Harden substitutes! Paul really wants to go to the Clippers, but the requirements are too high, and the Clippers cannot agree

Paul wants to take revenge on Harden? What exactly happened? It's incredible!

Paul has not decided where to go, the main reason is that he wants to find a place close to home and can play the starting lineup. It is said that the Clippers want to sign Paul, but they refuse to agree to Paul as the starter.

Why do the Clippers need Paul? The main reason is that the Clippers want to find a qualified substitute for Harden, and Paul is undoubtedly very suitable to be Harden's substitute.

Last season, Paul played all 82 regular season games, averaged 28 minutes per game, scored 8.8 points, grabbed 3.6 rebounds, sent 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals.

Judging from Paul's data, he is definitely very good at being a substitute. Although Paul's offense is not as sharp as before, he still does a great job in driving his teammates to score.

, and the Clippers have always been missing one, an excellent substitute point guard. The reason why Harden has been playing very hard is that no one can replace him.

If Paul can join the Clippers, Harden will get more rest time, so in the playoffs, Harden will not perform so badly.

But why did Paul insist on starting? There may be two reasons below, and the second reason is very inauthentic.

The first reason is that Paul is very energetic. Paul is a very unyielding person and a very strong player. Looking back on his career, Paul spent most of his time starting.

Especially when he was with the Spurs last season, Paul has been playing as starting point guard. He played a full 82 starters, which made him suddenly play as a substitute, and he would definitely not accept it.

The second reason is that Paul wants to squeeze out Harden's starting position. Why did Paul want to do this? It is very likely that Paul had a conflict with Harden when he was on the Rockets, but now Paul wants to take revenge on Harden! So he wants to stick to the starting lineup so that Harden can play as a substitute.

But Paul may have thought too much! The Clippers absolutely cannot let Harden play as a substitute, after all, the Clippers just raised their salary. How could Harden, who has an annual salary of 40 million yuan, be the substitute? Do you think this is the reason?
