As soon as the finals ended, Richard started the trade plan non-stop.

The first to be put on the shelves by Richard was not the big horse monkey, but Thomas Jr.

Richard had to admit that he wasn't as good as he thought he would be when it came to using Thomas Jr.

Although he knew that little Thomas was very strong, but in his own hands, little Thomas just couldn't exert his due power.

The rookie contract of the Malaysian Monkey has two years left, and it can be used for another season for the time being, and it is not too late to trade it then.

The big horse monkey is still quite useful, this time the playoff big horse monkey performed well, the offensive end efficiency is good, the defensive end, not particularly good, but not bad to the defensive black hole level.

……

But when Richard put Thomas Jr. on the shelf, there were few responders, and not too many teams made offers, which was the first time Richard encountered this situation when trading players.

Before Richard traded the players he selected in the draft, it was definitely a cloud of applicants, and how many teams broke their scalps to compete for.

But this time it was clearly an exception.

The reason for this is that the teams are not stupid, Thomas Jr. is too short and short, and he is born a defensive black hole......

There is such a natural drawback, and the teams weigh the pros and cons, so they naturally won't be too interested.

Thinking about it, under normal circumstances, Thomas Jr. has played an MVP-level performance, but in the end, he still has to sign with Crowder and the 18-year Nets in exchange for Irving......

In fact, under normal circumstances, Thomas Jr.'s start was quite smooth, joining the Kings in his rookie season, he could get an average of 11.5 points and 4.1 assists per game in his rookie season, 13.9 points and 4 assists in the second season, and an incomparably amazing 20.3 points and 6.3 assists in the third season!

Counting the entire history of the NBA, how many players can play 20+6 stats in the third season? The value of the deal is sure to be staggering......

But sorry, the king sold Thomas Jr. at the price of the jump.

With just a $7.2 million trade exception and a 13-year No. 57 pick, the Suns got Thomas Jr. from the Kings, which was almost a giveaway.

You must know that it is 20+6 Thomas Jr., who is only worth such a small thing, and Thomas Jr., who is currently playing for the Clippers, is playing on the bench, averaging 11 points and 5 assists per game, and it is strange that he can sell it for a good price.

It's not that no one came to consult Thomas Jr., but the offer they made made Richard quite unhappy.

They are only given a second-round pick, and there are even teams that want the Clippers to take out their own 27th pick second-round pick with Thomas Jr. in exchange for their better second-round pick.

Richard naturally couldn't agree, this is simply too tricky.

If it was really traded like this, then Richard didn't make much money by using the second-round pick to select Thomas Jr. in the first place.

……

In desperation, Richard thought of a team.

This team is naturally the Green Kai that Stevens is now coaching......

No one else will use Thomas Jr., won't Stevens use it either? I believe Stevens can see the potential value in Thomas Jr.

After contacting Stevens, Stevens couldn't make up his mind, after all, he still had a Danny Angie on his head.

Angie is the one in charge of this green team other than the boss, and any deal must have his nod to have a chance to be completed.

Richard was a little painful, once this matter passed Angie, it would definitely not be so simple.

Originally, Richard didn't need much, as long as he gave a first-round pick, even if the Clippers took a second-round pick, it was not impossible to consider.

But obviously Anji's old fox can't agree to this matter, and there will definitely be twists and turns in this matter.

Sure enough, Stevens called back and said that Angie was coming to Los Angeles to talk to Richard about the trade.

Angie is ready to come to Los Angeles in person? Richard frowned, this old fox must not be at ease, it is estimated that he has other goals, eighty percent of them are interested in other players in the Clippers team.

Since it is a transaction, as long as Angie can afford the price that Richard likes, then Richard can't consider making a deal with Angie.

Two days later, Angie took Stevens with them, and the two showed up in Richard's office.

The reason why Stevens was brought was because Angie felt that it was easy to do things with acquaintances, and Richard could not give him face, could he not give Stevens face?

Richard and Stevens have been friends for more than a decade, and everyone knows this.

"Alright, Danny, let's stop beating around the bush, let's talk about your purpose, shall we? I don't believe you're kind enough to come to see me, old fellow. Richard said to Danny Angie with a wry smile.

Anji coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, Richard just didn't play according to the routine, and he didn't even leave the at least greeting link.

"I'm here this time, naturally, thinking that I can finalize the deal for Thomas Jr., but there is a problem at the moment."

"We'd rather buy Al Horford plus Thomas Jr. at the same time." Anji said calmly.

Richard was stunned, Angie actually wanted Horford in addition to Thomas Jr.? Where did he get the confidence to say this?

Under normal circumstances, Horford's joining Green Kai is actually Anji's handiwork, and it can be seen that Anji likes a selfless player like Horford.

"Angie, my old fellow, I want little Thomas to talk about this, but Al? Are you sure you can afford it?! Richard chuckled.

Horford's value is still quite high, even if he is not a newcomer, and he has the top salary at hand, Green Kai will definitely pay a lot of price if he wants to get Horford.

Horford, as the center of the Western Conference Finals team Clippers, is not as easy as Green Kai can get his hands on.

"Let's hear our offer first, Lee." Anji said with a smile.

"We're willing to trade Rajon Rondo, Terry plus a first-round pick from the Nets for Horford plus Thomas Jr."

When Richard heard this offer, he immediately became happy.

"Angie, my old fellow, your heart is the exact opposite of your name, everyone says I'm a demon, it's a devil, I feel like you're more suitable for the devil's nickname......"

"The offer you gave is not a problem, the salary is equal, if I nod yes, this deal can go through without hindrance."

"But do you think I might say yes?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Rondo must be at odds with your management, right?"

"Terry? How old is he now, fifty? ”

"Want to trade a stingy player in your eyes plus an old 188-year-old quarterback for Horford and Thomas Jr.?"

"Anji, your heart is really black...... Richard said speechlessly.

Anji's offer is so black that Richard is speechless, if it weren't for Anji's offer with a first-round pick from the Nets, Richard would probably have swept Anji out of the house with a broomstick.

If it weren't for Yi Jianlian's current desperate support for the team, the Nets would probably not be able to escape the top three positions in the East even if they don't mess up.

In the previously concluded lottery meeting, the Nets drew the seventh pick, which is not high, but it is just enough for Richard.

In this year's draft, except for Oladipo, the top five picks did not succeed, and the champion Bennett was known as the most watery champion in history.

So, even if the Nets' draft pick is a top-five pick, it doesn't make much difference to Richard.

Unless this Nets draft pick is a top-two pick, allowing Richard to draft Oladipo......

……

Hearing Richard's words, Stevens sat next to Angie with some embarrassment.

At the moment, Green Kai is actually really helpless, they really didn't think so much about introducing Rondo before, thinking that Rondo would fully revitalize the team's offensive and defensive system.

After Korondo joined, all kinds of thorns were completely like Lao Tzu's number one in the world, and no one would buy it.

Not only is there a lot of trouble with the team management, but the team's teammates are also quite unharmonious.

If no one knows about this, then Green Kai can still secretly sell Rondo and let other teams have a headache about Rondo's thorn problem.

But the problem now is that almost the entire league knows about Rondo's thorns, and with Rondo's big contract right now, few teams are willing to take the risk of trading Rondo with Green Kai.

Rondo's strength is naturally there, but it also has to be able to play a role, and seeing the chaos of the sky can only play a counterproductive role.

With no choice, Angie could only put his mind on Richard.

If anyone in this alliance can still suppress Rondo, it is estimated that there is only one Richard.

Rondo's thorn in the head will no longer be a problem here with Richard.
