After getting a quote from the Champions League team, does the Guangdong team have to spend some money to sign a strong scorer?

According to some news, former NBA player Edmond Sumner, who was previously reported to have completed the signing with the CBA team Guangdong team, has received a offer from the team participating in the Champions League, and he is also seriously considering the offer. In other words, if Guangdong team wants to sign Sumner, they will also face very fierce competition. If they want to sign Sumner smoothly, they probably have to increase their current quotation.

Sumner was born in December 1995. He is 29 years old, 193cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is the backcourt player selected by the Indiana Pacers in the 52nd pick in the second round in the 2017 NBA Draft. In the NBA, in addition to the Pacers, Sumner has also played for the Brooklyn Nets. Sumner has made a total of 161 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 14 minutes of playing time, averaging 6.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 47% from the field, 34.1% from three-point shooting percentage and 81.1% from free throws. Sumner actually has certain scoring abilities when playing for the Pacers and the Nets, and his performance also has certain highlights. However, the competition in the NBA are indeed too fierce. Sumner is the kind of player who is easily replaced. His shortcomings on the defensive end are quite obvious, which also leads to him being unable to continue to stay in the NBA.

In the summer of 2023, Sumner failed to get a contract from the NBA team. He chose to switch to the European arena and joined the Lithuanian League team Zalgiris. His performance in the European arena is pretty good. Whether in the Lithuanian League or the Champions League, he can show his scoring ability and offensive versatility without much playing time. Last summer, Sumner still did not get a contract from the NBA team, and he finally chose to join the CBA team Sichuan team. In the CBA last season, Sumner made a total of 26 appearances, averaging 35.3 minutes per game, with averaging 35.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 4.1 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.6%, three-point shooting percentage was 31.5%, and free throw shooting percentage was 87.6%.

Sumner's scoring ability is considered to be a top-level level in the CBA arena. Everyone sees this. His talent in this area is not only certified in the CBA field, but also plays such a role in the NBA and European arenas. Such foreign players will of course become the focus of the CBA strong teams. It seems that Sumner also knows his popularity in the market, and he also hopes to take this opportunity to seek a better contract for himself. In order to sign Sumner, the Guangdong team may have to spend some money?
