Harden was recognized by the league and won the league honors again. The Clippers management faces an embarrassing situation

Since Harden left the Rockets and let himself go to pursue his own championship dream, he has been displaced for so many years and has experienced the ups and downs of the NBA. Not only did you lose money, but you also ruin your reputation.
Nets defected to their elder brother Durant and were willing to be the third leader, but they were ruthlessly abandoned by their elder brother, deceived by the immortal Ou, and even suffered major injuries in their careers. Since then, Harden seems to have fallen into self-denial and loses his original self-confidence. Helplessly, the 76ers swallowed their anger for a champion, not only cut their salary but also changed their playing style to cater to the boss Embide. There is no way to deal with Morey's deception, like a child who has lost his parents and has no support, servile and forced a smile.
Harden, who is already 35 years old this season, faces doubts from the whole league, Harden, who has no choice but to burn his boats and carry the Clippers alone. Amid doubts across the league, he led the team to 50 wins and 32 losses and ranked fifth in the Western Conference. Although he lost to the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs in the tiebreak, Harden's all-around performance of 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 8.7 assists in the regular season has been fully recognized by the entire league. You know, this is a 35-year-old veteran who has played 79 consecutive games throughout the season.
After five years, Harden was selected as the All-Star again and won the honor of MVP candidate 10th. These are the 10 best players in the league! It is really commendable that Harden won such honor at the age of 35. After the experience of leading the team alone this season, Harden seems to be transforming little by little. Harden, who returned to confidence, is reborn in the ashes and rejuvenates for a second spring. Harden, who has successfully transformed, has become a real system player in the league and can be said to be the top dual-energy guard in the league. In terms of scoring and organization, Harden can switch freely. As long as he is physically energetic, Harden's influence on the court will be very terrible.
Harden, who worked hard like this, finally had good luck. On May 24, the NBA announced the All-A regular season team this season. Harden was incredibly on the list. After five years, Harden was once again selected for the Best Third Team. This is the second third formation that Harden has obtained again after 6 rounds and one third formation. And it is a result achieved when the age is as high as 35 years old. There are a group of new generations of young young people around
, and veteran Harden seems to be out of place, but it is so natural. The fans are really moved. You should know that the group of young people entering the third formation are not ordinary people! Cunningham, Towns, Halliburton, and Jaylenway are not the biggest names in the team. Harden is really strong in being among them. You should know that Rockets' junior star Shin Kyung is behind the old senior Harden!
The Clippers are now embarrassed. Faced with Harden, who has these honors, if the Clippers give an annual salary of less than US$40 million, where can they put this face? The key is that this influence seems to be too great. Harden, who has so many honors, was given a quote of less than 40 million US dollars by the Clippers. The entire league probably knows how stingy the Clippers are! Can other players in the league still be willing to join the Clippers? Harden has now become the "hot potato" of the Clippers.
For the Clippers, which are unwilling to pay luxury taxes to strengthen the team during the offseason, "picking up bargains" Harden has become an impossible task. The Clippers have given a 2-year negotiation chip of US$75 million, which is so "eye-catching". Although Harden has passed the peak, his unique playing style, his unique physique, and his efficient output of 22.8+5.8+8.7 per game are believed to be of great appeal to other teams in the league that have ideas for the champion.
Harden, who has won so many honors this season, seems to be the focus of the NBA's attention again. The outside world has already stated that Harden's next contract now starts at least US$40 million. The Clippers management really needs to consider carefully and carefully decide how to renew Harden's contract. It is estimated that Harden has now become a big fish in the free market in the offseason. If the Clippers don't take action, it is estimated that many teams in the league are ready to move.
The current Clippers' general manager Frank is expected to have a split headache, and the boss Ballmer slapped his thigh. I heard that the league has a rule: players enter the All-Star or the best team, and the salary of new contracts must increase by a certain extent. Harden has entered the All-Star again this season and the Best Third Team again. This annual salary of more than 36 million US dollars is probably impossible. If it rises by 20%, Harden's new contract will cost 43 million US dollars. This is reasonable to calculate the 2-year 90 million and 3-year 120 million. Harden's spring has finally come! No need to be so "depressed" anymore.
