The Clippers want to intercept Durant, and Harden may cut his salary and renew his contract. What are the potential lineups with three major hidden dangers?

With Antetokounmpo basically determined to stay in the team, the biggest star in the market this year must be Kevin Durant. Entering his twilight years of his career, Kevin Durant is definitely not as popular as the peak. After all, it doesn't make sense to get the reconstruction team, and he will definitely not want to go. Those who strongly pursue Kevin Durant are nothing more than the playoffs that are not a big problem, but those teams who hope to break through the deadlock and fight for the championship and make a desperate bet.

For example, the Los Angeles Clippers, because the team's first round game in a row, the management could not sit still. According to ESPN, the Clippers want to intercept Kevin Durant, becoming a dark horse in the latter's battle. Of course, if you want to meet this condition, the most important thing is that James Harden jumps out of the contract and may cut his salary and renew his contract, so that the Clippers can make room and win over their old teammates with all their might.

Kevin Durant and James Harden have both collaborative experiences in the Thunder and the Nets, but unfortunately they failed to win the championship as they wished. If Kevin Durant is obtained on paper, plus Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, this is another set of Big Three configurations. But not to mention that Kevin Durant may not join. Even if he really comes, this potential lineup will have three major hidden dangers. First, the NBA has strict salary cap restrictions. These three people are all (times) in the maximum salary level. It is very difficult for the management to strengthen the subsequently. The configuration of the top three giants may not necessarily win the championship, and it is even more conceivable in their old age.

The next three players are all too old and have reached their peak in their age. Besides Kawhi Leonard, the other two big names are not considered top defensive players throughout their careers, and James Harden is often criticized. This tests the role players' performance, because several superstars are responsible for offense, and role players can only eat cakes and open three-pointers, and the value on the field is defense and competition for rebounds. Then another problem arises. It is definitely not easy to find players with such clear positioning and meeting the standards. Even if the Clippers happen to have it, they need others to do their jobs well, but they do not steal the show and will definitely obey the Big Three. It is probably not that easy.

The third point, in addition to James Harden, the attendance rate of the other two stars also seems to be a problem. Since Kawhi Leonard came to the Clippers, he has not been completely healthy for a season and has been reimbursed several times in advance. This season, the Clippers are also very good at protecting him, which has achieved a higher attendance rate. After Kevin Durant's Achilles tendon was seriously injured, his attendance rate plummeted. The Suns missed the play-offs because he was injured and ended his journey early. In the end, it really turned into James Harden, and once again led the team with a single core. The Clippers really had a luxurious lineup, but there was basically no actual threat.
