Better than Shin Kyung! Beverly is right, Harden is worth $80 million

Basketball

In the NBA's 24-25 best lineup, Harden beat Rockets center Shin Kyung and successfully entered the third team. The last time Harden was selected for the best team was in 2020. It is worth mentioning that Harden's career is either first or third, and no second. This also shows how powerful Harden was during the Rockets, and he won 6 times in one round. From the 13-14 season to the 19-20 season, Harden has been quite stable every year. The 20-21 season was a turning point, leaving the Rockets for the championship.

Unfortunately, Harden failed to get what he wanted during this period of wandering outside. What's even more regrettable is that after Harden left the Rockets, he never got it again every year. Then in terms of the big contract, Harden first refused the Rockets for 100 million in 2 years, and then refused the Nets for 162 million in 3 years. The contracts in these five years have all reached 260 million. If Harden renews his contract with the Rockets for two years before leaving the team, and then agrees to renew his contract with the Nets, Harden will now have a 50 million annual salary.

After all, Harden can leave the Rockets for the championship, but not signing the maximum salary is his most wrong decision, especially reducing the salary for the 76ers. This is definitely a dark spot in Harden's career. He got nothing and was insulted. Harden is now 70 million in the Clippers for two years, even if the Clippers are preparing to raise Harden’s salary to 75 million in two years during the offseason this year. But this contract is a very different one than Harden rejected.

Many people say that Harden didn't play well in the playoffs. But Harden's performance in the playoffs this year is actually similar to Jimmy Butler. He gets an annual salary of 60 million, and compared with the Pacers Halliburton data, Harden is almost the same. As Beverly said, what is Harden sorry for the Clippers? As the second in command of the team, Harden also C played 3 games in the playoffs, 2 games were average, 1 game was super ghost, and there were not many moves in the tiebreak, because the Nuggets and Clippers strategies were both locked in the opponent's main players and let the role players decide. The role players of the Nuggets exploded, that's all.

Beverley said: "I don't know why the outside world criticized Harden's performance in tiebreak. Look at his age and his consumption in the regular season. Harden brought the Clippers into the playoffs. Do you remember the beginning of the season? Leonard was injured. The Clippers were considered to be a team that could only win 33 games. But Harden accepted the role of the Clippers. He helped Zubac and Powell become better. He activated the Clippers, so they entered the playoffs."

2 years and 70 million. With Harden's ability to guarantee the playoffs, where can't he get 70 million? In the league where big contracts are running all over the ground, it only has an annual salary of 35 million yuan, but can average 22 points and 10 assists per game, and can help the team to guarantee the bottom. This is a rare treasure. Even if the Clippers raise Harden's salary by 75 million this year, the additional 5 million yuan will only be a one-year increase of 2.5 million yuan. Perhaps for the Clippers, the failure of this year's playoffs has made them disheartened by the championship.

Because of the healthy Leonard, he still fell in the first round. Leonard's performance throughout the playoffs is far from the peak God of War Card. What's the meaning? The clip may not be able to go back. Harden is now a difficult choice. Is it to leave the Clippers? Or stay with the Clippers? If you leave the Clippers, the most suitable team for Harden may be the Mavericks. There is a ball-holding core there, and the team configuration is also suitable for Harden. Staying in the Clippers, the team saw no hope, and there was a rumor that even suggested that the Clippers trade Leonard in advance to get rebuilding chips. Ballmer has begun to avoid taxes, and even he doesn't want to spend money in vain. To put it bluntly, there is no confidence in Leonard.
