James Harden's
contract with the Philadelphia 76ers has not been finalized.
However, it will include a significant
pay cut for the 2022/23 NBA season so that the Sixers have more cap space to fill the rest of their roster. They used this space
to sign P.J. Tucker and Danuel house (both Harden's former Houston teammates), were signed along with Trevelin queen.
There are still possible moves. Harden spoke with Yahoo Sports about his motivations for signing a team-friendly
contract. Harden stated that he had spoken with Daryl [Morey, Sixers president of basketball operations], and they
explained how we could improve and what the market value for certain players." I told Daryl to improve our
roster, sign the players we need and then give me any surplus. This is how badly I want to win. I want to be a
champion. At this point, that's all I care about. To make it possible, I will take less. It's easy to take a pay cut if you have
as much money as Harden over the course his career. It's nice to see Harden putting his team first in an era
where loyalty is often secondary. So far, Harden is pleased with the decisions the team has made because he left
some money. He said, "I believe we have a deeper team." We wanted to address that. Our team is well-positioned
