According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, Harden voluntarily waited to finalize his new deal with Cleveland while the Cavaliers explored a sign-and-trade for restricted free agent Peyton Watson. Harden had already declined a player option worth more than $42 million before entering free agency. Now, with Cleveland trying to create enough flexibility to pursue one of the league’s most promising young three-and-D wings, his next contract has become one of the biggest variables in the Cavaliers’ plans. This is not the first time Harden has left money on the table in pursuit of a championship. But will Cleveland reward his patience by completing the roster—or will Harden’s latest sacrifice go to waste? #JamesHarden #PeytonWatson #ClevelandCavaliers #Cavs #NBAFreeAgency #NBATrades #NBA #NBANews #HoopsArchives All resources are from online sources.
