On May 28, NBA Clippers star Harden's agent Troy Payne (who has been an Adidas executive for decades) was interviewed by the US media recently and publicly responded to Harden's focus on whether to choose to execute the $36.35 million player option contract with the Clippers next season: "

I have to fight for the best interests of my players. It is obvious that Harden has performed well in the Clippers this season, but he has always been a very low-key star. In recent seasons, he has sacrificed too much to pursue the championship goals, including team status, offensive power, salary, money, etc. In the entire league, he rarely meets superstars of this level who can do this!"

"Harden is now actively preparing for the schedule of Adidas China trip. He is not in a hurry to make a decision. He is enjoying off-season vacation time and various business arrangements, but we must admit that he has received quotes from multiple teams in the league. It is not the time to make a decision. I believe that Harden will make the most favorable choice for himself in a month!"

Through Troy Payne's words, it can be analyzed that Harden has won the dual honor of All-Stars + the League's best third team in the Clippers this season. He must carefully consider the last big contract of his career, and is also qualified to find a contract with a higher salary contract with a longer contract. It is not an exaggeration for any professional player.
