The rumors that point to the future of James Harden have not dissipated. At the beginning of last March, the media The Athletic reported that the Houston Rockets will try to close the return of the shooting guard in the offseason.
Now, he is the journalist of ESPN, Adrian Wojnarowski, who has taken up this information by ensuring that Harden’s signing with the Rockets emerges as a potential scenario that is on the table. Of course, subject to certain conditions and results in the short term.
Thus, Wojnarowski points out that the role of the Philadelphia 76ers, his current team, in the playoffs could largely determine what happens to the player. “The future of James Harden in Philadelphia is not very clear,” said the journalist on his podcast. “Houston is still watching him. And I think a lot could depend on whether they do well in the playoffs and win. Paying him a lot of money in the long run, or if he just wants to be in Houston, will also be there. But a lot will depend on whether he wins or loses. Of the team’s success.”
Harden extended his contract with the 76ers last offseason in a two-year, $68.6 million deal. However, the second year is subject to a player option that he may very well turn down in order to sign one last big contract. If I continued in PhillyHarden aspires to a maximum contract of up to five seasons and 272 million dollars.
