In the finals G5 defeated the Mavericks, the Celtics won the 18th championship in team history, surpassing the Lakers' 17, the most in the league, and according to the latest reports, the Green Army will renew Tatum and White in advance in the offseason, which means that their core lineup can be maintained, and there is a possibility of creating a dynasty in the future. However, after the Green Army won the championship, Harden suddenly lay down, according to NBA big data statistics, as Horford won the championship in the 186th playoff game of his career, he gave up the position of the most untitled active players in the playoffs to Harden (166 playoff games), and Paul did not win the championship in 2,149 playoff games.

Then there are George Hill (144 games, no retirement has been announced), Westbrook (122 games), and Butler (119 games), that is, Harden is already the most untitled player in the playoffs among active players, which is a very embarrassing record and also highlights Harden's helplessness. At the peak of the Rockets, Harden met the Universe Brave, born at the wrong time, the most regrettable in 18 years, the Rockets originally led the Warriors 3-2 in the Western Finals, but unfortunately Paul was injured and the Rockets fell short. After joining the Nets, Harden also ushered in a good opportunity to compete for the championship, but was destroyed by a kick from Brother Alphabet, and if Irving was not reimbursed that year, the Nets would really have reached the top.

After Irving began to behave again, Harden had to apply for a trade again, after joining the 76ers, the combination of Harden and Embiid was not successful, the two were not compatible, Embiid was obviously a center, he had to dribble like a guard, and Harden could only sacrifice data in order to become a great emperor, and it was Embiid's credit to win, if he lost, Harden without data had to take the blame, this couldn't be tolerated, staying in the 76ers couldn't see the hope of winning the championship at all, Harden had to join the Clippers again, originally they were the favorites to win the championship, and the Big Four were compatible with each other, If there is a high probability of reaching the top if healthy, Leonard will not play again, and the Clippers will lose 2-4 to the Mavericks in the first round.

To sum up, sometimes it's really not Harden's own reason, and it is no exaggeration to say that the healthy Clippers are really not afraid of any team, they should have the best hope of breaking out of the West, even if they meet the Green Army, with the Clippers' lineup. Harden is 34 years old, when will he win the championship? This offseason, Harden is a free agent, this time whether to renew the Clippers, or to join other teams, Harden will definitely choose seriously, for two reasons, the first is that as mentioned earlier, Harden is no longer young, and there is really not much time left for him. Second, Harden has realized that there should be little hope of staying with the Clippers, because George is basically determined to leave.

Compared with Harden, George knows better in his heart that he can't win the championship by cooperating with Leonard, and the omnipotent Raptors in 19 years can't come back, so George already has the idea of leaving the team, during this time he and Embiid are very close, and according to the latest reports, Embiid has also launched a recruitment campaign for George, and the 76ers are also very interested in signing George, as long as he nods and agrees, that is to say, George is counting down to leaving, as long as George leaves, then Harden will not stay in the Clippers, George is very important, without him, rely on Leonard +Harden's combination with the Clippers won't win a championship, and no one can guarantee whether Leonard will be healthy next season.

I'm afraid that the regular season will be fine, and the playoffs will not be played, then Harden will have to lead the team single-core, and there is no play in winning the championship, so George's whereabouts will definitely affect Harden's choice, the Clippers hope that Harden will renew his contract, but the reality is very skinny, Harden does not dare to make a decision easily now, the culprit of this situation is Leonard, the small card delayed the Clippers for five years, resulting in problems with the mentality of George and Harden, they no longer have hope for the Clippers and Leonard, otherwise George would have renewed his contract a long time ago. One of the more advantageous things about Harden now is that his contract has expired, and he has the final say on where he wants to go.

As early as the regular season, Harden said that the pursuit of a big contract was no longer his first consideration, and the execution of the player option last offseason is the best proof of this, the beard only wants to win the championship now, and does not want to retire with regrets, which means that Harden can accept a salary cut, and even sign a base salary, and Wei Shao is in a similar situation. In fact, frankly speaking, since the salary can be sacrificed in order to win the championship, then Harden might as well join a better team, such as joining the Nuggets is completely feasible, Harden is very good to play a substitute, the Nuggets are losing on the bench this year, and Harden can be a perfect supplement.
