Want to form three giants again? The Clippers have a new reinforcement plan, and may terminate the contract with Harden early!

At present, there are only 4 teams left in the NBA and are still playing in the playoffs, and the remaining 26 teams have already started the offseason and can adjust the lineup.

The Los Angeles Clippers' performance this season is definitely not satisfactory. They rarely gathered a healthy lineup. Harden, Leonard, Powell and Zubac were able to play normally, but they still did not cross the first round, which is definitely not possible.

But the Clippers have very little salary space left, and it is reported that there is less than $15 million in space to sign, which is also a shortage. Of course, if you sign a player directly, you can try to trade and send some players away in exchange for better stars.

Recently, the Clippers have had new ideas, and they are convincing Harden to jump out of the $36 million player option next season and then renew a two-year $75 million contract.

On the surface, the Clippers still raised Harden's salary by doing this, but in fact the annual salary has increased, and Harden's contract years have decreased. The Clippers' plan is to let Harden and Leonard's contracts expire in the summer of 2027, so that the team can rebuild.

In addition, the Clippers are also considering introducing a third star, and they are on the outside, and they are interested in Charlotte Hornets' head defender Lamelo Ball. Lamelo Ball is already an All-Star guard, but the Hornets are unable to make the playoffs for a long time, and wasting time is not conducive to the improvement of his personal business value.

The Ball family has always liked to play in big cities. Langzo Ball was originally a player of the Los Angeles Lakers, and now it is good for the Chicago Bulls. A while ago, Langzo Ball said on a podcast that he hoped the Hornets would select popular rookie Dylan Harper in this year's NBA draft, and then send his younger brother Lamelo Ball to the Clippers.

Today, Lamelo Ball was also discovered, and his personal social media account unfollowed the Hornets' official account. Perhaps, the Clippers will soon trade Lamelo Ball, forming the three giants with Harden and Leonard.
