James Harden set to play for his fourth team since 2021

James Harden has a couple of things to play for once he makes his debut for the LA Clippers.

Harden is in the final year of his contract and will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. He will want to sign one final big contract but needs to repair his image.

Another one is a championship since that's what fans should expect from a team featuring Harden, Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. It will be a massive letdown if the Clippers cannot win a title with that kind of elite talent on their roster.

There's gonna be a lot of pressure on Harden, who will be playing in his fourth team since 2021. He started that year with the Houston Rockets but forced his way out and was traded to the Brooklyn Nets.

When things didn't work out in Brooklyn, he asked out and was dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers last year. Now, Harden is set to play for the Clippers in what could be a very important season for him and the entire franchise.
