On July 1, according to US media reports, Harden plans to sign a two-year, $70 million contract extension with the Clippers. Meanwhile, Paul George's contract extension with the Clippers has not gone well and is likely to sign with the 76ers at the maximum salary.

Harden was traded to the Clippers by the 76ers last year, and played in 72 regular season games after joining, averaging 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.3 minutes per game, shooting 38.1% from three-point range; In the playoffs, Harden played in 6 games, averaging 21.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal in 40.3 minutes per game, shooting 38.3% from three-point range.

On July 1, Shams reported from The Athletic, several sources revealed that Harden plans to sign a two-year, $70 million contract extension with the Clippers for a second year, with a player option for the second year. $33653846 for the '24-25 season and $36346154 for the '25-26 season.

Shams said Harden's three agents have been working with Clippers management to finalize a new contract. Yahoo Sports reporter Jake Fischer reported that several sources said that Harden's contract is fully guaranteed.

Previously, Woj reported that the Clippers would offer Harden more than twice the salary of the middle class, more than $25 million, and the Clippers gave Harden 10 million more money by this standard, but the tenure was only 2 years, and Harden would be 37 years old at that time. It can be seen that the Clippers want to keep the team's salary below the second luxury line.

George, on the other hand, tested the free market by refusing to exercise his $48.79 million player option for the 2024-25 season. According to sources, the 76ers are willing to offer George a four-year, $212 million max contract.

Woj said that George's agent and the Clippers president had a brief communication and failed to reach a contract extension, and the two sides reached a consensus that it was impossible for George to return to the Clippers.

George reportedly met with the 76ers, Clippers and Magic after free agency opened. Currently, the 76ers are the frontrunners for George's next home, and the two sides will meet in California today.

In this regard, netizens have said, "Pickled pepper must be gone"

"Why is George 50 million? Or my brother Deng is cost-effective! ”
