Harden s signing of the Clippers negotiations are in a deadlock. Ball s three goals may become the turning point of Harden s negotiations

Currently, there are only 4 teams left in the NBA to make the final struggle for the championship. Other team management has begun active team reinforcement operations during the offseason. The most popular fans are concerned about Harden of the Clippers. Harden, who holds the player options in the offseason, is undoubtedly a big fish in the offseason free market. Harden has won numerous honors this season, and has been in the All-Star again after 5 years, won the best third team, and won the MVPtop 10. The most attractive teams in the league is Harden who entered the league for 16 seasons. This season, it was all alone to bring a group of role players to the playoffs.
Strong bottom-up ability, magical cultivation of character players, and durable physical talent have made the 35-year-old veteran rejuvenate again. This season, Harden averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, and is a stable top double-level guard, and can switch freely in both scoring and organization modes. It can be said that Harden has successfully transformed this season and has once again gained recognition from the NBA through his own efforts. Harden, who is such an excellent person, thought he would receive more care from the Clippers' management, but he often "the ideal is full and the reality is skinny." Harden's excellent performance naturally raised Harden's value. This puts unprecedented challenges in the Clippers management, which has tax avoidance as its main future development goal. I thought Harden's contract could be matched with Leonard's time, and the team could have more room for adjustment and even rebuild after it expired. Harden, who performed beyond expectations, completely caught the Clippers management off guard.
Faced with a two-year, $75 million "unsweet" contract renewal, the Harden team seems to be more inclined to seek a large contract that is 3 years or even longer. Due to Harden's excellent performance this season, many teams in the league have begun to pay attention to Harden, and it seems that Harden has become "hard to go" now. This is definitely bad news for the Clippers management. Harrison, general manager of the Mavericks team, actually began to contact Harden's team privately and gave a more reasonable offer of US$100 million in three years. You should know that Dallas' tax revenue is very low. This offer is definitely a conscientious price for the Mavericks. And promised Harden greater room for development. Think about Harden + Irving + Davis + Clay + Lively and a group of high-quality forward players and young No. 1 pick Flag. It feels terrible to think about it. Faced with the Mavericks' sincerity, I wonder if Harden is already moved?
You should know that if the Clippers avoid taxes during the offseason, Harden needs to reduce his salary if he wants to strengthen. The Clippers, which only operates at $15 million, really don’t have much bargaining chips. If Harden is sure to stay in the team, once the "glass card" Leonard is injured again, Harden's dream of winning will be completely shattered. This may be the main reason why Harden has not yet made a clear reply to the Clippers management!
The worried Clippers management was helpless against Harden. Because if Harden does not sign the contract, the team's reinforcement plan will not be able to be carried out in an orderly manner. At this time, a name was frequently mentioned, that is the Hornets' star point guard Lamelo Ball. This name has been frequently associated with the Clippers recently. Even his older brother Lonzo Ball once hinted that Lamero may be traded to the Clippers.
And this seems not to be groundless! In 2020, LaMelo Ball averaged 25.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game last season, with gorgeous data and extraordinary talent. More importantly, he is only 22 years old. Lamelo's popularity seems to be even better than Harden in the United States. The Clippers' new Intuition Dome Stadium seems to be in desperate need of the young star to serve as the box office.
And for the sake of Lamero Clippers, it seems that they are more willing to bet. At present, if you use chips to Powell + Bogdan + Dunn + a first round, I believe the Hornets will not refuse such chips at all. But once LaMelo, Leonard, and Harden have, the team's ball rights distribution will once again expose the problem. As for the level of head coach Tyron Lue, I can only say...!
, and Lamero Ball's vitreous physique is not inferior to Leonard. The young Lamelo Ball has only played 47 games this season. If Lamelo really trades successfully, the Clippers will really become a "patient hospital". And it will have a huge impact on Harden. First of all, Harden, whose ball rights are restricted, will play more off-balls, which is another huge test for Harden. Harden had to cut his salary to facilitate the deal. These are things that Harden cannot accept at the moment.
It seems that the timing of this rumor appears to be a huge pressure for Harden. Maybe this may be one of the means by which the Clippers management can suppress Harden’s price! I hope the last contract of Harden's career can be more rational. If you don’t work, just leave! Don’t be wronged yourself anymore.
