Crazy Night! 2 new signs were reached, the league began to investigate the Clippers, Harden owed rent

On September 4, the NBA offseason ushered in another crazy night. First of all, two new signs were reached. The Mavericks and PJ Washington reached a four-year, $90 million early contract renewal, while the Nets renewed Sharp with two years, $12 million; the Clippers and Leonard had a yin-yang contract, and the league officially launched an investigation; Harden's restaurant in Houston was closed due to rent arrears, which was a bit unexpected.

According to famous reporter Shams, PJ-Washington renewed its contract with the Mavericks in four years and $90 million in advance. With Washington completing his contract renewal, he will enter a six-month trade freeze period, which means he will not be traded in the new season. In the 24-25 season, Washington played 57 games, averaging 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game, and his performance was still very good. Staying behind Washington is also very important for the Mavericks, and he is an important part of the team. The Nets officially announced that the team has reached a contract extension with Sharp for many years. It is reported that the two sides signed a two-year, $12 million contract, with the second year being the team option. In the 24-25 season, Sharp averaged 18 minutes per game, contributing 7.9 points and 6.6 rebounds, and will continue to serve as Clarkston's substitute in the new season.

The Clippers suddenly encountered trouble. TA reporter Pablo Torre broke the news on the show that there is a possibility of a yin-yang contract between the Clippers and Leonard, thus avoiding the salary cap. Soon this also attracted a lot of attention. The league also understood the situation and launched an investigation into it. Once it was true, the Clippers would face heavy penalties. Regarding this situation, the Clippers have issued a statement, "Mr. Ballmer and the Clippers have never evaded the salary cap or engaged in any misconduct through Aspiration, and any objection can be proven to be false." The Clippers are in trouble, and Harden has also had off-site problems. His restaurant in Houston was closed due to arrears of $2.2 million in rent and other lease payments. The restaurant has been closed and there is a notice posted on it that “due to not paying rent, the door locks of the place have been replaced and tenants are not allowed to enter”. This restaurant opened in 2021. Unfortunately, Harden had a dispute with the Rockets and finally applied for a deal to join the Nets, which naturally put the restaurant in an embarrassing situation. It is good to be able to persevere until now.
