The real reason Harden's willing to sign a short term contract is a strip club will open inside the Wells Fargo Center this summer.

I'm hoping he signs his player extension. 1 year at 45 million to see if he's cooked or not.

2/60 with a player option.

Essentially a 1 + 1.

Looks fair to me.

Be even better with a team option.

But, Harden might not go for the pay cut at all, let alone a team option.

Honestly, he's better off opting in.

Anyone else this it's a good idea for the Lakers to...

-get rid of LeBron & AD

-and surround Westbrick with players that can't shoot

I would be very happy with 2/60.

But, I'm guessing 2/75 or 2/80.

I think they panicked. The pick they got is basically useless.....I think they could have got a couple good players if they had waited and not just settled on the pick they did and the garbage they got.

I don't think they panicked.

I think they are incompetent.

Look at the deals post Morey, starting with Harden to the Nets.

Ffs, they are STILL insisting on a 1st founder for Gordon.

They don't have a fucking clue.

Rockets still want a first-rounder for Eric Gordon

Jake Fischer: After trading Christian Wood for its steady asking price of a first-round pick, Houston is still seeking a first-rounder for Eric Gordon, per sources.

Rafael Stone is either a moron or being told what deals to do.

Supposedly they turned down a first for Gordon at the deadline

 

[DJ Fieri]

You're the one who posted 3 years and 47 mill.

That's what the math comes out to.

I remember that too.

At this point, they’re pot committed after dealing assets for him so I’m ok with Harden back. At the same time, if he opts in, why give him the extension now?!?!? I’d rather they see it first with Harden having an off season to go back into the lab (yeah, I know, I’m laughing at this too but you gotta hope guy is using this time to reinvent his game to fit Embiid and Vice versa for Jo). If they shed Harris this season and then Harden 47 million comes off the books after this year, they can be a player for a nice size 25-30 million FA next summer. So I’m not a fan of the extension that comes in this report. Opt in is fine by me and I was expecting it. No reason for the Sixers to extend until they see it though.
