    So have the Vegas number changed for Harden imminent trade now? I'm sure the market just got hotter.

    Happy for the Bucks and @malakas i also really didn't want to see him go to LA or GS.

    Now Riley might push harder for Harden :eek::D

    I must say I salute him and much respect to him for re-signing.

    Huge bet he will not be there for 5 years. Giannis will cry after 2 years.

    I wonder if this will increase pressure for teams like the Heat...who were targeting Giannis all this time and now, well, the only elite player out there is Harden.

    After Giannis and James, who would be next available players, Oladipo? Maybe Kawhi if he opts out?

    Very surprised that he went ahead and signed it, but good for him. Glad to see a small market team keep one of their own.

    This should open up more suitors for Harden

    Agreed. Anyone who was holding out hope for Giannis (at the very least Miami) will now likely be more serious about going after Harden.

    Also, the picks/swaps from the Bucks in any hypothetical Harden trade with the Pelicans (which was always super unlikely anyways) are worth substantially less now.

    Took him long enough to do something everyone in the organisation knew since 2 months ago. Only 6 days before the deadline.

    Maybe who knows after the Bogdanovic fiasco he brought more demands like for example an agreement to fire Bud next year or to be traded if the team doesn't go deep again.
