enough.

Iguodala and Granger started the two, and Ariza played as a substitute for the two, so that although Ariza is said to be a substitute, he also has a lot of playing time, even if the two average playing time reaches 35 minutes per game, Ariza can still mix up to 26 minutes of playing time.

That's pretty good for Ariza.

But enough is enough, such a lineup of forwards and defenders must still be almost meaningless in Richard's opinion.

It definitely needs to be strengthened.

The forward line is a very important position on the field, both of which are responsible for scoring, and if the strength is not enough, it will be much more difficult for the team to win.

The previous Trail Blazers were a prime example of this, retaining an Auburn pair and the No. 1 bearded Davis and neglecting the frontguard, resulting in their current record not being as good as it was year after year.

This is undoubtedly a mistake by the team's decision-makers.

And in the '06 draft, there will be quite good forward players, one is Huang Mambarroy, and the other is Rudy Gay.

If Richard can get one, he will be paired with Millsap, the rice god who was guaranteed to be selected in the last round.

The Pirates' forward lineup can basically be called perfect.

Rudy Gay has good strength, although he is not a supergiant, but he is a proper All-Star.

As for the yellow mambarroy, if Richard could get it, he would probably wake up laughing when he slept.

How strong is Roy? No one knows, because he retired before he was in his prime.

Countless fans sighed at what happened to Rose Rose in the Windy City, but in fact, Rose's fate was quite lucky compared to Roy.

At least Rose can stay active in the league, while Roy can only retire in disgrace......

……

It's just that it must not be so easy to get one of these two.

Guy is now joining Purdue University, under normal circumstances, he is the eighth pick in the first round, and it is not impossible for him to be mentioned in the next 06 draft.

As for Roy, he is actually also a player in the Big Ten League, the same league as Purdue.

Even with the behemoth of Purdue, Roy's light is still unstoppable, under normal circumstances, he is the sixth in the league to enter the alliance, and it is impossible to go low at the moment.

These two high-ranking newcomers, if Richard wants to get them, he must have to think of a way.

……

The method was figured out, and although it was very difficult to obtain this kind of draft pick, as long as Richard was willing to pay a bargaining chip that was difficult for others to refuse, he would definitely be able to get it in the end.

Richard has a detailed plan for the players on the interior and forward line, and the same is true for the point guard position.

Rondo will be in the draft next year, and the pick may not be too high, and Richard may be able to use their first-round pick with the Buccaneers to get their hands on it.

The only thing that gave Richard a headache was that Rondo and Paul got together, and I don't know if they would fight.

You must know that under normal circumstances, the enmity between these two people can be described as deep as the sea, and every time they meet in the game, it must be a mutual pinch.

……

Milicic, Vallejo, Mourning, Gortat, Iguodala, Granger, Ariza, Paul, Payton.

This is Richard's main rotation lineup for the next season, a total of nine.

The nine-man rotation is already a relatively normal existence in the NBA.

Like some managers who prefer a seven-man rotation, this will undoubtedly increase the risk of injury to the players.

And if there is more than a nine-man rotation lineup, the rookie players will not be developed.

So at the moment, this nine-man rotation lineup, in Richard's opinion, is quite suitable.

Of course, Richard must still have to make up the list of thirteen people who are hard to require.

……

In the blink of an eye, the time entered July.

The trade market is open, and many teams around the league have made large trades, which certainly don't include the Buccaneers.

The lineup that Richard is slowly accumulating now has no need to trade at all.

Of the three new recruits this year, Richard asked Cowens to lead the team to play in the summer league.

When the summer league ended, Richard received a call from the domestic basketball association, saying that he wanted the men's basketball team to come to the United States to practice and see if Richard could help arrange it.

This request is quite polite, Richard thinks that he is still the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, and it seems that the other party is asking for help in this matter, which is not too much.

Anyway, this offseason, the Pirates will have hellish training, so that the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely have a much better effect than their random practice.

Jordan will definitely not refuse this, there is no reason to refuse at all, and this matter is not harmful to the Pirates.

As for Stern, he should raise his hands in favor, I'm afraid that after knowing this, he is likely to let the media report it well.

Dazhi can be regarded as opening up China's NBA market, and Yao Ming's birth has made the Chinese market a mouth-watering cake.

Even if other achievements are not mentioned, Stern's exploit in the Chinese market alone is enough to secure his position as NBA president.

Think about the four major leagues in North America, and the NBA has completely opened up the market in China, and the other three major leagues must have audiences, but the number is definitely far less than that of the NBA.

The NFL, the hottest in North America, is not popular at all in China, and the number of fans in China may not even be one-tenth of that of the NBA, or even even lower, five percent, or even one percent......

……

It is a pity that Richard is quite regrettable that there is no Sun Yue in the list of Chinese men's basketball teams coming to the United States for training this time.

This makes Richard quite painful, where the hell did this kid go?!

Many fans have overlooked one thing, in fact, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian participated in the draft in the same year.

That is, the draft meeting in '07......

In this draft, the possibility of Richard winning Yi Jianlian is not very high, at least that's what Richard thinks now.

is Sun Yue in the second round, and Richard may take advantage of the situation.

The reason for this is because Richard feels that if Sun Yue rises, the overall strength of Chinese basketball will be improved.

Don't forget, Sun Yue is a defender, and Yi Jianlian is a big insider.

Is Chinese basketball lacking inside lines? At least at the moment, there is no shortage at all.

Even if Yi Jianlian rises, can he have Yao Ming and Dazhiqiang? Hard......

And if Sun Yue rises, the Chinese men's basketball team will add an outside defensive gate.

The benefits are self-evident.

So Richard has always wanted to meet Sun Yue and see what this kid's temperament is.
