If the the deals for Tucker and House get reported tonight but not Harden, I am going to officially designate that as interesting.
(Note: I’m not saying Harden is going anywhere).

James Harden had to agree to a contract haircut for the Sixers to get P.J. Tucker. But he can make up some of the difference with his salary as Daryl Morey’s assistant GM. – 6:04 PM

“We’re that good”
Harden said on Jan 12 after the Nets, with KD/Kyrie, dominated the Bulls.
Just over 5 months later — Brooklyn’s title hopes are gone. This team packed more drama into 5 months than most teams do in 5 years. And the drama ultimately overwhelmed the organization – 4:37 PM

Never forget: James Harden was viewed as a malcontent for requesting a trade out of Brooklyn just 4 months ago.
“Is this guy ever going to be happy?”
Well, much like Harden, this would be Kevin Durant’s 4th career team. Is he being talked about in the same way today? – 3:52 PM

Props to @Brian Windhorst for being all over the Nets stuff, from the Harden-Simmons deal to the franchise ready to accept losing KD for their hard stance with Kyrie. Windy knows, man! @ESPNNBA – 3:42 PM

With James Harden reportedly open to taking a major pay cut, the Sixers now have some outside paths to building a super team. Or at least pushing forward with the stah hunting dream. – 3:26 PM

I’m feeling really good about the Sixers right now.
De’Anthony Melton and PJ Tucker are exactly what they needed. If they nail the BAE and Harden comes to camp in shape I’m ready to consider them true contenders again. – 11:08 PM

Believe a contract starting at $37 million for Harden, along with $10 million non-taxpayer MLE to Tucker and using the $4.1 million bi-annual exception (could do worse than Porter Jr.) would put the Sixers about $1 million below the $157 million with 15 players for 2022-23. – 8:08 PM

More on this storyline
Harden owns a $47 million player option for 2022-23 and the deadline to act on it is Wednesday at 5 p.m. ET. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the possibility of Harden declining that option and taking a discount to improve the Sixers’ financial freedom is something entertained by both the star guard and the organization. “In a perfect world for the Sixers, and I think in James Harden’s mind, opting out of that deal and then negotiating a new contract here when free agency opens, gives the Sixers a lot more financial flexibility to go and improve this team in the offseason,” Wojnarowski said. “He can still get long-term, guaranteed money or certainly guaranteed money at a very high number over a couple of years by opting out and it gives the Sixers the ability to add to their roster. -via Uproxx / June 30, 2022
Wojnarowski added that he believes “Harden’s gonna be in Philly … on a new deal,” one that would allow the Sixers to bolster their roster in free agency and “get better in the East to compete for a championship.” -via Uproxx / June 30, 2022
