Daily News | Fair question for the Sixers: How much is James Harden worth in a contract extension?
Even before Daryl Morey was named president of basketball operations on Nov. 2, 2020, the team had been in pursuit of James Harden. The Sixers unsuccessfully tried to trade for him in January 2021 before the Houston Rockets sent the guard to the Brooklyn Nets.
Harden did look good against the Heat in Game 4 of this series. He knocked down his patented step-back three-pointer on that night, but he failed to produce outside of that one game. Harden has said that he’ll opt into his $47.3 million player option for next season. If he picks that up, he’ll be eligible to sign a four-year, $233 million contract extension with the Sixers that would pay him $61.7 million in the 2026-27 season.
Asked if he’s willing to take less money in an extension, Harden said he’s willing to do “whatever it takes to help this team continue to grow and put us up there with the best of them.” “I’ll do that later,” he said. “I’m not going to do that after the game. We all showed up to the win the game. Not one of us didn’t, all right?
