Was out walking my dog and passed by a young kid shooting on a hoop in his driveway. He was taking step back threes. Told him he looked like James Harden.
He shook his head and said, Brandon Ingram.

#NBA story: James Harden allows the #Sixers to bolster roster by accepting $15 million less than he could’ve earned for the 2022-23 season. They are capable of taking back more money in a trade, too: https://t.co/lGN8nYB0zx pic.twitter.com/yskWEs5rGR – 8:59 PM

Per @Shams Charania, James Harden plans to sign a “one-plus-one” contract that includes a $15 million pay cut this season.

Royce O’Neale said he got a call from Taurean Prince, his fellow Baylor Bear, shortly after getting traded to the Nets. “You’re going to love it there,” Prince told him. Prince, who was dealt by BK in the James Harden trade, vouched for Sean Marks and the rest of the org. – 8:03 PM

James Harden will reportedly sign a two-year deal with the Sixers, giving him a starting salary of ~$32.4 million, with the second year a player option.
Here’s how that impacts the Sixers, both in the short and long term.

While a deal still has to be fully agreed to and signed, a $15 million James Harden paycut and 1+1 deal would (and has) helped the Sixers, giving Harden a chance to rediscover his MVP form without needing to take on long-term risk phillyvoice.com/james-harden-1… – 3:36 PM

the idea that Harden willingly left $15 million on the table solely b/c he cares about the Sixers and is only focused on a title is humorous.
Harden has seen his value drop dramatically and (unlike Kyrie) he was willing to accept this new reality and frame it as an unselfish act pic.twitter.com/cHWudql1ox – 3:11 PM

Wrote in February about the Sixers’ belief that James Harden would be willing to take less to bolster Philly’s roster. As @Shams Charania reports, he has done just that. Big win for Daryl Morey & Co.

A $15m paycut would take Harden’s salary to approx $32,400,000.
Factoring in all the other moves they’ve made this offseason, they have roughly $5,364,368 below the apron. – 3:09 PM

More on this storyline
Shams Charaia: Sources: James Harden is taking a $15 million paycut for next season that allowed Philadelphia to elevate roster — with sole focus on a championship run in 2023. Harden opted out of his $47M player option and now plans to sign a new two-year deal with a player option in Year 2. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / July 8, 2022
Shams Charania: Everyone around Harden has understood the focus on his workout regimen this offseason and a championship goal for 2022-23. His close relationships with those around the organization, including Michael Rubin and Daryl Morey, played a major role in trust between the two sides. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / July 8, 2022
