So he's eligible for a supermax extension after this year, which adds something like 4 years and $225 million to his current deal; he will become a UFA after next year. It sounds straightforward to just walk away, but remember they gave up a fairly decent haul for him. To trade the package they did just for Harden to be an extended rental would be dubious asset management.....but, yeah Harden just looks very washed right now. Hasn't taken over 20 shots in a single game in Philly, which is hard to believe considering how much he dominated the ball in his prime years.
