James Harden has agreed to a new contract which will keep him with the Philadelphia 76ers for at least one more year. Harden became an unrestricted free agent this summer. His new contract will offer him considerably less than the one he just left, presumably to help the Sixers preserve room for further moves to keep them in contention in the NBA’s Eastern Conference.
Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports broke the news of the deal:
Free agent star James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers have reached an agreement on a two-year, $68 million deal with a player option, league sources tell @YahooSports.
