Congratulations to Harden! The Clippers are expected to get Anthony Smith, the super defender may help Carden

According to NBA famous reporter Brett Siegel, the rising star point guard Anthony Simmons, who was just sent to the Celtics, is in contact with the Clippers. If the Celtics weren't going to keep him, the Clippers would likely be Simmons' next stop. Simmons averaged 19.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game last season, which can be said to be quite excellent. After the Clippers got Dunn and Porter Jr. last season, the team's performance improved on the court due to the supplementary back line. However, Porter Jr.'s departure finally caused Harden to spend more time holding the ball in the playoffs and was eliminated in the first round. This time, the Clippers also learned from the experience last time and decided to strengthen the point guard.

Then, like Simmons, the scoring point guard who can break through and shoot is exactly what the Clippers and Harden need. He can relieve Harden's offensive pressure on the field and help the team score at critical moments. Simmons and Lillard have a good partner, and I believe the same is true for the same team as Harden.

But in this way, defender Powell may be leaving, but there is still Bogdan to take over. In this way, Harden can accumulate energy to focus on connecting the team in the regular season and make efforts in the playoffs. This is also one of the ways to strengthen the Clippers to return to the Western Conference Finals.
