How Will James Harden Fit In With Clippers? Paul George Emphasizes on Big-4?s ?Sacrifices? for Championship Pursuit

The Los Angeles Clippers have become one of the top contenders to win the title this season. They already had a Big 3 of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook in their squad. Now, they have added another All-Star caliber player to their roster, James Harden. After months of drama with the Philadelphia 76ers, Harden finally got what he asked for. Philly traded The Beard to the LA Clippers along with PJ Tucker and Filip Petrusev.

Now that James Harden is a part of the Clippers roster, head coach Tyronn Lue will have to figure out how to fit the former MVP in an already loaded roster. Clippers forward Paul George revealed the conversation between the Clippers Big-4 and Tyronn Lue and emphasized the ?sacrifices? required to win a championship.

The Clippers Big-4 are looking at the bigger picture

Paul George revealed on his podcast that the Clippers Big-4 had a conversation with head coach Tyronn Lue about their roles going forward. ?All four of us are superstars, great players, but there?s gotta be sacrifices,? PG said, revealing the gist of the conversation. James Harden, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and Russell Westbrook are all ball-dominant players, and they have been the best players on a team at some stage in their careers. So, it will be a big adjustment for all four superstars to play together and let the other players shine while they take a backseat.

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George will most likely be the primary scorers for the Clippers in most of the games. Russ and Harden will have to seek their moments and sometimes facilitate the offense for the second unit while Kawhi and PG rest. Paul George further revealed that all superstars agreed to the terms, and it was an ?easy conversation?.

The James Harden-LA Clippers fit

James Harden made it clear throughout the summer that he wanted to play alongside Kawhi Leonard and Paul George in LA. Harden might not be the player he was in Houston, but he is still an elite point guard. He had an All-Star-caliber year last season, averaging 21 points and 10.7 assists. The Beard can be the primary point guard for the Clippers and use his ability to facilitate the offense to get easy shots for Kawhi and PG.
