[Toporek] .@KellyIko says Harden and Nick Nurse met in Houston after Danuel House opted in. “From that meeting, I’m told that James was pretty on board with everything that Nick Nurse was saying in terms of trying new ways to optimize him.”

> .@KellyIko also said: “In recent days, I’ve understood that Houston is no longer an option for James. I would call them out of the running.”
>He said “James was never interested in taking a discount two years in a row” and the Rockets were “never gonna pay him max money.”
He also said Clippers were now a darkhorse team for Harden, monitoring his situation.
a deal over three years is gonna do crazy damage to my mental stability
Only way Clippers can get him is through a sign and trade right? I’d do it for Norm Powell and Terance Mann tbh.
Fuck it Dude. Let’s go bowling.
3 years 120. Take it or leave it.
I really don’t think he will regress anymore, he’s gonna be an elite distributor for the 3 year deal and will maximize Embiid. Real piece is what to do with Tobias’s 40 mil before we extend Maxey and get murdered by the apron.
Embiid can be expected to be elite for at least another 3 years with his skill set so it lines up.
If we give him 4 years I’m taking the copium out and will be sad.
He’s most likely staying, probably max for 2 years with a player option to opt out after 1st year.
Ok now we got all the time in the world make sure this contract doesn’t fuck us over
Daniel House opted in?
