Where should Harden go at the age of 36? Data reveals the three advantages of the Clippers renewal
Harden's 36-year-old life multiple-choice question: I really have no choice in staying in the Clippers!
When Harden's final three-pointer hit the basket this year's playoffs, the beer in my hand almost spilled all over the floor - good guy, the bearded man who could kill someone by taking a step back then is now starting to be ruthless at the critical moment? Stats.NBA.com's cold data shows that those who can still be the core point guard in the playoffs at the age of 36 can count them with their fingers in the past 20 years. Old cannon Paul is one, and Nash, son of Wind, can only count it, and the rest... hey, it's all tears!
The first hurdle: Can a 36-year-old driver still drive?
Basketball-Reference gave a set of heart-wrenching data: the point guard has passed 35 years old, and the average ball usage rate has dropped by more than 12%. Harden was struggling to do 27% of the offensive rounds in each game last year, which was 10% less than during the Rockets' period. What do you think? In this way, he can still deliver a report card that is 18+9 per game! This level of free market is like the discounted pork ribs in the last half hour of the vegetable market - the championship team thinks it is old, and the bad team thinks it is expensive.
The Magic lacks point guards, but GM said in an interview with the Orlando Sentinels: "What we want is a young man who can run fast attacks with Ben Keiro, not an old man who needs the whole team to play mahjong with him." This sounds hurtful, but that's what Li'er is. Is the Clippers worth taking the ship?
1. The "release policy" by Lu is really good
Do you still remember the 76ers' chaotic situation? Now Tyron Lu's coaching style, "You can do whatever you want, I guarantee you" is like a leather sofa tailored for the bearded man. The data on the NBA official website clearly states: Under Coach Lu, Harden has 15 more pick-and-rolls per 100 rounds than in Philadelphia! I want me to tell you, the treatment is like an old man walking his thrush in a Beijing alley - the cage door is open, and he will thrust like he wants.
2. Xiaoka + Zubac = golden partner?
There is a cold knowledge you may not know: last season, Xiao Ka's shooting percentage after receiving Harden's pass was 3 percentage points higher than that of his own! This chemical reaction reminds me of the tofu brain and fried dough sticks in my hometown breakfast stall - it's okay to eat it alone, but it's authentic to put it together. In contrast, those young people in the Magic, Ban Kairo's accurate head with three-pointers was about the same chance of playing mahjong Hu cards as my mother-in-law.
3. In the area of Los Angeles, I really can't bear to leave
Last year I ran into Harden near Staples. What a guy, he was wearing a floral shirt and a trendy bag, and he looked like a hip-hop rich man on vacation. Forbes has calculated the results early. Harden's net profit per year is more than his contract salary when investing in restaurants and wineries in Los Angeles. You said this, would you be willing to go to Oran to have a variety of oranges?
Other choice? Either a pit or a thunder! The Rockets have long blocked the road. Their team reporter Kelly Iko broke the news that Harden had to find an oxygen cylinder when he ran the halfway through the "marathon run". I was wondering if this was the same as asking the square dance aunt to dance street dance - it wasn't that I couldn't dance, it was really fatal!
As for the options of Jazz and Hornets... Let's put it this way, the 36-year-old veteran goes to rebuild the team, which is basically like a retired veteran cadre rehiring to see the door - it sounds like a job, but it's actually very frustrating. The NBA official website data is there: the 36+ veterans who have gone to the reconstruction team in the past five years have not lost 30% of their average time.
2 years 60 million, is it worth it?
Watching Harden's video of himself practicing three-pointers in the Clippers Training Hall, I suddenly remembered the uncle who always wore Kobe's jersey in the community basketball court - his movements were slow and his head was still there. Analysts with cool CBA data have calculated that as long as the Clippers can find a reliable 3D forward (such as Vanderbilt, the Lakers next door, was scolded badly), this lineup can still be mixed in the West.
If you really sign 60 million for two years, you can still bet on the free market at the age of 38. Do you remember Paul's second spring in the sun? The Basketball-Reference is clearly written: the old man signs a contract well and can still be a hot commodity.
