Harden signs extension with Houston

so is the idea to use our cap room this year on Harden in order to have more cap room in future years?

 

Excellent.

 

He's going to come overweigh this summer.

 

Hell yes.

I knew harden was committed to Houston.

 

eat **** assholes talking about him leaving

 

This off season is just one surprise after another. Trade for Boogie and GSW better tighten shorts, Rockets are ready for blast off.

Harden has just become a true Houston icon.

 

Was not expecting this. Excited about it, yes. Expecting it NO.

 

Nice...

 

No matter what we now will have three years at least instead of two to build smth around him before he bolts. And thats the important.

Yes!!!!!! THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!!!!

 

Sources: Over the next four years, Harden will now earn: $26.5M, $28.3M, $30.4M and a player option for $32.7M in 2019-'20.

Via Woj. Sorry don't know how to post tweets.

That's awesome news.

 

The beard is ours!!! PAY THE MAN!!!

 

Rockets usually never give extensions to players and never expected Harden to want/accept an extension.

This is great news! Tells every player in the league that Harden is 100% committed to Houston and now the Rockets don't have to worry about Harden possibly leaving in 2 years.

 

*splash* (its_happening.gif)?

 

Anti-Harden groupies faint

Great news. Good for him and us.

 

Finally someone getting max that's actually worth the max, other than Durant of course

 

So if the last yr is a player option then this only guarantees he's here for one more additional yr (since he already had two yrs on his contract).

 

Yesssssss!
