There is not a single quiet day in the NBA, If it is not a transfer, it is inflammatory statements or any incident that completely changes the course of a franchise. In this case it is the near future of james harden that following announcing to the four winds that His only wish is to sign for the Clippershas received the worst possible news from California.
And it is that according to account The Athletic, Kawhi Leonard would be seriously considering trying his luck in free agency in 2024. That is to say, that the trio formed by HardenPaul George y Leonard would last a single season, since, according to what was told, the forward does not plan to extend his contract with the California franchise.
Kawhi will be, without a doubt, the best player on the squad, the player who arrives arrives. Which causes that without him, the franchise will have to rethink what it is going to do. The forward has shown that, whenever he is healthy he is one of the five best players in the world. All this thanks to an offensive efficiency that, added to the best perimeter defense in the leagueconvert to Leonard in a practically perfect cyborg.
Relief for LeBron James and the West
The western conference is already rife with enough talent as for some Clippers that, when they are healthy they scare, join them James Harden. In this sense, that Harden does not reach the neighboring franchisesurely it will leave a calmer LeBron James that you already have enough Denver, Memphis, Golden State, Phoenix y Sacramento.
On the other hand, although it is true that a Big 3 formed by Harden, George and Leonard is very scaryNotably His health will be a very important aspect ahead of the 82 games of the regular season.. And it is that none of the three players has been able to reach 60 games played. Some figures that should worry the Clippers y that they would do well rethink whether it is worth betting on a trio that is unable to stay healthy throughout the year and whose ages begin to be worrying since Kawhi is 32, George 33 and Harden 33, So they already see the start of a performance downturn that might come at any time.
