More on this storyline

Daryl Morey on James Harden: “He’s been one of the most durable guys in NBA history prior to the hamstring issue. I know he’s worked hard to get it to a great place; it’s in a great place right now. But during our run last year, he’s never going to say, ‘I’m not 100 percent,’ because he doesn’t ever want to give any excuses, especially during the middle of a playoff run. And he’s also never going to want to indicate to his teammates or the other team that there’s an issue.” -via NBC Sports / September 13, 2022
Daryl Morey on James Harden: “Look, between the money he gave up and his commitment to the franchise from Day 1 to do what (head coach Doc Rivers) wants … I’m someone who looks at data quite a bit. All the players on the team’s shooting percentages went way up off passes from him. Our team overall was elevated after he came. Joel and James were the No. 1 pick-and-roll combo — really (in) years; it wasn’t just last season. It just shows the overall impact and how he’s lifting the whole team to help us win a title.” -via NBC Sports / September 13, 2022
To reach young adults who could benefit from learning about money matters, Harden’s Impact 13 Foundation is partnering with financial advisor Jordan Awoye, managing partner of Awoye Capital in Babylon, New York, on what is billed as a “financial literacy tour.” The initiative involves connecting with various colleges, where Awoye meets with small groups of students to talk about life and finances, and gives them access to a personal finance e-course that they can complete at their leisure. Through scholarships, Impact 13 is covering the $795 cost of licensing the e-course — developed by Awoye — which covers topics such as budgeting, debt, credit and investing. -via CNBC / September 13, 2022
Montrezl Harrell signed a two-year, $5.22M contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. He’ll make $2.46M in 2022-23 and $2.76M in 2023-24. The second year of contract is a player option. -via HoopsHype / September 13, 2022

Adrian Wojnarowski: ESPN Sources: Free agent C Montrezl Harrell is signing two-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, including a player option.
