On July 2, Beijing time, the NBA Thunder and former Knicks center player Hartenstein reached a three-year, $87 million contract, so that the Thunder once again increased their reliable combat effectiveness on the inside. The Knicks originally hoped to re-sign Harden, but they could only offer a four-year, $72.5 million contract with an early bird sign, and it is clear that the Thunder's contract is even more tempting, so that the Thunder have Holmgren and Harden as the two pillars of the interior in the new season!
27-year-old Harden, 2.13 meters tall, weighing 113 kilograms, plays as a center, plays for the Knicks in the 2023-2024 season, plays a total of 75 games in the regular season, starts 49 games, and plays 26 games off the bench, averaging 25.3 minutes per game, can get 7.8 points + 8.3 rebounds + 2.5 assists + 1.2 steals + 1.1 blocks, shooting 64.0% from the field, 33.0% from three-point range, and 70.0% from the free throw line.
Hatten played in a total of 13 games in the playoffs, averaging 29.9 minutes per game, scoring 8.5 points + 7.8 rebounds + 3.5 assists + 0.3 steals + 0.9 blocks, shooting 59.0% from the field, 50.0% from three-point range, and 86.0% from the free throw line.
