NBA Rumors: We tell you the future of James Harden

The Los Angeles Clippers are a gritty and defensive team led by two elite scorers (though older): Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. While the former was recovering from a knee injury earlier this year, the latter helped keep the team afloat. The hope is a promising playoff run now that both are healthy.

Long-term, it's hard to say which players from the Clippers need to be on the roster in a few years. A reset may come, but the path for Los Angeles seems similar to the Warriors with Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green. The Clippers would likely prioritize pairing Harden with Leonard in the latter's final year in 2026-27.

James Harden's Intentions

It is likely that Harden will decline his $36.3 million player option to secure a similar figure but in a two-year deal to align with Leonard, perhaps in the range of $72-75 million.
