Clippers star James Harden will jump out of contract in offseason

Although the Clippers were eliminated in the first round, many fans believe that the Clippers management will definitely keep Harden, after all, their ability to support the regular season is still very strong. In the words of fans, it is: "Where did the Clippers come from without Harden? The playoffs must be calculated separately! "

No, the contract problem has been solved. According to NBA famous reporter Zach Buckly, Clippers star James Harden will jump out of the contract during the offseason and has reached an agreement with the Clippers on renewal. It is a 2-year, $75 million 1+1 contract, and the second year is the player option.

means that Harden played a salary increase of 5 million yuan in a year with the Clippers. Last year, he signed a 1+1 70 million contract with the Clippers. Although he entered the All-Star this year, he may enter the Best Team. He averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the regular season. He played in 79 regular season games, but did not get off the front line with a minor injury, and finally got a salary increase of 5 million yuan.

According to Zach Buckly, in Harden's own words, he hopes to have a small salary increase, and hopes to continue to play in Los Angeles, and hopes to continue to win the championship with Leonard. Harden felt that he had a great time with Xiao Ka and had no burden, so he lived a happy life here, and his family and friends were all in Los Angeles, so he hoped to spend the last stage of his career in Los Angeles.

I personally think that it was because of the playoffs that Harden lost the confidence to test the waters in the free market. In 7 games, he averaged 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 9.1 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 43.6%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 36.4%, which is still a bit more decline compared to the regular season data. Moreover, his performance in both key matches (Tianwangshan and tiebreaker seven) was a bit disappointing, which made his value improved in the regular season become unacceptable.

So, I guess I have figured it out, so don’t bother to win the championship. In the Clippers, it’s a big city, and I have friends. The team is not bad. If you have less money, you will be close to home. That’s it!

But the championship probably won't have much of a big show unless the Clippers can trade another star this offseason, such as letters or Durant. It should be difficult to win the championship with just the current lineup. The lineup is still very problematic, at least one power forward is missing, and a stable third-point shooting point is needed. Powell is really good in the regular season. But such players are too prone to abnormality in the playoffs. As soon as the intensity is increased and the referee's standards are relaxed, it is too difficult to perform.

Reeves, Powell, Herro, Garland and others this year's playoffs are really a big deal.

Clippers boss Ballmer said that he would continue to strengthen, but it seems that this script is the same every year. The Galaxy battleships are aimed at the championship every year, but they have been hovering in the first round and the second round. Not to mention the finals, the Western Conference Finals are too difficult and too far away.

Harden is 35 years old this year, and he will be 37 in two years. Do you think Harden still has hope of winning the championship? It really responds to Kobe's words: This kind of playing style will never win for life?
