75 million contract renewal! Famous reporter revealed the Clippers offer, Harden s efforts were in vain, and Leonard got what he wanted

The Clippers were eliminated in the first round, which is actually quite regretful. They did choose a tough opponent. Based on the performance of the Nuggets against the Thunder in the second round, the Nuggets have the level of championship competition this year, and Jokic and Murray are very tough, including Gordon's various lucky balloons. The Clippers and the Nuggets are actually in the right place. Both sides are holding on to the opponent's core and allowing the character players to play singles. It's just that the Nuggets' character player hits, but the Clippers' miss it.

The Clippers' offseason mission is not a reconstruction, and they have no bargaining chips to rebuild. The draft picks were given to the Thunder in the trade between George. All the Clippers had to do was renew Harden's contract as planned and retain the basic regular season. According to famous reporter Zach Buckley, Harden is likely to stay in the Clippers. He will not execute the last year player option, but will jump out of the contract and continue to sign 1+1 with the Clippers. Under the 38-year-old clause, Harden's new contract will not exceed 2 years. Zach revealed that Harden and the Clippers are expected to sign $75 million for two years.

Compared with the 2-year and 70 million contract given last year, Harden's new contract received a salary increase of 5 million. Some fans said why Harden stayed in the Clippers? Isn’t it okay to go to another team to get 80 million in two years, or 100 million in two years? But unfortunately, many famous reporters reported that the contract Harden can get in the market is not much different from that of the Clippers. And there are not many strong teams that can provide Harden with contracts, and basically no room for them. The weak teams have to give rookies resources and will not sign old Harden.

If possible, Harden certainly wants to return to the Rockets, and the configuration there is indeed much better than the Clippers. But the Rockets still have the same attitude and don't want veterans. Previously, Rockets reporters reported that Durant was interested in joining the Rockets, but the Rockets were not interested. They want a star who is more compatible with the age of young people, and the letters are currently the Rockets' Sawha object. The Clippers' signing of Harden is also the best solution at present, and no one is more suitable than him.

Harden still contributed 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists in the regular season this season. Harden also Ceded 3 games in the playoffs, which is enough for the 36-year-old veteran. In terms of configuration, Leonard is the most worrying thing about the Clippers. After raising Kazi for half a season this year, he finally became healthy once in the playoffs. But it is still hard to say how long the chips can last in the new season. The Clippers have no draft picks, so it is wise to keep Harden and Zubac to maintain their regular season record.

Leonard also said that he felt healthy this year and had recovered his self-confidence, hoping to make a comeback next year. Staying Harden is also a key part of Leonard's plan, and it is considered a guaranteed score. In fact, Powell's Clippers can consider trading. In the entire playoffs, the Clippers rely on three basic sets of Harden, Leonard and Zubac. It’s better to see if there is a suitable new candidate. Frank has already had ideas in point guard and inside. In the fourth position, the Clippers should avoid Leonard from being on the top and reduce his body consumption. Signing is crucial, and substitute point guards are also needed to join the Clippers. The former famous reporter said that the Clippers wanted Collins and Brogdon to use the current salary structure of the Clippers. Powell may be a bargaining chip, Collins is the perfect fourth position, and his partner Zubac Clippers have a strong sense of space. Then Brogden is the quality point guard, the sixth qualified man. The Clippers' offseason task is actually very simple, which is to configure a new puzzle for the three basic plates.
