The source of the Clippers infighting has been found, and George can't bear to refuse the temptation of $300 million in five years and leave the team next season

Since the Clippers traded James Harden, after a period of painful running-in, they quickly won a wave of consecutive victories, jumping from the position they got to the top four in the West.

Just when everyone thought that the Clippers had gathered the Big Three and were finally going to win the championship trophy, it turned out that the Clippers after the All-Star Game were like a big hole, the hull was dilapidated, and it was crazy to enter the water, looking like it was about to sink in the sea. All the players are like they are languishing, the state of the whole team is not up to the spirit, and the Clippers have suffered many defeats after the All-Star break, especially against strong teams in the East and West. Although it still maintains the fourth position, this fourth position is already unstable, and it may be squeezed down by many teams behind it at any time.

With the decline in performance, the contradictions between the generals and coaches in the team and the infighting between the players are becoming more and more obvious. Recently, a number of media and a number of well-known reporters have broken the news that a verbal conflict broke out in the locker room of the Clippers, so much so that owner Ballmer had to personally go down to comfort both sides. Now there is more and more evidence that the source of the real infighting in the Clippers is still the problem of the playing style of Paul George and Harden, George has reached the contract year, and Philadelphia is willing to give him a five-year and $300 million long contract, after the Clippers have not won the championship for many years, George has been a little unbearable.

Now that there is a large contract amount in front of him, he will be tempted by a person. And teammates are also aware of this problem, and the reality is that the Clippers can't finalize George's new contract, which has led to a constant relationship between the two sides, and they can't calm down and communicate. After Harden came to the Clippers, he did not return to his peak state, and at the same time there were some conflicts with coach Tyronn Lue, coupled with George's contract renewal problem, which made the whole team panic, and the team was getting worse and worse, accompanied by more and more problems.

For example, the most important thing for the Clippers to do is to stabilize the mentality of the players, finalize the signing contract as soon as possible, sign it if it can, and pull it down if it doesn't sign, so that all players can take a reassuring pill.
