Live Bar, June 11 News Keith Pompey, a reporter from Philadelphia inquiry, previously reported that Harden was expected to reunite with the old club rockets as a free agent this summer. Yahoo sports reporter Jake Fischer said that some members of the alliance rumored that The Sun wanted to trade Harden with Paul.
76-person journalist Aidan LaPorta said: “James Harden has little interest in returning to Houston (rocket). He is just using them (rockets) to leverage the contract lever. The only team that threatened 76 people (leaving Harden) was Phoenix Suns. The sun can get Harden by signing first and then changing. They have Paul (and other chips).”
Paul’s contract still has 2 years left, and the salary for the 2023-24 season is 30.8 million dollars (of which the guaranteed amount is 15.8 million dollars). If Paul is still in the sun array after June 29, then his contract for the new season will be transferred to full guarantee; In the 2024-25 season, Paul’s contract is not guaranteed ($30 million). Harden’s contract next season is a player option worth 35.64 million dollars, and he is expected to jump out of the contract.
