Two players from the Clippers have surfaced! Simmons is useless, Harden may sign a contract to stay in the team

On May 10, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the Clippers have begun to prepare for next season, and the team lost to the Nuggets 3-4 in the first round. The Clippers' lineup will not be reorganized this summer, but it is basically a small fight. After all, many players have contracts, and some players whose contracts expire may have to leave the team, and two of them have surfaced.

The first choice is Simmons. He joined the team after being bought out by the Nets this season. He was originally looking forward to him to help, but unfortunately his role is not great. He played 18 games in the regular season, averaging only 2.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game; but in the playoffs, he was not very useful, and he was directly abandoned in the last two games. In this way, the possibility of the Clippers leaving him is almost zero, and they will definitely look for some other players to improve the competitiveness of the lineup.

For Simmons, after leaving the 76ers, he is no longer a talented player of the past, and his poor offensive performance has caused him to lose his main position. Now Simmons' offensive threat on the court is basically zero, and he rarely hits the basket after getting the ball. He is more about transitioning the ball. In addition, he has no shooting ability, so it is still difficult to stay in the league today. Once he is unable to get a new contract, he may be forced to return to the Australian League. The second person is Kofi, who was completely abandoned by the Clippers. He still performed well at the beginning of the season and had three-point shooting ability, but unfortunately his defense was very bad. At the end of the season, he was kicked out of the rotation, and he didn't play in a single game in the playoffs and never played when he lost his suspense. As the contract expires, I believe he is not very happy to stay. After all, there are not many opportunities. Compared to Simmons, he may get the attention of some teams in the free market.

Finally, let's take a look at the situation of James Harden. He holds the player options this summer. He is probably going to choose to jump out of the contract and then sign a new contract with the Clippers. It is obvious that Harden is unlikely to leave the team, after all, he still has a good performance here, and he does not have much market in the free market unless he accepts a very low-priced contract. The biggest possibility now is that Harden jumps out of the contract and signs a new contract with the Clippers to stay in the team.
