Chapter 660: The new season lineup

After the announcement of the deal between the Pirates and Green Kai, the parties did not move much.
Richard selected two insiders in this year's draft, and then brought in another O'Neal, plus Valejo's rookie contract is only one year left, Valecho is not an unimaginable thing to be traded.
However, with Valecho's deal, the Pirates' starting lineup last season is already second to fifth!
The first thing a champion team usually has to do is to keep the lineup unchanged. Richard is good and sells the two champions directly.
...
Although it is not surprising that Valejo was sold by Richard, but only selling such a cheap price still made the teams a bit uncomfortable.
I knew that Valejo was so good, they should get out of it early.
Just a bottom pick in the first round, plus a fringe player, can be exchanged for a championship center. This deal is not too cost-effective.
...
Jordan also took advantage of the off-season vacation, he and his wife have long divorced, and now they are alone, do not live too comfortably.
Jordan didn't even bother to ask about the team's transaction, and it was completely given to Richard, who was solely responsible for Richard.
After the transaction with Lukai was completed, Richard originally wondered whether Millsap should be sold, but the chips given by the parties did not satisfy Richard.
The following season, Millsap can perform well and strive to sell for a good price before the All-Star weekend.
Almost all of the work at hand is now done, and Richard is now ready to start handling O'Neal.
Before reaching a deal with the Heat, Richard had anticipated this situation, O'Neill is unlikely to honestly work for himself.
However, even if he anticipated this situation, Richard did not care too much, mainly because O'Neill's emotions were well resolved. Richard may only need a phone call to allow O'Neill to join the pirates willingly.
...
Richard didn't have O'Neill's phone in his hand. He called Kobe again and found O'Neill's private number.
Kobe hasn't responded until now, Richard is really looking at this lazy...
Richard did not explain much. After receiving O'Neill's call, he dialed it directly.
"Shak, good morning, I'm Richard." Richard was very gentle and greeted O'Neill.
"Richard? God, won't you pirates start training so early?"
"Your training is too early, I will not go to the training!"
"I'm not that bunch of new melon eggs, I deserve to enjoy the vacation I deserve." O'Neill was very dissatisfied and complained to Richard.
"Shaq, I didn't call you to call for training. On the contrary, I can give you the privilege. If you can keep your weight off during the offseason, I allow you not to participate in the team training." Richard said with a smile .
For players like O'Neal, in fact, off-season training is not good for him.
Veterans of this age should take advantage of the offseason to relax.
"Then what are you looking for me? Lee, we are not familiar with calling and chatting off the ground." O'Neill asked with a frown.
"Shaq, don't play with my child's heart, everyone is an adult, mature."
"I called you this time to tell you a few things."
"Accurately, it tells you the benefits of joining the Pirates!" Richard said with a smile.
O'Neill was dumb on the phone, and obviously also wanted to know what Richard would say next.
"The first benefit, you can get the third career career, or even the fourth championship ring, I think you can't deny this?"
O'Neill remained silent, because he couldn't refute Richard.
The Pirates last season were Valejo and Mourning, this season it was Oden and O'Neill...
Obviously, it is not a standard at all. O'Neill doesn't feel that he will be worse than Mourning. Mourning can help the Pirates win a championship and he is better than Mourning.
So the third and fourth championship ring, it is entirely possible, O'Neill can not find a reason to refute.
Seeing O'Neill muffled, Richard continued to smile.
"Champions are only secondary. I think you will be interested in this next benefit."
"I have a way to make your free throws around 65%, just like the original big book!"
Richard's words exploded in O'Neill's mind like a thunder.
Like Big Ben? !
Before O'Neal led the Lakers to the Blazers, the loser lost to the free throw!
O'Neal's free throws are too bad, and Richard used unlimited shark hacking...
Originally, the Lakers can also come up with countermeasures to use shark-cutting against Big Ben. O'Neill's free throw is slightly better than Big Ben. If they cut each other down, the Lakers can still have some advantages.
However, as Big Ben's free throw percentage increased sharply, it would definitely not work if he wanted to hack each other.
"Really improve the hit rate like Big Ben?"
"I mean no hard work or awkward toilet posture!" O'Neill asked incredulously.
At the beginning, he had asked Kobe to find Richard to inquire about the reasons for the increase in free throws.
Naturally, he didn't make any inquiries about it. He had no hope in this matter. Now Richard mentioned it again, and suddenly let him have a fantasy in his heart.
If his free throws can really reach the level of 65%, how terrible that would be? !
"No hard work, no toilet posture, you don't need to do anything!" Richard said with a mysterious smile.
...
"Well, Lee, if you can really do it, then the Pirates will win the championship next season and I will blow all the inside!" O'Neill shouted excitedly.
How can I not be excited, pit a free throw for a lifetime, and finally see the hope of improvement.
...
Richard laughed. O'Neill's temper was really fooling, and he had prepared other benefits.
For example, ask the age of O'Neill's son, write a blank check to O'Neill, and will later point his son to become a superstar...
Now only two benefits are mentioned, and O'Neal's willingness to play directly for the Pirates has never been smoother.
After informing O'Neill to report to the team in early October, Richard was relieved.
The preparation for the new season is basically over.
The lineup was built quite smoothly, and there were no surprises.
O'Neal, who may have an unexpected situation, was also resolved by himself in a few words, which is a good start for the next season.
Richard took out the team lineup list, the more satisfied the more.
Center position: O'Neill and Oden.
O'Neill is undoubtedly playing the starting center position, but his playing time will not be too much, thirty minutes will end up in the sky, probably leaving Oden about twenty minutes of bench time.
And Richard is not going to make O'Neill's attendance rate too high. He will take a break of about 30 games a season, giving Oden more exercise opportunities~EbookFREE.me~ In this way, Oden's playing time is not too small Too.
Power forward positions: Milicic, Marc Gasol.
Xiaojia normally starts at the center position, but with the development of powerful three-point shooting, his style has gradually moved closer to the power forward.
Richard was ready to wait for the small team to join the team, let him directly walk toward the power forward route.
Under normal circumstances, the Lakers selected Xiaojia in the second round, but they did not sign with Xiaojia, but reserved the right to sign.
It's not that Xiao Jia has a contract in other leagues and can't enter the NBA. He played at the Lausanne Academy in Vancouver before he was elected, not in a professional league.
Under normal circumstances, the Lakers can sign at any time if they want to sign Xiaojia.
Richard naturally signed without hesitation, signed a four-year, five-million-dollar cheap contract, the last year for the team option.
...
Small forward position: Granger, Millsap
Position of guard: Roy, Tony Allen and Ingram.
Sun Yue was positioned as a swingman by Richard, and Richard was ready to give him playing time depending on the situation.
As for the point guard position, Paul and Rondo are enough.
In this way, there are already twelve players on the roster of the Pirates in the new season!
These twelve players, except for Sun Yue and Ingram, who are less powerful, are all hooligans in NBA history.
This is Richard's team ready to defend the title in the new season. Such a lineup will undoubtedly be unpredictable, regardless of whether it is the Pistons in the East or the Spurs in the West. It is definitely not a combined enemy of this team.
