James Harden could have received $ 47 million during the 2022/2023 season. For this, this summer he had to activate the last year of his contract. In the end he didn’t. He was therefore free to sign where he wanted and decided to leave with the Sixers for another two years, the second of which was also optional.
So this year he will finally earn $ 33 million. “It was the right decision to make, not just for me, but for the franchise, to give us the best chance of putting the pieces of the puzzle together.”He explained.
The attacking midfielder then gave up $ 14 million, which allowed the Sixers to recruit during the offseason. Faced with this financial sacrifice, which doesn’t happen every day among NBA stars, the former Houston player wished he had more compliments.
“But guess what? I don’t care. It’s like there’s a cliché about me: People always like to talk about Harden. They don’t know me, so they feel like they can say something. If there’s one thing I’m not to do, is to give them attention. I’m not going to say anything publicly or in the media. I don’t care because I’m comfortable with what I do on and off the pitch. I’m lucky to be in this position and will continue to be myself. ” .
