Just caught wind of this.

guyhopestowin · Answer

this is totally stealing, and bad intended contract

I've been living in Houston for last 7 years, went to many Rockets games, especially last year

I didn't go to last home game, where Harden, intentionally did not play at all, sold the game (if he did not play any minute, would be better for Rockets), and that night hitting strip club

And Rockets giving this bum that contract?

I wish I can get refund on all tickets I purchased, and team products I bought :)

Never ever again I will spend a dime for Rockets

Leslie Alexander, and Daryl Morey are more bums than Harden

And I am sure Harden&#x27;s stats will decrease this season. I will usually place under prop bets on Harden throughout the season

Harden is a top 5 player in the NBA how is it stealing?  The guy is a straight baller he earned the contract.

IndyHoosier · Answer

To be clear, he added 4 years to the 2 he had remaining, for a total (including extention) for $228.

Still $38 million per year average over the next 6 though.

I get your disbelief, but this is all due to the new TV deals the league has locked up, and it's in turn increased the salary cap.

So in other words, they're getting their "market value."

Apparently more people watch the shitt than we realize.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo don&#x27;t even make that much fro m their clubs and their worldwide brands far exceed James Hardens. Just to clarify Football/Soccer has gone batshit crazy in transfer fees/wages as well but that is like 800k POUNDS a week!

Yates · Answer

Forgot my comment above as it seems Hardens old contract is still factored in. He&#x27;s probably getting less than Messi and Ronaldo now.

What don&#x27;t  you understand?....ESPN &amp; TNT is paying the NBA $24 BILLION over 9 years....Teams have to spend the $$$.  Would you rather give Harden $40 Million a season or......Evan Turner &amp; Allen Crabbe $35 Million?....

Kystar · Answer

Good for him, I&#x27;m all for anyone making money due to their particular skill.

sports_Network · Answer

Is Harden suppose to say, "NO, that&#x27;s to much, the fans won&#x27;t like me, I am making to much money" they offered the $228m to me, I didn&#x27;t ask for it, I accepted it! who degrades any player for getting the best deal possible? answer: a jelous moron, who&#x27;s never seen a $700 a week paycheck, nor does he comprehend the Capitalism initiated into U.S.  society over the past 160&#x2B; years...

undermysac · Answer

Not bad $ for a guy who doesn&#x27;t play defense

LETGOPACK1234 · Answer

In the last year of the contract, Harden will be making $570,000 per game, or $12,000 per 1 min of basketball...in 5 mins of a game, he will make more than 50% of people make in a year of work....

guyhopestowin · Answer

that is exactly what I am trying to say, and some people still say he deserves this. Sad for these people reallyI can talk in general wise no professional athlete deserves to make $12k per 1 min of action, but this topic will keep going on forever then
