The second salary cut! Not to mention Harden is selfish, Beverly makes a request, and Perkins makes the words clear

In this offseason, Harden rejected the option of 36.35 million players and chose to re-sign a two-year contract with the Clippers, of which the second year was partially guaranteed. Clippers president Frank said that if Harden did not cut his salary and renew his contract with the team, they would not be able to win Bill and Dalow at all. Some people say, isn’t Harden a salary increase? His annual salary has changed from 36 million to 40 million. But you can't calculate this way, but it depends on the team's needs.

If Harden asks the Clippers for an annual salary of 50 million, and if Frank gives it, he will definitely give it. Harden is the Clippers who keep the basic balance of the playoffs. The Clippers, who have planned to make room for a big game in 27 years, will not mind Harden getting a high salary and short contract. But Harden, who occupies a favorable position, voluntarily gave up this right. Last year, Harden and the Clippers renewed their contracts for two years and 70 million yuan, which also prevented the team from over-tax, so this year the Clippers received full middle-class and biennial special cases.

Many people always say that Harden is selfish, but they do not praise Harden's salary cuts. Harden's former teammate Beverly, he specifically mentioned Harden in his show "Pat Bev Pod". Beverly said this is Harden's second salary cut, the last time he cut the salary for the 76ers and helped Embiid successfully sign PJ Tucker. If Harden is selfish, then why is he cutting his salary so frequently? At the end of the day, Harden is just a person who strives to win the championship.

Beverley said: "No one knows how much sacrifice James Harden made to compete for the championship, and he took the initiative to cut his salary in order to accomplish these. I think the outside world has not given him enough praise, and he should have been recognized by most people. But those people say he is selfish and say that he is not good, that is not good. This time, the Clippers are the second time that Harden cuts his salary to help the team, and those people don't mention it. They just like to focus on the [applying to leave the team] when Harden is in the trough."

The famous speaker Perkins also talked about the record of Harden leading the team before. He said that he had scolded the Clippers for letting George go for nothing last year. But the new Clippers led by Harden and Leonard made him feel how wise it would be for the team to let George go. George, who received a maximum salary of 212 million yuan in 4 years and 76ers, may the team have collapsed if the Clippers offer him such a contract. Perkins also mentioned the current situation of the 76ers. He believes that George received the maximum salary to settle in the 76ers, which is the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the Clippers just did multiple-choice questions between Harden and George, and they were lucky. Choosing to keep Harden is not only a smaller annual salary, but also a stronger team leader. Perkins apologized for his comments, but he had never thought that the person who could make him apologize was Harden. If Harden hadn't taken the initiative to shoulder the role of leader while Leonard missed for half a season and maintained his record alone, people might have been resentful about letting George go. It was Harden who gave the outside world an illusion that the Clippers' strength has not decreased but increased, and he played a huge role in it.

The Clippers' combat power in the previous season, the probability of finding a star who can save the playoffs by 35 million is 0%. Sometimes Harden is also unlucky, and Paul is injured when he is the strongest. When he joined the Nets, he was injured when he had the most hope, and then he wanted to stay with the 76ers and was stabbed again. Hope to win the championship is like a meteor constantly passing through Harden. This year, Harden helped the Clippers get Bills and signed Paul, the strongest supporter of the past, which was Harden's last goal for the championship. If some of the referee factors in the past are removed, the league really owes Harden the first championship. His ending should have been in the Rockets' Great Perfection, rather than wandering around.
