Harden: Don’t always worry about my bad luck. My annual salary is only how much, where should I go this summer?

NBA playoffs are currently in full swing and are about to enter the finals. This summer’s deal is about to begin! I heard that this summer is very lively, and there are many big fish in the trading market that need to be changed, such as Antetokounmpo and Durant. There are also player options, such as James, Harden, Irving, etc., which are really exciting!

James Harden finally played the long-lost data in the second year of joining the Clippers, and the Nets are back! This season is not only selected as the All-Star after many years, but also selected as the Best Third Team, which is a gratifying congratulations! He even led the broken ship to advance rapidly and reached fifth in the Western Conference in the regular season. Unfortunately, I failed to go further in the playoffs and lost to the Nuggets in the tiebreak. So is Harden considered a success this season?

Although Harden failed two games in the playoffs, he may not even be able to enter the playoffs without Harden. This is his strength and his ability to support him. He is the first in the league. He can't accept it! Last year, Harden signed a "1+1" contract with the Clippers (the second year player option). Annual salary is completely inconsistent with the contribution of his team. Harden, who is already 35 years old this summer, needs a pension contract, at least a long-term meal ticket! As for the annual salary that is at least $36.3 million higher than the current $36.3 million, who would be willing to give it?

The Clippers want to continue to renew their contract with Harden, at least the same contract as Xiao Ka, and will continue until the 2026-27 season, in order to maintain flexibility. This will directly affect the Clippers' renewal period of Harden, and at the same time, the increase in Harden's salary renewal will affect the salary cap. Is this a bit difficult? How should Harden choose? Do you dare to rush and try the free market! Anyway, the Clippers have no hope of winning the championship! Instead of not winning the championship, it is better to earn more money. Why not do it? Then why not go directly to the Hornets? If the Hornets who can't support the mud into the playoffs, it's not even more awesome than winning the MVP. . .
