James Harden heading towards opting into contract, extending it with 76ers for two more years

June 22, 2022 by Hoops Hype

Kyle Neubeck: Here’s what Woj said on SC: “James Harden is headed toward opting in to that 47 million player option, and then extending by perhaps as many as two more years, at a significant number with the Sixers. Likely something short of a max contract, but still a significant commitment”

When the Sixers got James Harden, a family friend got my dad this beard and surprised him with it at a dinner in Naples, FL. Suffice it to say, he wore it the whole dinner, in 80-degree weather.

More on this storyline

Rubin might no longer have a financial stake in HBSE, which was recently valued as being worth $3 billion. But he said his allegiance to the Sixers and interest in helping them achieve their goal will remain the same. “I’ll probably go to less games, but when there’s something going down that’s massive, I’ll stop what I’m doing to help. That’s who I am. That’s what I like doing,” he said. “I consider Josh [Harris] and Blitzer to be family. I consider Joel [Embiid] and James [Harden] to be family. And I look at Daryl and [head coach] Doc [Rivers] the same way. I have a lot of investment in the group and will do whatever I can to help those guys in whatever small way I can.” -via FoxSports.com / June 22, 2022
We caught up with the Philadelphia head coach as he was leaving E Baldi in Bev Hills this week … and he told us he’s sure Harden, who the 76ers acquired this past season, has a massive new contract coming his way. “Huge deal,” Rivers said. Doc added that he’s “excited” about coaching JH, explaining, “I love him.” -via TMZ.com / June 22, 2022
Kevin O’Connor on James Harden: I’ve been told that (Sixers) ownership wants him to opt into the $46.9 million deal for the 22/23 season, which no surprise. I’ve been told Morey he wants that to be a three-year deal. -via Spotify / June 19, 2022
