Refusing to execute the player option? Congratulations to Harden in advance, finally have another chance to pursue a bigger contract

In this year's playoff journey, the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Denver Nuggets in the first round and stopped in the first round, which made the fans who supported him feel heartbroken! Because before this series began, the Clippers were so optimistic that they could eliminate the Nuggets and advance to the Western Conference semi-finals, and many people even hoped that they could make it out of the Wild West to compete for the championship.

But unfortunately, the Clippers fell on the road to the championship again! They lost so much, but it also makes people feel tragic, because Leonard maintained a rare health in the playoffs this year! But the Clippers were unable to seize this excellent opportunity to win the championship in the end.

In the tiebreak battle, James Harden was once again trapped in the critical battle spell! Fans originally expected him to be able to beat all sides in the tiebreak battle, but Harden's final report card was: 2 of 8 shots in the game, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 2 free throws, and only scored 7 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 breaks and 1 hat. Although Harden's data seems to be barely able to pass, his offensive performance is really shocking! After all, in such an important game, Harden, as the core of the team, should have full firepower to have a chance to help the Clippers win. But in the end, everyone failed to see James Harden who was fully fired, and he didn't even have much desire to attack in the game. Therefore, it seems reasonable that the Clippers were eliminated by the Nuggets!

Perhaps, many people will stand up for Harden! Why do you have to blame Harden if you lose? In fact, it is not that the outside world is deliberately targeting Harden, but that as the core of the Clippers, he needs to make achievements on the offensive end, otherwise the Clippers will win the Nuggets.

Facts have proved that Harden's silence on the offensive end is almost equivalent to the Clippers being eliminated by the Nuggets. So, does Harden, who was invisible again in the offensive end in the tiebreak battle, still have a future in the Clippers? This is probably a topic that everyone is very concerned about. Because Harden holds the $36.35 million player option next season this summer, he can jump out of the contract to test the free market.

Recently, Clippers' team reporter Law Murray talked about the Clippers' offseason plan on the show. Law Murray said James Harden will most likely refuse to execute his $36.35 million player option next season, and then renegotiate a new contract with the Clippers to continue to partner with Leonard to strive for the championship.

According to Law Murray, Harden may get a larger contract after he jumps out of the contract. But since Leonard has two years left in the contract, and Harden will be subject to the 38-year-old rule that he will be restricted by the 38-year-old rule, his next contract should not exceed two years.

It can be seen that Harden's refusal to execute his player contract this summer is almost a foregone conclusion! At the same time, he will most likely get a big contract with an annual salary of more than 36.35 million from the Clippers. Although Harden was once again in the first round of tiebreak this year, this would not affect his signing of a big contract, because he is indispensable to the Clippers! So, we might as well congratulate Harden in advance, the Clippers should have given him a big contract.

Just imagine, if Harden doesn't support the bottom this season, the Clippers will most likely not make it to the playoffs! Don't forget, Tyron Lu said after the Clippers were eliminated by the Nuggets that the Clippers should have been a 35-win team at the beginning of the season, but they won 50 games in the end. Therefore, even if the Clippers stop in the first round this season, it is not a failure. As long as Harden and Xiaoka are still there, they will definitely make a comeback next season!
