Brian Windhorst: I don’t suppose simply because James Harden opts out of his participant possibility, which I might count on him to do, it implies that he’s leaving. He took a big pay minimize final 12 months to assist the Sixers construct up that roster they usually did, they signed P.J. Tucker, they traded for Melton. And so Harden, frankly, is in slightly little bit of debt primarily based on his manufacturing. So I count on the Sixers’ provide to be significantly greater on no matter variety of years it’s. The indications are that Harden goes to stay in Philadelphia. I might not say for positive it’s a completed deal however these are the indications. It actually will come all the way down to what kind of contract they negotiate. They’ll rise up to 4 years. I’m positive Philadelphia, with a 33-year-old, would love it shorter. And people are the negotiations they’ve been engaged on in current weeks.
