00:00We've got some breaking news out of the NBA where James Harden is declining his
00:05player option and signing a new two-year 81 and a half million dollar deal with
00:11the Clippers. That's according to ESPN. He was set to earn just over 36 million
00:16dollars next season on his old deal but opted out for a longer one with a higher
00:21salary. Harden entering his third year in LA with the Clippers and was named to
00:25his 11th all-star game last season averaging a team-high 23 points, nine
00:29helpers, and six boards per game. All right the deadline came and won. Here we go
00:37with the James Harden news. John Gonzalez and Sam Quinn to break it on down. So
00:41John, I'm gonna give you first word here. Thoughts on this new two-year deal? Yeah
00:46the question Tommy wasn't whether or not excuse me James Harden was gonna stick
00:50around. It was whether or not he was gonna pick up that player option or opt out
00:53and get a new deal. That's what he ended up doing. The question for us and Sam and
00:57I were just discussing this was whether or not that number would disqualify them
01:00from using the full mid-level exception. Sam's better on this than I am but he'll
01:04be able to explain it but it looks like they will be and that's huge for team
01:07building right because the Clippers last year I think that they did more than a
01:11lot of people expected certainly more than I expected. After Paul George left you
01:15didn't have Kawhi Leonard for a big chunk of the year. James Harden was really good.
01:19That defense was really good and they end up giving the Denver Nuggets all they can
01:23handle in that first round. So James Harden you know different stops vary. Your
01:29mileage may vary on James Harden but he had a pretty good year last year so the
01:33Clippers wanted him to stick around and I think this works both ways. Yeah I think
01:37this is a good deal for both sides. I mean for Harden obviously gets the salary
01:41bump this year. The Clippers get the partial guarantee on the second year. Useful in
01:45case they need to move on but the number to watch here is that first apron figure right
01:50before this if Harden had just picked up his player option they were going to have around
01:54$20 million in wiggle room to improve the roster. Use the full mid-level exception. Make
02:00unbalanced trades perhaps use the biannual exception. They dip into that flexibility a little
02:05bit because they do bump James Harden's salary. They're still going to have enough room
02:09to use that full mid-level if they want to. They could split it across multiple players. I think
02:14the things to watch for them moving forward in the offseason. Backup point guard and backup
02:18center. They really struggled whenever James Harden went to the bench last year on offense.
02:23Kevin Porter Jr., Bogdan Bogdanovich, those guys didn't cut it. They've been linked to Ty Jerome.
02:27They've been linked to Chris Paul. And then behind Evita Zubac they haven't really had a reliable
02:31backup center so I wouldn't be surprised to see them chase a big as well. I think they still have
02:36the flexibility to get both if they really want to. So they got Harden on a good number. It's not a long-term
02:41commitment. And their ballot sheet now is relatively clean for that summer of 2027 when there are a lot
02:47of good free agent stars lined up. If they want to remake the team after that, after Harden and Kawhi
02:52Leonard expired, they'll be able to do that. All right. So Sam, again, just to be very clear from
02:57what you and John are saying, they've had flexibility to now then be aggressive. Is that the take here?
03:04Yeah, I would say so. No, I'm not expecting them to go out and say trade for a star, right? I think
03:09they have the core of the team that they want. And I think they're thinking a little bit longer
03:13term, right? They only have Harden on a two-year deal. That aligns his contract with Kawhi Leonard's.
03:18He obviously signed an extension during the 23-24 season. They now both expire in the summer of 2027.
