On the first day the free agent market opened, there was news of Harden. According to the Clippers reporter, Harden has finalized a new contract extension with the Clippers, which is a 1+1 two-year fully guaranteed contract with an amount of $70 million, an annual salary of 35 million, and a player option for the second year. Many people can't understand this contract, thinking that Harden is in a hurry and driving himself to the base salary step by step!
In fact, Harden has faith in himself in the first place! His contract is fully guaranteed, he is already 35 years old, but it also means that the next two years of income are worry-free, after all, the second year is a player option; Under this contract, he faces the following three outcomes!
1. Once he plays well in the new season, but the team can't see hope, he can still choose to jump out of the contract and sign the last big contract; It is normal to look at the data and status to sign a new contract, for example, James and Durant also signed a big contract at an advanced age, which mainly depends on the state of the players; Even if Harden can't compare to them, with an annual salary of 30 million, it is normal to do it for another three years!
2. If he plays well, the team has the hope of winning the championship, reaches the finals and even wins the championship, then he will also rise and renew his contract for two years in the summer, play four years in the Clippers as he wishes, and then retire; This is also a reasonable result!
3. He didn't play well, was in poor condition, and was even injured; You can also choose to execute the contract next year, and even if you are traded after your comeback, you will have one year to regain your value!
In general, don't look at the price is not high, but Harden is not a loss, and he can attack and retreat! I still hope to compete for the championship, which is more worthy of myself than going to the weak team to get 40 million, and I also think more highly of Harden, he still has his own heart!
PS: George is said to have informed Clippers management that he is signing with another team; In this case, the Clippers still have about 45 million reinforcement space, and the interior and backup point guards can be arranged!
There is also Wei Shao announcing the exercise of a 4 million player option, but the Clippers will still look for an opportunity to trade him when they see that he has been targeted too hard in the playoffs; If you can't, find a good backup point guard before the playoffs; It is said that it is the former defender of the Rockets, Bert Jr., who can come back in two years, and it has been negotiated!
In this way, Wei Shao can substitute the scoring guard in the regular season, and it is better to use less in the playoffs!
