“He’s our No. 1 priority,” Lawrence Frank, the Clippers’ president of basketball operations, advised the media after the primary spherical of the draft Wednesday night time. “We’re super hopeful that James is here and he’s here for a long time. He has a player-option, so he can opt-in … or he can opt-out and hopefully we can do a deal that makes sense for both sides. But James, as you guys know, was phenomenal and we hope to continue to see his play.”

Although the Clippers drafted a middle within the first spherical with the thirtieth choose, getting Yanic Konan Niederhauser of Penn State, Frank mentioned his crew “probably will have at least three centers.”

The Clippers can use their non-taxpayer mid-level exception that’s projected to be about $14.1 million on a participant or two, and maybe even discover a heart.

Harden turns 36 in August and was not made obtainable to talk with media throughout conventional exit interviews each crew usually hosts to shut out a season.

“When it was James this year with no Kawhi, with Norm [Powell] and [Ivica] Zubac and the rest of the group, we really asked James to do a lot,” Frank mentioned shortly after the Clippers have been eradicated from the playoffs.

“And at his age to deliver what he did…[He played in] 79 games, and he does that time and time and time again. We have a deep appreciation for that sort of availability and to be able to deliver and do what he did…We have a great level of appreciation for what James did this year.”
