Leonard will be very happy, because although George's ability is also very good, there is still a certain gap compared to Harden. George sometimes does not perform well at critical moments, and Harden's scoring ability is much better than George, and Harden is also very capable in organizing the team. This is what the Clippers and Leonard urgently need. This is why after acquiring Rondo, the Clippers will become the biggest The reason why he is the favorite to win the championship. If George is replaced by Harden, then Leonard can be liberated, and of course he will be very happy.

First, let’s compare the characteristics of Harden and George. George is actually somewhat similar to Leonard, with strong athletic ability, integrated offense and defense, and an enhanced 3D player, while Harden is a standard outside player, except for defense. For example, George is much better than George in terms of offense and organization, especially in terms of offense. Several consecutive scoring champions are the best evidence of Harden's offensive ability.

If Harden and Leonard partner up, it will be a liberation for Leonard. The Clippers can let Harden control the rhythm of the entire game, and it will be very difficult for the opponent to defend, and Leonard can focus on his defense, and he can play more without the ball in offense, because in fact, although Leonard is also very strong offensively, his physical strength is not enough, and he needs some rest time to perform better. performance, and playing with the ball is very physically demanding. If Harden controls the offense, Leonard will be under much less pressure.

Not only Leonard, but other Clippers players will also be very happy. George is also very good, but in terms of offensive deterrence, he is far from Harden. George's performance on the outside is It is very unstable. When Leonard is exhausted, if he cannot stand up, the Clippers will easily lose the game. If you switch to Harden, you won't have this problem. Harden's three-point ability is very strong, and when Harden feels bad, he can also win free throws by drawing fouls. Because Harden's offensive restraint will make Leonard play more easily.

The other aspect is organization. Before Rondo arrived this season, Leonard and George were the ones organizing the Clippers' offense. They were not good at it, so they had a hard time. The team's guards For example, Beverley does not have the ability to organize offense, but Harden does not have this problem. Harden's assists this season have reached a record high, and he was once a strong contender for the league's assists king, so if Harden and George swap pairs The Clippers' offensive improvements have been huge.

What will decline for the Clippers is their defense after Harden arrives. Everyone knows that Harden is not good at defense. Although it has improved a lot in the past few seasons, his eye-catching defense at the time was too impressive. It's profound, and George is much better than Harden in this aspect, but the Clippers have also gathered a lot of defensive players, including not only Beverley but also good defensive players like Rondo and Batum, so The problem won't be too big.

Therefore, if Harden and George are swapped, the Clippers will definitely be greatly improved, and Leonard will naturally be very happy.
