To keep Harden s Clippers use strange tricks to play emotional cards, the arrival of one person may become the key to Harden s stay in the team.

The Clippers have made another strange move. In order to save money, Harden is really playing this time. According to the most well-informed NBA league news, Shams, the master of the Kings, revealed that former Kings general manager McNair recently joined the Clippers and served as a team consultant.

McNair is a person with a deep relationship and background with the Rockets. The Clippers recruit such people to join their team's think tank. It is unlikely that they have no idea about Harden! As for McNair's career resume, it's average, and the Clippers shouldn't be able to catch their eye.

As the former general manager of the Kings, McNair missed Fox as the team's core by choosing one of Fox and Halliburton, and two years later gave Fox to the Spurs cheaply. Then, the Bulls abandoned players formed the combination of DeRozan and Raven to shame the Kings. This brainless operation made the kings unable to bear it anymore and resolutely swept McNair out.

So why can the Clippers betrothals accept people of this level into their think tanks? You should know that McNair's arrival, and Clippers General Manager Frank, just formed a pair of phoenixes. So what exactly can attract the Clippers' bosses? There is only one conclusion, that is, McNair's resume with the Rockets attracted the Clippers' bosses.

McNair worked in the Rockets think tank from 2007 to 2020. As a senior analyst, he has been the deputy general manager of the Rockets. The Rockets' tactical style of playing around Harden was familiar with the Rockets. In particular, McNair was good at data analysis. McNair participated in the evaluation of all Rockets players at that time, market transactions and provided sufficiently accurate data analysis. McNair can be said to be the one who has the most say in the tactics formulated around Harden.

The key figure in Harden's agreement to stay in the team last year was Van Gundy Jr. It was precisely because of Van Gundy Jr.'s joining that the Clippers finally decided to formulate offensive tactics around Harden and Van Gundy Jr.'s defensive tactics. It should be said that the Clippers achieved unexpected success around the tactical system led by Harden. It was only because of the role players' lack of offensive firepower that the Clippers were eliminated in the first round. Even so, the Clippers played a tiebreak with the former champion team Nuggets.

This gave the Clippers management a taste of the sweetness. McNair's arrival shows that the Clippers still hope that the new season will focus on Harden to create more tactics for more victory. Compared to last season, the team needs to make up for the shortcomings. McNair, who is very good at data analysis of players around Harden, is naturally valued by the Clippers management. Capela, who became a free agent in the offseason, will undoubtedly be the main player to be the Clippers' attention and analysis. Capela, as Harden's former teammate of the Rockets, is also the first generation of "Pie King" trained by Harden, which undoubtedly has a huge attraction to the Clippers. The Rockets' 2014 draft pick Capela McNair conducted a lot of data analysis and evaluation. For the current Clippers, McNair will be the best candidate for Capela's data analysis.

The Clippers are now suddenly joining the ranks of Durant and attracting McNair. It seems that there are two-way considerations about Zubac's addition of chips and introducing Capela. Once they compete for Durant, Zubac needs to be a bargaining chip because the Suns need Zubac to join. In this way, the Clippers' assessment of Capela will become particularly important.

Now Harden's negotiations have entered a new round. The Clippers are still lukewarm at the negotiating table and try to keep the price down. But outside, the Clippers have already started to make arrangements. McNair's joining has undoubtedly become the key to keeping Harden. It seems that Harden cannot leave the Clippers. The Clippers' management has begun to take a two-pronged approach and play the emotional card. The negotiation quotation given at the negotiating table now is nothing more than the negotiation method of the Clippers management. If Harden insists on a high salary, Ballmer will give it. After all, he is still the one who is not short of money.

You should know that Harden averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists in the past season, and was selected as the All-Star. These honors are not something a 36-year-old veteran should play. This unique ability is better than anyone else in the Clippers' management. It's just "pretending to be confused with understanding".

Sweep and go to bed! Don't worry about Harden. Harden is destined to stay with the Clippers. Those who eat melons can feel at ease. Continue to follow Harden and follow the Clippers in the new season!
