Harden is old. The best choice is to re-sign a 2-year veteran contract to end the life of the Clippers

Look at Halliburton, the core of the Eastern Conference Champions Pacers, and then look at Alexander, the boss of the Western Conference Champions Thunder, fans can't help but sigh that the current NBA league has entered a new era of changing dynasties. The new generation of stars are rising, and the older generation of superstars are slowly withdrawing from the stage. Curry, Harden, James, Lillard, Butler... A glorious era is gradually over as these superstars grow old.

, Harden, who is most concerned by fans, has regained his second spring in the past season, with averaging 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game, which is no less than the popular "fried chickens" in the league! Such performance also made Harden regain the league's recognition and praise. The Best Three Team + All-Star is the best praise for Harden in the NBA.

The issue of Harden's contract renewal in the offseason has also become the focus of hot discussion in the league. At the season summary meeting, Clippers general manager Frank first affirmed and thanked Harden for his great contribution to the team, which made the team management full of confidence in the new season. It also expressed the team's plan for the future: the first priority is to renew Harden's contract and strengthen the team's shortcomings while reasonably avoiding taxes.

This actually shows the outside world that the Clippers will not pay luxury taxes next season to sacrifice future reinforcement of the team. This is not pleasant good news for Harden, who performed well this season. As a veteran who is already 36 years old next season, Harden's trading value in the free market has not increased due to his excellent performance. You should know that as a basketball sport, the age of 36 is already at the end of his career, and no team can have too many expectations for players of this age.

Harden's age has become the biggest obstacle for Harden to obtain a large contract with a maximum salary. You should know that players of this age no longer have the ability to win the key moment. No team can gamble on the future of a team with a 36-year-old future. The Clippers, which have been dragged down by Leonard and Paul George and have paid luxury taxes for many years, need to consider the future.

If a team wants to renew a player, the player's past performance will often be comprehensively considered. Harden's past history can be said to have caused a headache for any team after watching it. Harden is a player with a very high IQ and ball quotient. One fatal weakness of this type of player is that he is flexible in thinking too much, has serious emotions, and has weak willpower. And these weaknesses are exactly reflected in Harden.

During the Rockets, because of their dissatisfaction with the management, they used a negative game attitude to force the management to achieve their goal of leaving the team. During the Nets' period, it was because of the same negative game that forced the Nets' management to trade it to the 76ers. During the 76ers' period, he was rejected by the 76ers and even the league teams because of his emotional influence. The Clippers finally accepted the unwelcome Harden, which gave Harden a stable place to settle down.

Harden's childish behavior that only cares about his own personal feelings often has a huge negative impact on the team. It can be said that it has become a negative example and seriously damages the team's core interests. This is also something that no owner of any NBA team can allow. Harden is a dragon in the regular season and the playoffs is a dark history, which also makes Harden's value plummet. This makes Harden, who has excellent basketball talent, a "sweet rib" in the league. The management of each team knows Harden's ability, but he is also unacceptable to the childish behaviors that Harden often makes due to his emotions.

Regarding the current trading rumors about Ball and Holiday in the league, I personally think that it is more about some means and methods of the Clippers management. It's all about catching up on the wind and shadows. The purpose is to keep Harden at a low price. Harden faces nothing more than two paths: the player option to execute $36.3 million for the last year remains in the Clippers. After breaking out of the contract, find a new boss. The current owner of the Clippers, Ballmer, seems to have changed his mind and no longer spends money crazy for the championship, but is more rationally waiting for Leonard to embark on a reconstruction journey after the end of his contract.

The opening of the new stadium requires the team to have certain achievements to support the box office. Harden is exactly the best choice. Harden, who has strong regular season bottoming ability, has definitely deserved a large contract of more than US$35 million in the eyes of salary experts. Harden's team also seems to think that Harden will not be able to get a large contract of more than US$40 million in the free market. Therefore, the two-year contract of US$75 million issued by the Clippers should be at a reasonable price. The Clippers management even believes that Harden will renew his contract with the Clippers at a reasonable price of 70 million in two years and 90 million in three years. The Clippers management seems to be full of confidence in this! If the Clippers can give a two-year, $80 million contract, Harden will not hesitate to work with the money to help the Clippers survive the last two years before the reconstruction.

As Harden's hometown, many of Harden's businesses are in Los Angeles. As Harden's 36-year-old, returning to his roots may be a good choice. Harden, who has done a smooth business and is not short of money, believes that he will cut his salary and renew his contract for the future of the championship and the Clippers team, and join forces with Leonard to win the Clippers' first championship trophy.

Harden, who is currently preparing for an Adidas China trip in Los Angeles, believes that he will make the right choice before June 29. Fans who have followed Harden for more than ten years have not had many days to belong to Harden. Cherish every game of Harden! It doesn't matter whether the championship is a winner or not. It's already satisfying to see Harden play on the field. After Harden retired, he decisively broke the NBA!
