Daily News | James Harden picks up $35.6 million option with Sixers, could soon be traded
On Thursday, the Sixers point guard picked up the $35.6 million player option on his contract for next season, according to a league source.
If he opted out, Harden could have received a maximum salary of around $210 million over four years with the Sixers, who have his Bird rights. That enables them to offer him a larger contract than other teams. He could have made up to $201.7 million with another team. But with Harden at 33 years old and prone to struggles in the postseason, it’s unlikely any team would want to max him out for four years.that they’re not willing to hinder their short- or long-term future by overpaying for Harden.
This could be a great scenario for the Sixers. They were aware that not re-signing Harden would put them in a tough spot if he opted out.
