Before selling Sun Yue, Richard must have a chat with him, and if he sells Sun Yue directly, then Sun Yue will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Coach, are you looking for me?" Sun Yue answered Richard's phone and asked with a smile.

In fact, there is no need for Richard to speak, Sun Yue also generally knows the purpose of Richard's call.

Before the Clippers traded with Green Kai, Sun Yue naturally got the news.

Now that Rondo is here, can Sun Yue still get the starting position of the team?

It is true that Sun Yue is definitely stronger than Rondo on the offensive end, but Rondo is incomparable to Sun Yue on the organizational and defensive ends.

The Clippers are not short of offensive points, and the lack of offensive firepower after switching to Rondo's starter can completely allow Leonard to make up for it with more shots.

And Sun Yue also knows very well that being traded is actually not a bad thing for him.

The next year is his contract year, and he can work hard to get a super contract.

And if you stay with the Clippers, as a bench, how can it be so easy to play super contract-level data.

Of course, if Richard trades him to a team that suits him for his stats.

"Coach, is the team ready to trade me?" Sun Yue asked with a smile.

"yes, what do you think now?"

"I don't have any ideas, it's all up to the coach." Sun Yue clearly knows that Richard will definitely be thoughtful and will not trade him to a team that will bury him.

"Okay, then I'll study it carefully in the next few days, and if there is any news, I'll let you know as soon as possible." Richard nodded.

If Sun Yue didn't have a championship in hand, then he would probably stay with the Clippers for the next year with a championship.

But now that he has so many championship rings in hand, he doesn't care about any championships, the only thing he cares about now is whether he can get a super contract.

……

Two days later, Richard had seven offers on his desk, all from teams eager to get Sun.

Although Sun Yue has such and such shortcomings, his ability to play the No. 1 position fully proves his value, and he still has good commercial value.

These seven quotations are all relatively reliable quotations, and those that are not reliable, Richard has long ruled them out.

For example, some teams that want to compete for the championship, they take a fancy to Sun Yue's advantage of low annual salary in the coming year, and want to introduce Sun Yue to strengthen.

Naturally, Richard could not agree to this kind of offer.

First of all, it will cause trouble for itself, after all, the Clippers are also going to compete for the championship this year, and Richard cannot set up a strong opponent for himself.

Secondly, in such a strong team, Sun Yue may not be able to get too many opportunities to perform, which is not conducive to him getting a super contract next year.

So Richard finally chose seven teams that were weaker and had a garbage point guard on the team, which were the seven offers in front of Richard.

These seven offers are quite sincere, after all, they are all very clear about Sun Yue's current value.

With the complete advent of the small-ball era, the value of point guard players has skyrocketed.

When Richard first entered the league, the most valuable players were big men, and now the most valuable ones are point guards in addition to all-around type forwards.

Sun Yue's advantage on the offensive end is too obvious, and the defensive end is not very top-notch, but it is not the kind of level that cannot be put on the table.

As for the organization side, the super tall height allows Sun Yue to have a good passing vision.

All in all, Sun Yue is a pretty good No. 1 player in the eyes of various teams, even if he can't reach the level of a cornerstone player, it is still quite suitable to be a second-in-command.

If the price is right, these fish belly teams will definitely not want to miss Sun Yue's second-in-command option.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, it is easy to find a big leader in the alliance, but it is difficult to find a high-quality second leader.

After carefully reviewing the seven offers, Richard finally dialed the Phoenix Suns.

They made an offer of Beasley plus a 14-year, top-10 protected first-round pick.

In fact, the Sun's offer is not the best of the seven offers, but it can be said to be the most suitable.

At present, there is no decent point guard in the Suns, and Sun Yue went to the Suns and was directly the core of the backcourt.

The Suns' problem is not just that they don't have a decent point guard, they don't even have a decent guard......

In this case, they will definitely entrust Sun Yue with a heavy responsibility.

And the atmosphere of the Suns team is good, the owner is very tolerant of the players, and the team's medical conditions are good.

Anyway, for Sun Yue, going to the sun is definitely the best place to go.

And in the offer given by the Suns, Beasley, the little brother, was very interesting to Richard......

Beasley actually played well with the Timberwolves before, otherwise, the Timberwolves would not have given him such a big contract.

It's just that in the second half of the 11-12 season, Beasley was directly reimbursed for the season, which led to some conflicts between him and the Timberwolves management.

Then he was sold to the Suns, and in the season just ended, Beasley may have been affected by injuries and his offensive efficiency was not good, but it can be said.

At the moment, the Suns still have quite a lot of forward players, so they will take out Beasley and trade it.

Of course, they also knew that a Beasley would not be able to impress Richard, and they came up with another first-round pick.

If Richard remembers correctly, the Suns will be in the top 10 in the draft in the next few years, so there is no point in their top-10 protection at all, and sooner or later they will have to give Richard a top pick.

Because Beasley's contract is much larger than Sun Yue's, Richard can also add an old jet Terry here.

Terry's contract is $5 million a year, which is just right for Sun Yue to match Beasley's salary space.

By the way, with this deal, Richard can still get rid of Terry's $5 million contract, which is quite appropriate.

……

In this way, before the draft began, Richard directly waved his hand and made three transactions in a row.

sold Horford, Thomas Jr. and Sun Yue in the team, exchanged for Beasley and Rondo, and brought three first-round picks.

If other teams sell their center, starting point guard, and lead backup point guard in the offseason, then this team is absolutely crazy.

Richard is obviously not crazy, the core of his lineup is Leonard, Thompson and Egg Chase Green, these three are the skeleton of the team.

Adding to this skeleton is what Richard is doing now.

The head of the skeleton is supplemented with a Gobert, the tail is supplemented with a rondo, and as many players are piled up under the skeleton to deepen and thicken the bench.
