Harden’s affair froze. The situation is a bit awkward, and the statements of all parties are not conducive to harden:
76 people didn’t mean to complete Harden, they wanted to get back enough assets;
Clippers are a little interested in Harden, but they are not interested in it. They are unwilling to give up too many assets;
Except for the Clippers, you can’t even hear Harden’s second gossip.
The background of this pulling situation is that the pioneers and the Heat also froze. 76 people may have an expectation that “if Lillard’s transaction is completed, the market’s interest in Harden will increase. Harden’s insistence is that the transaction can only take place between 76 people and the Clippers, and there will be no second next-Home participation if it is dragged down.
The Clippers put on a lukewarm attitude. They only need to pay a little more chips, and the negotiation will be much smoother. But the Clippers just don’t want to take another step forward. The Clippers have doubts about their prospects. The injuries of brother Kazi and George have destroyed the past three seasons. If such a thing happens, the management must plan the future well.
You can look at the operation logic of Clippers this summer:
First, low-key and conservative. Compared with the radical reinforcement in the past few years, the Clippers have no big moves this summer. One of their biggest tasks was to participate in the poshen transaction, and almost arrived at broghden with junk contracts and leftover material assets. The deal fell through due to Brogden’s injury. Considering the limited assets paid by the Clippers and the prospect of fighting power after Brogden recovered to health, it is possible for the Green Army to add a little compensation and bet on it. But the Clippers refused to go to the gambling table. It can be seen that they were very cautious.
After that, the Clippers got little Martin, which is the same as taking Highland before. As a high-salary team that overdrafts the first round of signing, Clippers need to supplement young combat power to provide growth.
And then what?
No, then. Martin and Kobe Brown, the first round show, are the only two strong Clippers from leave allowances to today. The Clippers left weishao and pramley, which were also planned. Because salary slip was too explosive, they laid off Eric Gordon, and the team Gordon joined was their important competitor in the West, just eliminated their sun. The Clippers would not expect such a result. If there is any other way, the Clippers should not do the operation of the enemy-however, there is really no other way.
Big landlords, big local tyrants, have been so calm in the past month or so. This is not a fast ship, not Ballmer.
Second, rumors of George’s transaction came out. Although there is a voice of trading George every summer, it is basically the YY plan of the reporter or the fans themselves. The Clippers should not have been serious about this before. This summer is different. Clippers have ideas about George’s trial in the trading market. Although their trial may not be sincere, Clippers need to have plans in various possibilities, and to take a favorable position in George’s contract renewal negotiations.
The Clippers are a little confused now. Although they expressed their determination to continue to build a team around Ka Jiao at the first time after they were out, you should know that the team’s position has Strategy-Ka Jiao will have player options next summer, you can jump out of the contract and leave the team. If you don’t stabilize your military heart first, the loss may be even greater.
Leonard is 32 and George is 33. The two played 161 games and 189 games respectively in the past four years. If you complete the renewal in advance, you can imagine the attendance of 36-year-old clip and 37-year-old pepper. However, don’t you renew the contract in advance? Let them leave the team as free agents next summer? Or just continue one, send the other away, to avoid too many people on the court to watch the excitement?
This is a very troublesome situation. The biggest achievement of capsicum in the Clippers was to put the team into a western battle, which was certainly not enough to adopt the old contract naturally. But the huge sunk cost is there. If the Clippers give up, their ordeal over the past four years looks like a fool. It should not be an acceptable prospect for the Clippers to continue investing in order not to become a fool, and then to have the opportunity to become a bigger fool.
The Clippers need a more insurance plan. They can’t get a capsicum in vain. Renewing a contract beneficial to the team is the expected result of the Clippers, such as shorter years and lower salaries, some terms about injury protection team and so on. It is not excluded that the Clippers won a major victory in the renewal of the capsicum contract, but realistically speaking, capsicum has left next summer as a threat, and there will be no shortage of licks on the market. Negotiation will not be easy, and suspense will not be revealed immediately, because George’s advance renewal will not start until September 1st. If the negotiation results are not good, you can’t rule out the idea of the Clippers continuing to trade George.
The future direction of Clippers is variable. In this case, it is necessary for them to maintain restraint and strengthen their thinking. You cannot make the situation more chaotic before the main task is completed. It is not difficult for them to guess the attitude of Harden:
Harden is not bad, even if it is not the peak version, make sense, combine a few small changes and pull them over, and lead the team with the young master. Even if the attendance of capsicum continues to be touching, the regular season guarantee is enough;
But then what? Harden will also become a free agent in 2024. Do you want to renew him?
The matter of capsicum has not been fixed yet. If you start another contract that is also difficult to renew, you will have a big head when you think about it. If the matter of capsicum is settled and the future direction of the Clippers is clear, they may be more attentive to harden. But now, the price quoted by the Clippers to Harden can only follow this principle-there is no negative impact on the uncertain future. If Harden leaves the team with freedom in the future, the Clippers do not want to bear any losses. In other words, take the broken copper and white iron and exchange the expired contract, which can be done. When it comes to future assets, consider more.
Look at 76 people again.