03:24You want to be competitive in that time, right? You want to get better. You want to address those
03:29holes at backup point guard and backup center. They'll have the room to do that. But I would be
03:33surprised if they made a big swing where they say gave up multiple draft picks or they added somebody
03:39on a really expensive long-term deal. I think the timeline they're looking at right now is you have
03:44these two more years with Kawhi and with James Harden when they're still hopefully at the level they were
03:49last year, which was an all-star level. If you have that, you can shore up the edges. They pushed
03:54Denver to seven games and Denver pushed Oklahoma City to seven games. So they're close enough that I
03:58think if they could just get the margins right, they could be pretty competitive next year. Yeah, I'm the
04:04same here. I think it's tinkering on the margins. I mean, the backup point guard and the backup center
04:07really are the main focal points. Maybe they used the mid-level exception on one guy, but I would expect
04:12like probably chop it up a little bit and get some of those backups with Chris Paul, somebody that has
04:17been super rumored to be interested in going back to L.A. and that the Clippers, that would seem to be a need,
04:24fit a need for them. And then, you know, maybe somebody like Clint Capella as a backup. I'm not a huge
04:28Clint Capella guy, but as a backup, that would be just fine for them. And really, Tommy, I mean,
04:32the Western Conference is absolutely loaded. So for the Clippers to just decide, okay, look,
04:36we have another year of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. We'll see how this thing goes, and then
04:41we'll decide again the following season. Because look, last year without Kawhi Leonard for much of
04:47the year, they still had a really good year, right? I mean, they end up as the five seed and they go to
04:51seven games against the Denver Nuggets. That's about as good as you could hope for when you have James
04:56Harden running a show that's like a little bit offensively challenged, really hyper-focused
05:00on Tyloo's defense. Did a really good job at that end of the floor. So if you can get more out of
05:04Kawhi Leonard going forward, and also, as Sam had mentioned, fill in some of the gaps around the
05:09edges, this Clippers team could be plucky again. Aggressive within reason. All right, just to update
05:15with the takeaways here. And then finally here, remind us, or at least give me projections of what
05:19we think a soon-to-be 36-year-old James Harden will be, John. Obviously, he's still a bucket
05:24getter. Fantastic season here. But this new two-year deal will get him, what, 36, 37 years old now. He's
05:30getting up there in age. Yes, he is getting up there in age. I was out on James Harden last year. I will be
05:35the first to admit that I was one of the guys who said, look, I think James Harden has reached the end
05:39of the line here. And he had a good season. Now, the problem here, Tommy, is that good regular season,
05:44James Harden, often shows up just as inconsistent. Where did he go when it really mattered in the
05:50postseason? James Harden frequently shows up, as it did at times last year, as he did in previous
05:56stops, certainly with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Houston Rockets. Before that, we'll put the
06:00Brooklyn Nets off to the side for a second. Look, James Harden is a very talented player. There's no
06:04doubt about it, but you're right. I mean, he's getting up there in age. But I just think, like,
06:08if you're the Clippers, this was a marriage of convenience when they brought him over from the Sixers.
06:13It worked out pretty well on the whole. Again, a little rough spots in the postseason. I just
06:19think, like, there was never a world where he probably wasn't coming back this year. So,
06:23you roll the dice again, and you hope maybe he has a better postseason moving forward.
06:27Yeah, James Harden has never exactly been known for his conditioning. Let's leave it at that.
06:32So, I would be a little bit nervous about how he ages. I will say he is a player now, especially,
06:37that relies a lot more on strength than speed, right? His best trade on offense was always his
06:41ability to decelerate. So, it doesn't matter quite as much how quick that first step is. He has other
06:47ways to beat you. But I would be a little bit concerned how he's going to look. But the Clippers
06:51baked that into this contract by giving him the partial guarantee on the second year. If they do need
06:57to get off of him early, they can. If they need to use him as a big expiring contract in a trade
07:02next offseason, they can. So, all of those concerns are valid. I do think the Clippers have prepared
07:07for it. And I don't think they're going to say, throw a bunch of first-round picks in and think,
07:12we have James Harden. We're like an immediate championship contender. We have to go all the way in.
07:16No, I think they're going to be measured about this. I think they understand that Harden is a risk,
07:20just like Kawhi Leonard is with his injury history. They're trying to win, but I don't think they're
07:25going to do it in a way that leaves them exposed if James Harden does experience age-related decline.
07:30All right. On a day in L.A. where you had LeBron James go in, James Harden go out,
07:35but not without a deal. John Gonzalez and Sam Quinn here on HQ. Gentlemen, thank you.
07:40When we take a look at most career points without a title, Carl Malone, Carmelo Anthony,
07:45and James Harden. I know a lot of people on social media were hoping for a Rockets and KD reunion,
07:51but of course, as the fellas had talked about, not all that surprising,
07:54declining it, and then getting a new deal to sort of help the team.
08:00And this just in, keeping it in the association, Bobby Portis returning to the Bucs on a three-year,
08:07$44 million deal. That's coming from ESPN. He declined his player option for next season
08:13in favor of a long-term contract. Portis entering the sixth season in Milwaukee,
08:18helping the team win their first title in 50 years back in 2021. He averaged just under 14 points
08:23and eight and a half rebounds per game last season, as the People's Champs' new deal will include a
08:29player option in its final year in 2018.
