Talk about Harden, mention this person, in fact, many fans have mixed impressions of him, many people like Harden's style of play, because he decides the lower limit of a team, there are also many fans who hate Harden to the bone, because of that opportunistic way of playing, so many people flock to him, but it is undeniable that no matter what kind of performance Harden plays, we must admit that Harden is the top dual point guard in the active league.
When Harden got all the honors in his hands, he, like most of his NBA predecessors, set his sights on the championship, and even gave up the sky-high contract offered by the Rockets for him, even if he was no longer the leader, Harden had already made up his mind, just to win the championship, unfortunately, God made a big joke with him, Harden joined forces with Durant and Irving to form the most luxurious lineup in the league, helpless is injury and various unfavorable factors, and finally let them fall apart. Harden himself was even worse off under the influence of the new rules and injuries, and in the end, Harden chose the 76ers to join forces with Embiid.
In fact, just after joining the 76ers, Harden's performance is obvious to all, but after the sweet honeymoon period, Harden was finally beaten back to the original form, and even the poor performance was not as good as in the Nets period, not only some fans said that Harden's self-reducing style of play, the injured will only be himself, want to maximize the salary to renew basically there is not much possibility, but Xiao Feng feels that everyone is worried, even if Harden has fallen more seriously, the 76ers will not give up Harden, will definitely choose the maximum salary to renew, the following Xiao Feng talks about his views.
First of all, Harden is not incompetent, but Harden has been sacrificing himself in the past two years. Why Harden was strong at that time, it was because all the tactical cores were around Harden, he could concentrate on attacking without any other concerns, it turned out that such a way of playing has always been difficult to win the championship, and finally Harden himself chose to change, whether it was the original Nets or the current 76ers, Harden's most obvious change is the reduction of the number of shots, in fact, we all know that it is not Harden who is incompetent, but Harden who covers his edge.
Secondly, the 76ers also understand the importance of Harden, although Rivers said that he hopes harden to enhance his personal offense, but who can organize the team, there is no suitable candidate in the team, in the process of getting Harden, the 76ers paid a "heavy" price, not only hollowed out the strength of the second team, and even lost the first round of picks, if the management is only for the use of these dozens of games, then the management of the 76ers unless it is less money and more. Embiid is alone, and no matter what the future holds, management will do everything in their power to keep Harden, and only then can they remain competitive enough in the East in the next few years.
Finally, the benefits brought by Harden have already made the management taste sweet, with the addition of Harden, the 76ers home tickets began to rise in price, in fact, this is the star effect, although embiid's data this season is good, but it must be admitted that his influence is far less than Harden. Sometimes, the team management recruits people, not only optimistic about the personal ability of the star, he brings value to the team far more than his own value. To take the simplest example, how many people paid attention to the 76ers before Harden joined the 76ers, but after Harden joined, how much attention the 76ers received.
Summary: Fans do not need to worry about whether Harden can renew his contract with the maximum salary, in Xiao Feng's view, this is all a matter of ten to nine, unless Harden himself insists on leaving the 76ers, otherwise the management will do his best to renew Harden, whether it is Harden's data declines, believe it or not, as long as Harden flows into the free market, there will be many teams fighting for the head and blood, how can management give up such a feast?
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