Like the Clippers, 76 people are “honest” this summer “. They released Niang, Milton, Jay Mike Daniels, renewed Reed, signed Beverly, Bamba from the free market, they signed a contract with Philip petrashev, a second-round show they chose two years ago, and then there was no operation. For 76 people who want to “make a big deal” every year, this year’s action is very conservative.
76 people are also standing at a crossroads full of suspense in the future. Harden doesn’t have to talk about it. 76 people still have to pay attention to the movement of enbide-to reason. At present, 76 people have gathered all the prerequisites for “The Master dreams are in another country:
I have been stuck in the division finals for many years, and my results have not improved;
Asset reserves are exhausted and the potential for strength growth is limited;
Since leave allowances, the team has not made substantial reinforcement;
The master will be promoted to MVP, and he will pay more attention to the great honor of the team after starting with the honor of the NPC;
The master will be over 30 years old, and the sense of urgency towards career prospects will increase;
Another core of the team and the management are all over the city.
The last star who gathered these prerequisites was harden. One year later, Harden left the team.
Enbide has not been officially in trouble yet, but it seems only a matter of time before he shows his impatient mood to the management. Before that, can 76 people handle everything?
76 people are still depressed, probably because they have two guarantees:
Large bottom guarantee. Enbide’s contract will last until the summer of 2027. He is now 29 years old. Next door, Lillard is 33 years old, and the contract can jump out by 2026 (he should not jump out). He is designated to go to Miami. The pioneers still insist on getting enough returns from the Lillard deal. 76 people have no reason to get more assets from enbide;
Small bottom guarantee. Let’s assume that 76 people will do nothing in the next year, and they will have the ability to pay 30% of the top salary on the basis of keeping maxi and Melton Bird rights next summer. If you dispose of Tucker, you can make sure to pay 35% of the salary.
That is to say, even if 76 people can’t trade out Harden all the time, leave him to training camp, and then no matter how angry Harden chooses, 76 people will be able to strengthen the space under the hat leave allowances next year. Of course, this is a risky operation method, because there may be no big names in the market next summer. If capsicum, Jay, and heavy eyebrows all complete the renewal in advance, the most attractive star is siacam-from this perspective, there are not only the Clippers but also 76 people waiting for the renewal of the contract-but this is indeed a kind of thing that cannot be ruled out, it is also a flexible operation mode.
Let’s assume that the plot has reached the small guarantee step, and the settlement of 76 people on the harden transaction is:
Harden spent one and a half years to two and a half years (depending on whether Harden is willing to play for 76 people next season), at least two years of playoff;
Lost little curry and Drummond;
Lost the first round of 23 years, the first round of 27 or 28 years;
After dealing with Ben Simmons’s garbage contract, 40 million of the space under the hat was released (expired in the summer of 25, 24-25 season 40.3 million).
In this way, even if Harden left the team with freedom, 76 people did not lose.
Therefore, 76 people dared to offend Harden.
The situation of the Clippers and 76 people was there, and Harden himself was unlucky.
Of course, everyone knows that Harden’s salary reduction last year was mostly tacit with the management. The dog did a similar operation in the rocket-Paul performed the player option transaction to the rocket, and the rocket gave Paul a big contract the next year. Harden can trust the dog. In addition to years of working together, this case is also a reference.
The problem is that the situation at this moment is different from that at that time:
In 18 years, the Rocket won 65, the first in the league, and fought with the universe to rob seven. Regardless of what happened afterwards, at that time, the situation of the rocket was good, which was the background of Paul’s big contract;
What about 76 people today? The end of the second round of Wannian has not changed, and there is no prospect of continuing to move up.
More importantly, think about the plot after Paul signed the contract and the cost of the rocket sending him away. Can you guess whether the dog will forget this?
Harden only saw the bright side of things, but ignored the dark side, which is the part that needs more reference in making decisions. Although credit is valuable, it is definitely not worth 4 years and 0.21 billion years.
It’s hard for you to evaluate this matter about Harden. On the one hand, Harden was the victim, and his salary was reduced to complete the team, but the team did not complete him. His sacrifice is worthy of admiration, and the ruthlessness of the management of 76 people is shocking.
On the other hand, you will be surprised by Harden’s innocence.
If Harden had fought for a long appointment last summer, he would not get the top salary of 5 years, which was more likely to be a long appointment after salary reduction, but the situation would always be much better than now. Instead of taking this road, he chose to cut his salary and sign a 1+1 contract, giving 76 people room to operate, and at the same time allowing himself to reserve the opportunity to strive for a long contract in the future.
On the surface, this choice is a win-win situation. The only person who actually bears the risk is Harden, which means Harden invested the team and his own future with the more insurance income at present, gambling on the team’s success, and I can play a better state in the coming year. As a result, neither of these two things happened, and no one was willing to provide a return on the previous investment.
Similar to this story:
You have a sum of money in your hand, and you are unwilling to make a steady low-yield investment. Just a friend told you that he was going to do a big business and needed money. Friends invite you to participate in shares, which can not only solve your friends’ urgent needs, but also hope to get higher returns. Even, my friend told you, “if things don’t work out, the money will be returned to you”.
If it is really done, it is easy to say anything.
But failed? Can you really get the money back?
Be willing to bet and win.
