People who are used to invisibility will continue to be the same, and those who admit responsibility will never explain! In fact, you should leave the team the most

NBA playoffs continued, and the Thunder won the Western Conference championship early and watched the tiger fight. The Pacers also lived up to expectations and successfully won the last ticket to the finals. Everyone in the world thinks that the Thunder will win the final championship and that Alexander will achieve a career honor Grand Slam. Seeing Alexander performing like this, I can't help but feel sorry for the Clippers' original choice.

The Clippers fought with the Nuggets for seven games this season, but they finally lost to their opponents. Then they compared the gap between the Nuggets and the Thunder. Finally, they looked at the Timberwolves swept by the gentleman and felt that the Clippers lost a pity. How far can the senior combination of Harden and Leonard go next season, the strong rise of the Thunder, how great the chances of other Western teams are there? If the Clippers had not followed Leonard's trading opinions at the beginning, what would the situation of the Clippers now? It seems that all the bad luck has been caught up by the Clippers.

Leonard was at the peak of his career. All teams fought for Leonard. In the end, the Clippers got the right to use Leonard as they wished, and the price of their comeback was also terrible. The details of 9 to 1 are still vivid in my mind. The combination of Alexander and Jaylen is the best gift given to the Thunder by the Clippers.

Now, Alexander has become the hottest star in the league, and Jaylen has also played the attributes that the second in command should have. On the other hand, Leonard and George have combined, but have not achieved substantial growth for the team. Instead, George, who failed to get a big contract, finally asked for a success, leaving Leonard, who was alone in the Clippers.

If it weren't for Harden's joining, the Clippers would not have a chance to make the playoffs this season. Although Leonard had played good data after his comeback, so many years of experience told everyone that Leonard could not complete a whole season of games at full capacity. If Harden had not made the playoffs, would the Clippers fall into reconstruction?

After the failure of the playoffs, many people put the blame on Harden, but no one has ever questioned whether Leonard needs to bear greater responsibilities. He completely forgot that the person who received the highest salary of the team was Leonard. People who are habitually invisible will never come out to explain, and will not assume their responsibilities. After the Timberwolves lose, see how Huazi performs. He said bluntly that no one will practice more ruthlessly than himself in the offseason and are willing to fight for veteran Conley for another year. Some people may think this is an unrealistic idea, but as the leader of the team, this is a matter of attitude, and what about our Leonard? There was no indication, all contact was lost.

Instead, the 36-year-old Harden has been facing criticism and accusations from fans and the media. Although Harden has never explained anything, looking at Harden's career resume, you will understand that Harden has a strong self-esteem, otherwise he would not have made so many promises when he was in China.

It is almost certain that the Clippers' team-building core will still be centered around Harden and Leonard next season, but how many years can the elderly Harden last? It’s impossible for him to carry the team forward every year, and Leonard can’t play the whole season. How far can the Clippers go next season? Don't expect them to win the championship.

Leonard has two years left for his contract. Leonard will turn 34 this summer. It is almost hard to imagine what kind of injuries will Leonard have as he grows older. It won’t be like George, just like him, and he won’t leave any bargaining chips until the contract expires. So now we will go back to the initial topic. Who should leave the team, Harden or Leonard?

Who do you think should Harden or Leonard be the bargaining chips in the trading? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
