3-4, the Clippers were scuttled by the Nuggets, and many people will also run away with buckets.

Simmons, who joined the Clippers in the middle of the season,G6 > G7 are all DNP, played an average of 8.4 minutes per game throughout the playoffs, scored 0.8 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists, shot 33.3% from the field, and contributed almost negligible, so it is no wonder that Tyronn Lue hid him in these two important battles.

However, Simmons got a salary of $1.08 million in the Clippers, which really can't ask for too much, but he has become a free agent, and whether he can stay in the NBA next season has to be put on a big question mark?

Simmons, who turned 29 this summer, played in 33 games for the Nets this season, averaging 6.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists in 25 minutes per game, and played in 18 games for the Clippers, averaging 16.4 minutes per game, averaging 2.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists.

Whether Simmons goes away or not, it doesn't matter to the Clippers, it will be a big headache when it comes to renewing Powell's contract.The dude is eligible to sign a four-year, $128.5 million contract this offseasonOf course, you can wait until 2026 to talk about contract renewals.

Powell ushered in an explosion this season, averaging 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game in the regular season, with a three-point shooting rate of 41.8%, and once became the scoring champion of the Clippers, but his status in the playoffs declined significantly, averaging only 16 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 35%, and only 9 points in 11 shots in the life and death G7.

In addition, the most important thing is Harden, if he averages 23+6+9 per game in the regular season, the Clippers have prepared a contract extension with a maximum salary, but the performance in this year's playoffs is really unsatisfactory, averaging 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game, including the most important G7 shooting 2 of 8 to score 7 points, this is not the data that a ball-holding core should play.

Harden has a player option this offseason and an annual salary of $36.35 million next season, and he is still in control of his future destiny!
