Free, refuse to renew your contract! The Clippers are the first to leave the team! Harden, the whole world has misunderstood you...

With the Clippers being eliminated, this Simmons season ended, all his contracts expired, and he will become a free agent this summer.

Simmons' performance in this round of the series is a disaster. His defense occasionally has highlights, but his offense is almost zero and there is no basket in his eyes. The entire series shot 6 times, with a total of 4 points and 11 fouls. According to Law Murray, the Clippers are not expected to renew Ben Simmons. They will focus on the next two offseasons to keep the team's salary below the first tycoon line and maintain flexibility.

is free, the Clippers are the first to leave the team!

In fact, few people in the outside world have paid attention to Simmons. The most hotly discussed by the US media is Harden, the Clippers' core leader. Harden's performance in the playoffs has aroused doubts from the media and fans. Some netizens rumored on Clippers social media: "Harden is the most unscrupulous super giant I have ever seen." "I scored 7 points in the tiebreak, and Harden's dictionary was a Chinese dictionary." It is regrettable that the Clippers fell in the first round of the playoffs again, but to be honest, Harden should not take the blame. Fans who have seen the whole season will not be bad for Harden. With Leonard missing 40 games in the regular season, Harden led the team into the playoffs with a single core. After George left the team in the offseason last year, no one was optimistic about the Clippers' prospects. However, the 35-year-old Harden once again showed his ability to support the bottom. Moreover, Harden's performance in the playoffs is also remarkable. He averaged 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block in the series, with a three-point shooting percentage of 36.4%. Except for the three-point shooting percentage slightly lower than Van Vleet, the other data was crushed in all aspects, and Harden's salary was nearly 10 million less than Van Jordan.

He did not stand up in a critical battle. On the one hand, he was not able to solve his inner demons, and the biggest reason was Tyron Lu's on-site command problem.

The overall strength of the Clippers is comparable to that of the Nuggets. The Clippers have an advantage in lineup depth, while the Nuggets' starting five tigers are stronger. The point of the game between the two sides lies in whether they can make good use of their advantages. Obviously, the Nuggets are very clear about this. They won this round of the series by starting hard, and the bench activated Westbrook, making the Clippers even more difficult to play. The Clippers lacked the No. 4 position in the starting lineup, Tyron Lue has never been determined to increase the forward time, and he is a little overprotected by Leonard. Harden often needs to face off against the teacher and Gordon, which consumes a lot of defensive end. On the offensive end, Tyron Lu also relied too much on Harden. Harden started his personal offensive mode to win the game. In the tiebreak, the fools knew that the Nuggets would double-team Harden, but Tyron Lu did not have any adjustment strategy for this. You can't expect Harden to explode in every game. You should know that Harden only rested for 80 seconds in the last game, and it was almost burned out.

The Clippers' performance this season has far exceeded expectations. They can get the opportunity to play these 7 games. Harden is a well-deserved first hero and he deserves more respect.
