As the core ace player of the Clippers this season, Harden has also become the focus of everyone's attention after the start of the season. But after entering the playoffs, the Clippers also encountered huge trouble.

But now it has also been revealed that the Clippers sent Alexander to the Thunder in a 2019 deal, which is considered the price paid by the Clippers to get George. However, Alexander quickly grew into an All-Star player with the Thunder and was even about to become a regular season MVP, which made the Clippers management regret it. Now, the Clippers are interested in pursuing Alexander again in 2027 to make up for the mistakes of that year.

The Clippers hope to sign Alexander again, which still shocked the fans. Because there are indeed big problems within the Clippers now. The Clippers' current salary space has been locked down, with a total salary of $192 million, exceeding the luxury tax line of 27 million. Next season, the four-man Leonard, Harden, Powell and Zubac will earn 115 million yuan, and the remaining salary can only be used to fill in the pits with basic salary. In addition, the Clippers' draft assets in the next five years have been almost hollowed out.

So in the next two seasons, the best way for the Clippers is to start playing badly and then trade some of the team's useful chips. By then, Alexander will be signed in 2027 and will create a new lineup system. Xiao Ka also secretly enjoyed it. He could easily earn a salary whether the team was bad or rebuilding. Harden is also likely to leave directly.
