But then, does Harden enjoy what he has with the 76ers, or is he looking to return to a comfortable Houston environment?”Ĭharles Barkley Calls Out James Harden, Joel Embiid “Compared to Philadelphia, Houston has greater financial flexibility but no one on par with Embiid. Pincus finished by saying that the Rockets have more cap room, but no one as good as Joel Embiid, which could play a factor in his final decision. While Philadelphia can beat that, that may be more than the franchise is willing to provide-and with no state taxes in Texas, Harden may net more with the Rockets.”
Houston has the cap room to offer a four-season $201.7 million maximum contract. “A shorter deal for Harden may appeal more to the franchise, but that may drive him to look elsewhere, including a potential return to the Houston Rockets. Pincus said that the Sixers may prefer offering Harden a shorter deal, but if the Houston Rockets are willing to offer more years, that could lure him away. Still, keeping payroll down won’t be easy, with over $50 million per season committed to Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey expecting a healthy extension this offseason,” Pincus said. “The franchise can afford a significant tax bill in the immediate term since Tobias Harris will come off after this next season (heading into his final year at $39.3 million). While talking about Harden’s future, Pincus said paying Harden immediately won’t be an issue for the Philadelphia 76ers, but could be in the long term.
