James Harden agrees to an extension with the 76ers

The 76ers have agreed to terms with James Harden for a new contract extension. Harden’s new contract is set for two-years, $67 million. This deal is a great deal for Philly as they have more financial flexibility to add players and improve their roster.

Harden opted out of his $47 million player option, this ultimately allowed the Sixers to save $15 million dollars for the upcoming season. The extra $15 million will help the Sixers to sign more players and make more transactions.

While the contract he signed seems like a lot for two years, it isn’t. This is a better deal for the #Sixers as they are now financially flexible to make improvements to their team. James Harden made the smart, respectable decision. #NBA #NBAFreeAgency https://t.co/p3RL15CjZI
