The Clippers are eliminated on the 12th day! Harden finally appears and is expected to re-sign 75 million to stay in Los Angeles for two years

On May 16, the NBA playoffs were in full swing. The Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Nuggets 3-4 in the first round, ending their journey of this season early. After being eliminated, Harden has not made any noise. He finally showed up on the 12th day. He updated his social media and has begun to enjoy his life in the offseason.

Harden's own brand of red wine officially posted a photo of Harden drinking and wrote: "The wine glass is rippling, and outfit is attitude." Then Harden's personal account also forwarded this photo, which is also his first update after the Clippers were eliminated. After being eliminated in the first round, Harden seemed to disappear without any movement. He has not accepted media interviews since G5, and he did not attend the season summary meeting, so he was still a little unhappy about being eliminated.

In the playoffs, Harden still felt bad at the critical moment, lost himself in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and then G6 completed redemption, but in the key tiebreak battle, he was lost again, just focusing on passing, and the offensive end did not bring much help, and the team eventually lost. After losing, Harden was also criticized a lot, but he was still unreliable at the critical moment. He did not respond to anything, disappeared directly and did not accept any interviews.

Now Harden finally showed up, and the outside world has paid much less attention to him. Overall, his performance is in line with expectations. After all, you can't expect him to be like the Rockets. He also needs to focus on the next contract. This summer, he has the option of playing players, so he can choose to jump out of the contract and re-sign the contract with the team, and may change the team again, but he does not have the idea of ​​leaving at the moment.

According to open-air stand reporter Zach Buckley, Harden is expected to not implement the player option and then sign a two-year, worth about $75 million new contract with the Clippers. For the Clippers, their salary space is still good. After all, there are no bad contracts. Even if Harden is provided with a new contract, there is still room to strengthen it. For the Clippers, staying Harden is also a good choice. He averaged 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 9.1 assists in the playoffs this season.
