The Clippers ended their season's journey with 50 wins and a first-round tiebreak in the playoffs this season. The Clippers achieved good performance in the regular season and were eliminated after playing a tiebreak in the playoffs. Many fans have argued endlessly about Harden's merits and demerits. For a time, there were many different opinions from major media.
After the end of the tiebreak battle with the Nuggets, the Clippers quickly held a season press conference. At the meeting, General Manager Frank also talked about the issues of players staying and leaving and future development of the team that everyone is very concerned about. Frank gave high praise to Harden. He said: Harden fulfilled his promise to the team, which exceeded management's expectations. He is the only player in the league to enter the top ten in all scores, assists, steals and three-pointers. He is a great player and has excellent team leadership skills. The team was originally trading Harden as the third choice. However, when George left the team and Leonard was injured, Harden signed a contract with the team without hesitation, leading the team to a regular season record of 50 wins. It is the main contributor to the team's success this season. The management originally thought that the team's best result was around tenth place, and it was Harden's efforts that led the team into the playoffs. It can be said that the team got everything they wanted from Harden. Even more. The first issue at the moment is the player options for Harden and Batum. We respect Harden's personal choices.
Frank also said, "Harden and Leonard are still the core of the team's team building. We have achieved a very successful season." Regarding the team's offseason signings and strengthening issues that fans are very concerned about, Frank emphasized: "The team's inside line, organization and scorer will be the focus of strengthening. And it is necessary to make up for strong players." It is estimated that this round of tiebreak battle against the Nuggets completely stimulated the Clippers' management. Looking at the Nuggets Gordon's brave performance and Jokic's influx in the inside, the Clippers' management is probably envious!
The Clippers' biggest gain this season is that Leonard remains healthy at the end of the season, and he can have greater expectations next season. Harden has resisted the decline in ability caused by age and injuries, and has successfully transformed and entered the All-Star Game again is the best proof. Zubac has grown up quickly. It can be said that the basic structure of the Clippers has been initially formed.
Many more radical Clippers fans suggest the team to knock down and rebuild. But Leonard's unpredictable injury history has discouraged the league's teams. Harden's playoff attributes that cannot play hard in the playoffs also make it impossible for the league teams to buy. With two first-round trading signs in 2030 and 2032, except for Eubanks's US$4.75 million non-guaranteed contract, all employees' salary charts are valid guarantee contracts. The Clippers, which do not have much room for trading operations, maintaining their existing team lineup is indeed the best choice at the moment.
But what if Harden, who is 36, falls in form next season? What to do if Leonard gets injured again? The team has lineup depth, but lacks stability. The team's fault tolerance rate is too low. Head coach Tyron Lu's coaching ability has always been criticized by the team. These fundamental problems cannot be solved by repairing them. The best solution is to rebuild. But what to rebuild? The Clippers no longer have many high-quality chips in their hands. The Clippers are really in a dilemma at the moment.
, and Harden's team has announced that it will break out of the contract. This is a good opportunity for the Clippers and Harden himself. Through Harden's expiration contract, the Clippers' salary contract was greatly released. The Clippers may have the bargaining chips to chase a potential young player, including Jabarry Smith of the Rockets, Trae Young of the Hawks, Jaren Jackson of the Jordan Miller, Christie, Kobe Brown, and Bowington, which are already in the team, the Clippers will have youthful vitality. The future is promising!
And for Harden, he has proved himself this season. In the offseason, you can just go to a championship team to be the second leader and a third leader to become a champion. The Timberwolves Conley is old and urgently needs a point guard. If the Bucks want to keep Antetokounmpo, someone must replace Lillard. Harden is the most suitable candidate.
And the Mavericks, a group of talented high forwards, lack point guards like Harden. Maybe it is a good choice to go to the Mavericks to join forces with Irving again. Don’t forget that the Mavericks and the inside giant Davis, the Mavericks took off in one go. Friends, you said yes!
I hope Harden will let go of his obsession as soon as possible and make the right choice! No matter what, I will go wherever Harden goes! Harden's retirement has since broken up with the NBA.
