On July 1, 2025, the NBA offseason continued, and the days without games were really boring. Today, the editor will share with you some of the latest NBA information, mainly related to Harden, Curry and James. A brief summary is as follows: 3 major news in one night! Good news from Harden, the latest news from Curry, James has caused controversy again!

First of all, good news from Harden. According to reports, Harden plans to renew a two-year, $81.5 million contract with the team. The Clippers' salary space is basically locked. Some fans joked that they gave Xiaoka 20 million to play in the playoffs and there is no need to play in a regular season game. Give Harden 30 million to play in the regular season, and there is no need to play in a playoff game, and the rest will be used to strengthen. Now the main reason is that the Clippers have no bargaining chips, and the draft picks are all in the Thunder, and they cannot be bad, and there are no rookies to train. They are also short of people in the championship. Just use this lineup to play in the playoffs, and there is no other idea.

If you are in terms of all-round ability, organization, scoring, raising centers and raising shooters, only James can compete with Harden in the whole league, and only James and Du Du are a little stronger than Harden in one single fight, but the Rockets are not inferior at all. Harden's problem is his ability to score directly after receiving the ball and his ability to score directly after pick-and-roll. Curry, Durant and Irving are very good at doing these two things. Also, the problem that the ability of a large core body with the ball will definitely drop significantly is also very critical. It can only be said that no one is perfect, and Curry's singles ability is also very poor, which is why he did not make his mark at the beginning. Durant's passing vision is not good, so it's good to like it yourself, there's no need to worry too much.

Then there is the latest news of Curry, who is watching the WNBA with his second daughter Ryan today and interacting in front of the camera. Judging from the current transaction, the Warriors will not make any big moves. If they can win Ayton, it will be perfect, and Kumingjia will sign first and then change to a better 3D forward, at least there will be guaranteed in the playoffs. If the Warriors don’t make up for the next season, the playoffs will be in lingering. There is no Grandpa Lu in the center position. Do you expect Post to play for a season? Ayton and Horford fought for one, but Rowe was quite strong, so why didn't there be any explanation? The Warriors have been inexplicably calm in the offseason in recent years. There are obvious problems with the lineup structure. I don’t know how to make targeted reinforcements when playing against the Rockets. The Warriors have touched on the super luxury tax clause. If you have more than a million in total salary, you have to pay tens of millions of more taxes, which is too operational.

Finally, James caused controversy again. Shams said that James still wanted to compete for the championship and he was paying attention to the Lakers' dynamics to evaluate the future. This is a controversy because some fans said that James said that the championship is not important? Then why do you still want to compete for the championship at this age? The reporter also said that James is evaluating where his career ends, which is a critical moment between him and the Lakers. The Lakers know that no matter how much this lineup is, it will be difficult to win the championship, and they are unwilling to exchange for this year in the future, let alone Doncic in the future. James believes that this is the last year and the team should be on the verge of the game. It is estimated that James wants to leave, but now there are few teams that can compete for the championship and it is difficult for the Cavaliers to compete for the championship. The new Lakers boss's team building idea. If James does not implement the player option, he may not sign or will not be given a maximum salary. James has only been in the past or two years since his retirement. The team will build the team with Doncic as the core in the future. James's contract execution representative and the Lakers' ideas have already been different. No matter how hard Pelinka tries, he can't make a salary space out of thin air. Adu chose to trade at that time, and many media said that he was old and James was 40, which was definitely more obvious. Of course, James has the veto power to build future space around Doncic, which is not easy to operate.
