The Clippers officially announced that they had completed a contract renewal with Harden!

Too bullying! Harden is so wronged! What exactly happened? It's incredible!

Today, the Clippers officially announced that they had completed a contract renewal with Harden, a two-year contract of $81.5 million, but the starting salary for the first year was only $39.2 million.

The second year, Harden had the option of a player, but the contract in the second year was only partially guaranteed wages of $13.3 million. In other words, Harden's contract has only a total of US$52.5 million in guaranteed wages for two years, and his annual salary is only a pitiful 26.25 million.

It can be seen that this contract seems to be the Clippers giving Harden a salary increase, but in fact there is a hidden mystery! If the Clippers want Harden to leave the next year, they can only give him a salary of 13.3 million, so this contract is a bit bullying Harden.

Then the question is! Why did the Clippers sign such a contract with Harden? There are several main reasons.

The first reason is that the Clippers look down on Harden. Although Harden once again entered the All-Star last season and was selected to the third team. But in the eyes of the Clippers, Harden is still not strong enough.

The Clippers believe that Harden is about to retire, and his weakness in the playoffs has not been corrected. Therefore, the Clippers believe that under Harden's leadership, it is impossible for the Clippers to win the championship! That's why they gave Harden such a frustrating contract.

The second reason is that the Clippers are preparing for the future. The reason why the Clippers only gave Harden part of the second year's guarantee contract was because they wanted to free up salary space in the second year to grab big fish in the market.

If this is true, Harden will likely be abandoned by the Clippers in the second year. Especially when big fish appear in the market, the Clippers will definitely abandon Harden without hesitation.

So another question arises, why did Harden accept such a frustrated contract? There are probably several reasons.

The first reason is that Harden can't find a better next home. Harden probably had gone out for a walk and found that no team could give him a better contract, so he had to accept this contract from the Clippers.

The second reason is that Harden has already made a big deal. Harden thinks that the Clippers are very prosperous in Los Angeles, which is very convenient for him to eat, drink and have fun. So even if the Clippers give him an insulting contract, he can only accept that he doesn't want to leave again. Is this the truth?
