Reject 3.5 million in one year! Request 111 million in two years! Dewey and the second young master are expected to reunite, Harden is in a dilemma

NBA Finals have not been completed yet, and the league has created its first epic 7-for-1 deal. The Magic gave Pope + Cole Anthony + No. 16 in the first round of 2025 + First round of 2026 (Knicks & Suns, including swap rights) + First round of 2028 + First round of 2030 + First round of 2029 (the top 2 picks are protected), and won the Grizzlies' sharpshooter Bain. Who would have thought Bain could exchange so many first-round picks? This is the NBA, there are always things that can make you fall off. This epic deal hits the door to the player trading market, and the future of many superstars such as Harden, Durant, Westbrook is unresolved. We have reason to believe that more, bigger and crazier transactions and signings will occur in the next three months offseason.

Let's talk about Westbrook first. Just three days ago, Westbrook made a decision to refuse to implement the player option worth $3.5 million in the last year and become a full free agent. Westbrook has played very well with the Nuggets this season. Westbrook played 75 regular season games for the Nuggets, averaging 13.3 points + 4.9 rebounds + 6.1 assists + 1.4 steals per game; in 13 games in the playoffs, Westbrook averaged 11.7 points + 3.7 rebounds + 2.6 assists per game. According to NBA famous reporter Stein, the possibility of Westbrook returning to the Nuggets still exists, and he will not consider the big contracts offered by European giants. He only focuses on his NBA prospects.

U.S. media NBACentral updated Westbrook's next odds, showing that the Heat ranked first (+260), the Mavericks ranked second (+325), followed by the Kings (+500), Warriors (+750), Magic (+750), Thunder (+900) and Raptors (+1000). Westbrook's passionate God of War attributes are indeed very compatible with the Heat's passionate team culture. The Heat also needs an all-around fighter like Westbrook in the backcourt. He even has the chance to get a starting place in the Heat, and Westbrook is not short of money. I believe that as long as Riley promises Westbrook's starting lineup, he really may switch to the South Coast.

Let's talk about Durant. It is a foregone conclusion that Durant left the Suns, and the only suspense is where to go next. According to previous reports, many giant teams such as the Rockets, Spurs, Heat, Mavericks, and Timberwolves are all potential next players of Durant. However, with Bain's 1-for-7 major deal completed, the Suns are also reevaluating the Durant deal. According to NBA famous reporter Marc Stein, the Suns did not promise to send KD to his favorite team. They just wanted to make the best deals possible. After all, they paid a huge price to get Durant.

Look at Durant's favorite next home: the Spurs are unwilling to be the second pick, the Timberwolves want to deal with Gobert's garbage contract, and the Rockets are even more careful in their calculations and are unwilling to hurt Durant. According to NBA famous reporter Marc Stein, the Heat are pursuing Durant again, and their chips may be the one that makes the Suns heart-wrenching the most. Durant is still capable of fighting at the age of 37. This season, he has played for the Suns 62 games, averaging 26.6 points + 6 rebounds + 4.2 assists + 1.2 blocks per game. Durant's contract has 1 year, $53.28 million left. Even if the Suns do not promise to send Durant to his favorite home, he can still control his destiny with the contract. According to NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, Durant will ask his new owner for a two-year, $111 million contract extension, and such a contract is exactly what Riley Butler wanted at the beginning, and Riley can afford it.

According to multiple US media and odds lists, the Heat have become Westbrook and Durant's favorite next home. Dewey and the second young master are expected to reunite, but Harden is in a dilemma. Harden has one year left with a player option worth $36.35 million. He intends to renew his contract with the Clippers, but it is a science to sign a contract. If we want to trace the root cause, the key is how strong Harden's regular season bottoming ability is and how disappointing the poor resume of the playoffs is. NBA salary expert Bobby Marks gave his advice when talking about Harden's contract renewal. He said: I suggest that the Clippers give Harden a two-year, $79 million contract. $10 million of the $41 million salary in the second year is guaranteed, and if the Clippers enter the Western Conference Finals, that number will increase to $25 million; if the Clippers enter the NBA Finals, it will be fully guaranteed. This contract renewal suggestion is not very harmful and insulting. Do Harden dare to force himself? Let's wait and see. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
