James Harden, Rockets Agree To Four-Year, $118M Renegotiated Extension

Jul 9, 2016 5:17 PM

James Harden and the Houston Rockets have agreed to a four-year, $118 million renegotiated extension.

The deal assures the Rockets of one additional year of Harden under contract in 2018-19 because of a player option that could return him to free agency in 2019.

"There's no indecision," Harden said at the news conference. "There's no doubt. There's new life."

Houston is allowed to use their own cap space to renegotiate the final two years of Harden's contract plus two new deals.

"We're building a new core with James here," Houston general manager Daryl Morey said at the news conference.

Harden had two years and $34.6 million left on his deal through 2018, and the renegotiation gives him nearly $10 million and $11 million raises on those salaries – and two new years in 2018-19 and 2019-20 at $30.4 million and $32.7 million a year, respectively.

In total, the Rockets are paying Harden an additional $83.5 million over the next four years.

Al Horford Meets With Hawks, Rockets, Wizards, Celtics, Mystery Team

Jul 1, 2016 11:55 PM

Al Horford held four meetings over the course of Friday and plans to make a decision on his future over the weekend.

Horford met with the Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards in addition to two other teams. The Boston Celtics also have a strong degree of interest in Horford and met with him, as did the Hawks.

With the Hawks re-signing Kent Bazemore and also signing Dwight Howard, the odds of him re-signing have become slim.

Brian Windhorst of ESPN reports the Hawks have been engaged in trade talks to free up cap space to re-sign Horford if he chooses to return.

Ramona Shelburne reports Horford also met with a mystery team. Horford has also yet to be offered the full max by the Hawks.
