The famous player advises the Clippers to strengthen! Give up Harden, trade KD to sign Paul, fans: Absolute bad idea

June 20th news, recently, former NBA player Robert Horry talked about the Clippers on the "Big Shot Bob" podcast. When talking about the team's reinforcement plans this summer, Horry also had a lot of ideas and expressed his views. He said that if he is the management of the Clippers, he would give up renewing Harden, and then let Durant come over and sign Paul back, so that Durant and Paul would play for another year, and the Clippers and Tyron Lue, the teams Durant went to can compete for the championship. Once Horry's remarks were exposed, it quickly sparked heated discussions. Fans almost angrily scolded Horry, saying that after doing this, the Clippers may have made progress in the playoffs.

I have to say that although Robert Horry, you are a very successful player in NBA history and won 7 championships by your role player, you don’t know the current situation of the Clippers at all, and the reinforcement plan for advice is also a nonsense. The first thing to say is that Harden has a huge effect on this Clippers. If the Clippers do not renew their contract, it means that Zubac, the backbone of the future team that has just been played, will be silent again. Secondly, although Harden played average in two games in the playoffs, the impact and damage caused by Xiaoka's injury on the Clippers was covered up because of the Iron Man Harden leading the team in the regular season, otherwise the Clippers would not even have the chance to play in the playoffs.

Therefore, in terms of the current situation of the Clippers, except for Zubac who trades non-selling products, the second most important person is Harden. His importance is even more important than the little card who has been recovering from long-term injuries. Isn’t it pure or bad idea for Horry to let the Clippers give up Harden? In addition, let’s see him help the Clippers strengthen the Clippers to trade for Durant. If there is a chance, the Clippers can indeed try to pursue Durant, but the Suns are not stupid, they must want your Zubac. To take a step back, even if you let Harden execute the player options and then use his contract to trade Durant, Harden and Booker join forces, the Suns' record may be better than KD and the Clippers.

Finally, let's talk about signing Paul. Paul is now a free agent and can indeed return to the Clippers to play a substitute point guard, but please remember that Paul can only play a substitute point guard in his current state and ability. He has the will but lacks strength to play as a starting player. Finally, a very important point is that Horry said that with KD and Tyron Lu, the Clippers can compete for the championship, so he really looked up to Tyron Lu. The Clippers' defense is coached by Van Gundy, and the offense is maintained by Harden's system. Tyron Lu is responsible for handling the relationship between the soul and the player. You bet on Tyron Lu to take the uncompetitive Clippers to the championship or not. The Clippers' top priority this summer is to renew Harden's contract. The Clippers will be like this in the next two years. The chances of winning the championship are not very high, but if you want to keep entering the playoffs, you really have to keep Harden.
