Give up 36 million in salary, but the next company is locked in advance! The NBA model worker is super huge, it is difficult for you to win the championship

The NBA fell to its peak this season, the Thunder won the championship, and Alexander won the Grand Slam in a single season, becoming the number one player in the New Science League. For the competition next season, various teams in the league started an arms race early, the Rockets got Durant's upper limit, the Mavericks got No. 1 pick Flag, plus Davis, Clay, and even though Irving still needs to recover from injuries, the team's strength is not weak on paper. The Celtics have to give up early next season because of Tatum's Achilles tendon ruptured, and they will send Holiday and Posses away one after another. Anthony Smith is not going to stay. A whale falls into life, including the Magic and the Heat, are ready to strengthen their efforts. The competition in the Eastern Conference will be more intense next season. On the contrary, several veteran teams have been quiet since the end of the season.

Lakers and Warriors have only second-round picks, and they start to pick up various bargains after the draft. Here, Reeves is likely to be an important bargaining chip for the team to strengthen the future; here, Kumingga is determined to leave, but the Warriors is in a bad objective situation. Curry is 38 years old next season, Butler is 36 years old in the offseason, and with the centenarian group who chases Dream Green, they are getting farther and farther away from the championship. Although the Clippers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, their main goal this summer is to retain the personnel framework of this season. They only have 30 picks in the draft and cannot touch Yang Hansen. They finally chose the cake-type center Niedhausen, with the upper limit being Hayes. In addition, US media confirmed that Harden refused to implement the option of a player worth 36 million next season and became a free agent.

First of all, one thing is certain, Harden will not leave the Clippers. Clippers' team reporter Murray previously wrote that if Harden really wants to implement the player option, it means that there are huge differences with the team and is likely to be traded by the Clippers; but as long as Harden jumps out of the player option, it means that he will renew his contract with the Clippers. Due to the 38-year-old rule, Harden can sign up to a three-year contract. So how much is Harden worth? According to previous salary experts' analysis, Harden was selected for the All-Star + Best Team three team this season, and his market trend is around 36 million to 40 million, with the highest of 120 million US dollars in three years. But the situation of the Clippers is quite complicated. Leonard has two years and $100 million left in the contract. It is generally believed that Harden's renewal of the date is consistent with Leonard, and about 75 million in two years is the limit.

The Clippers won 18 games in the last 21 games of the regular season this season, and finally reached fifth in the Western Conference. As a result, they were eliminated by the Nuggets 3-4 in the first round. Harden scored 11 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 mistakes in G5 in the playoffs, and G7 made 2 of 8 in one game, 7 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists, which caused huge criticism. Harden has become a recognized "key battle" star in the world. This is never denied. If he can be tough, the Rockets led 3-2 in the Western Conference Finals. When Paul was injured, Harden would not lead his teammates to 0 of 27 three-pointers, and was eventually reversed and eliminated by the Warriors. When Harden has entered the end of his career, his role is to ensure the team's lower limit. And since leaving the Rockets, he has been looking for his thighs, Durant, Embiid, and Ka.

But what is embarrassing is that he thinks that his thighs are unreliable! During the Nets, Durant supported Irving+ and did not agree with Harden's leadership style; during the 76ers, Harden fed Embiid to an MVP, but his efforts were thankless. Embiid was even more sluggish than Harden in the playoffs; when he arrived at the Clippers, Leonard was injured again last season and rested for several months this season, and he was indeed healthy, but his average of 25 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game in the playoffs was completely unavailable. Harden gradually proved one thing: no matter what lineup is around him in the regular season, he can always try his best to lead the team to win. He led the team to the top in the Eastern Conference during the Nets and the Sixers. This season when Leonard recovered from his injury, his winning rate remained at 60%. Absolute model worker in the NBA! He played 79 games in the regular season, and ranked fifth in the league in 2,790 minutes, second only to Bridges + Hart + Edwards + Booker. Perhaps Harden has realized that he is unable to lead the team to win the championship. He can only overdraw himself in the regular season, refuse to take a rest, ensure better results, and help the team relieve some pressure in the playoffs. But what did he gain? Take this season as an example. If Kat continues to be injured in the playoffs and the Clippers are eliminated, at least the whole team, including Harden, still has a little hope. "If Leonard is healthy, what will happen to us?" I am afraid that Leonard will stay healthy, and his upper limit will become lower! Let me give you an example. Leonard played against the Nuggets in the playoffs, losing 0.2 points in a hundred leg, and the team not present won 5.1 points in a hundred leg. The

On-Off value is -5.3. The reality that Harden needs to accept is that he can renew his contract with the Clippers for two years, but this Clippers no longer have the chance to compete for the championship! There are also many US media suggesting that the Clippers should take advantage of Leonard's health this season to seek maximum returns and send Leonard away. At least with Harden, it is not a big problem for the Clippers to get the playoff tickets. Whether Leonard or not has no effect on the Clippers in essence. Harden is indeed a pity. From the Rockets to the Nets, to the Sixers, and finally to the Clippers, he once said that he was just one thigh, but things went against his wishes. As he hit, he became a thigh. To put it another way, I have worked hard and I have no regrets.
