Just when Richard was at a loss, Jordan's phone called.

Richard originally thought that Jordan wanted to send warmth to himself, for example, there are too many talents in the team's forward and guard line, so much that they can't be used up, and now they send Harden or Curry, even if it's DeRozan......

"Hey, Lee, I have two pieces of news for you, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Jordan said with a smile on the phone.

Richard was amused, could the bad news be that Curry, Harden and DeRozan all ran away from the Pirates, and the good news is that their brothers are now on the plane to Los Angeles......

"Michael, don't beat around the bush with me, you should know that I'm completely burned out right now, and I'm not in the mood to joke." Richard said with a wry smile.

"Okay, Lee, then I'll talk about the bad news first......"

"The bad news is that we are not prepared to carry out Sun Yue's team option, I think he, as your compatriot, will be very unhappy when you learn this news......"

Richard was stunned, what kind of damn bad news is this, if nothing else, the good news must be that he can sign Sun Yue now.

Is Jordan fed? Running to find yourself to make fun of the ......

"The good news is that I can sign Sun Yue now, right?" Richard asked speechlessly.

"That's right, Li, there are too many of our forward line players, you have always kept Sun Yue, I feel that you must be interested in him, so let him go to you this time......" Jordan's tone was with a hint of reluctance.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many forward defenders, Jordan was really not ready to give up Sun Yue.

In his opinion, the things left by Richard are all good things, even if it is Sun Yue, who has been playing soy sauce, can play under Richard for three years, there must be something.

……

In line with the idea that the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, Jordan came to inform Richard as soon as possible, asking him to be ready to sign Sun Yue.

Richard grimaced, what kind of sin did he create......

"Michael, why don't you give DeRozan to me?" Richard asked with a smile.

"Ahem, Lee, what did you say? I can't hear clearly? ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... The signal is not good. ”

"Hey ......"

"Doot toot!" Jordan hung up.

Richard held the phone, looking loveless......

Jordan on the other side of the phone, after hanging up the phone, was almost not frightened by Richard's words just now.

DeRozan definitely can't let it, Harden can't let it, and Curry can't ......

He was also counting on these newcomers to carry the future of the pirate team, and he couldn't give it to Richard.

As for Richard's current difficulties, although Jordan is very sympathetic, he firmly believes that Richard will definitely have a way to overcome it.

Well, I'm sure I'll be able to get through it......

……

"Come on, Sun Yue is Sun Yue, anyway, it's better than those two starters." Richard said with a long sigh.

At present, Sun Yue has played three complete seasons in the league, although he has not played much time, but he trains in the team every day, and he is surrounded by top stars in the league, so his strength has naturally improved a lot.

At least it's a lot better than normal......

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about physical fitness, Sun Yue has to improve a lot more than normal, seeing that Tian'er is training with a group of devil muscles, even if it is originally a hemp pole, it can grow two or two meats.

Under normal circumstances, Sun Yue's strength is definitely not as good as the current Clippers' two forward starters.

But now it's different, Sun Yue's strength will not be worse than these two nobodies, and Richard likes Sun Yue very much, so he simply made a call and asked Sun Yue to come to Los Angeles to play.

As for the contract, after thinking about it, Richard gave Sun Yue two choices.

One is $10 million for 2 years.

The other is $15 million for 4 years.

The annual salary gap between the two contracts is still quite large, with the first salary reaching $5 million a year, while the second is only $3.5 million......

Because he knows that the Clippers will definitely rise in the future, and the team will definitely sign at least two contracts with the highest salary, Richard is relatively tight in terms of contract.

Of course, he will definitely not pit Sun Yue, with Sun Yue's data in the past three years, if he goes to other teams, it is estimated that it will be two or three million US dollars a year.

may enter a fish belly team, Sun Yue can gradually play out, and may sign a contract with an annual salary of about 5 million later, but this should be Sun Yue's limit, with his potential, it is difficult to get a contract with an annual salary of 10 million.

Sun Yue obviously didn't expect Richard to give him two choices, and in the end he chose four years without hesitation......

Richard was a little speechless, if he didn't say that Sun Yue had no ambitions, he might be left to others, and people would choose 10 million in two years......

If you really want to say that Sun Yue has no ambitions, this is not accurate, the reason why Sun Yue accepted this four-year contract is actually more than thinking.

10 million in 2 years, it seems that you will earn more in the short term, but what about two years later? He knew very well that Richard might bring the Clippers two years later, and whether he could stay with the Clippers at that time was a matter of two things.

Besides, playing next to Richard, not to mention the popularity and attention, this can allow Sun Yue to get some income off the court.

So on the whole, Sun Yue chose a four-year contract, even if the contract price was lower.

Sun Yue's joining, in fact, has not improved the Clippers' lineup.

……

If you want to improve the lineup through trading, judging from the current situation, it must be no play, and Richard can only take one step at a time, and first strive to make the players in his hands play value.

The team executives have been recruited, Richard met one by one, and the impression was very good, Sun Xiaoben is worthy of being a talent discovered by the Golden Dragon, and he is still quite neat.

The coaching staff is also complete now, with four assistant coaches plus Richard, a total of five coaches must be enough.

In terms of the team's lineup, I want to improve, but the key is that there is no way......

In the following time, Richard can only patiently wait for the start of the new season.

Before the start of the new season, there is a summer league......

In Richard's team before, Richard has basically completely ignored the summer league.

Summer league is quite limited in terms of player grinding, and it can even be said that it is completely useless.

The scum player went to play in the summer league and came back still scumbag......

Top newcomers go to play in the summer league and play with a bunch of scumbags, can they get a hairy grind?

So it's really useless.

But at the moment, Richard is thinking that he is idle, so it is better to let Cole lead the team to play a dozen.

As a result, this hit made the Clippers directly lose a general.

Monroe sprained his knee directly in the second game of the summer league, and it seems that the injury is quite serious, at least without a few months of recuperation.

Richard couldn't wait to slap his mouth, he was afraid that he was really full, so he went to play a hairy summer league......

This blow directly knocked out the team's starting center.

With a long time to go until the start of the regular season, Richard didn't need to use the injury scroll to treat Monroe.

With such a big injury as Griffin, the injury scroll naturally has to be saved.

If Monroe can return from injury before the regular season starts, then it is good to say that there will be no change in Richard's starting lineup.

But if he can't return from injury, Richard will have to choose one of the campies or the little sharks to start.

Even Camby, who is in his prime, is actually not a center, let alone now, so it is more likely that the little shark will start the center.

Thinking of this, Richard's face turned green, and he had gotten to the point of using a player like Little Shark to play the starting center, which was really a bit miserable.
