Because Harden took a significant pay cut from his $47.4 million amount, the Sixers gained access to the $10.5 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception and the $4.1 million bi-annual exception. They used the non-taxpayer mid-level exception to sign PJ Tucker to three years, $33 million, and the bi-annual exception to sign Danuel House to two years, $8.4 million.
