This is a not too unexpected result. Harden's performance last season was not outstanding, especially in the playoffs , where he averaged only 18.6 points and 8.6 assists per game, and also had 4.2 turnovers. This performance is inconsistent with The previous "rocket landings" cannot be compared, and can even be said to be far different, so it is difficult to win an early renewal of the maximum-salary contract for such a performance.
Therefore, it is not surprising for Harden that he exercised the player option and earned $47.36 million first. And his two-year short-term contract extension is also a guarantee for both parties.

This deal is also very necessary for the 76ers. They currently only have an orthodox No. 5 position in Embiid, so they will definitely add a center as Embiid's substitute this summer. Why do they like Fourth Brother?
