Two weeks from the beginning of NBA free agency on June 30 at 6 p.m. ET, all
signs point toward All-Star guard James Harden returning to the Philadelphia
76ers on a shorter-term contract extension, league sources told B/R.

Harden and Sixers leadership are aligned on one clear directive, sources
said: The franchise's best opportunity to compete for a championship starring
Joel Embiid, as well as Harden's optimal opportunity to earn his first NBA
ring, resides with Harden playing in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future.

Sixers ownership, though, has been resistant to the idea of giving Harden a
full four-year maximum contract extension beyond his 2022-23 option season,
sources told B/R, or the five-year deal that Harden would be eligible for if
he chose to decline his $47.4 million player option for next season. Signing
perhaps a two-year extension after his option season to create a new
three-year framework would also provide Harden with greater optionality for
his own career.

In any scenario, Harden is expected to pick up his player option for the
2022-23 season, sources said, but the Sixers' further financial commitment to
him remains to be seen once the legal negotiating period begins. Since
Philadelphia acquired Harden in a trade in mid-February, it would behoove him
financially to wait until Aug. 10 before signing an extension, more than six
months after the Sixers sent Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two
first-round picks to Brooklyn for the 32-year-old former MVP.

Until that six-month benchmark, Philadelphia would only be allowed to offer
Harden 105 percent of his 2022-23 salary in the first year of a two-year
extension, followed by a 5 percent raise for the second year, for a rough
total of $149.3 million through 2024-25. If Harden waits until Aug. 10 to
sign his extension, he could receive an 8 percent raise on the second year of
the extension, which would net him a total of $150.8 million, according to
cap calculations provided to B/R. If Harden opts out, the maximum he can earn
on a new three-year deal would be $150.7 million.

There has also been plenty of talk among league personnel of Harden
potentially taking less than his maximum salary to amplify Philadelphia's
efforts to build a championship-contending rotation around Harden and Embiid.

詳情不一一翻譯了
幫大家節錄重點

1.哈登會跟76人簽一份較短的合約

2.哈登跟76人管理層達成共識 認為目前是76人衝擊冠軍最好的時刻

3.76人老闆 拒絕提供給哈登一份完整的四年頂薪合同

4.哈登有可能會主動降薪 打造更好的爭冠陣容

短評或心得：

內文還有寫到很多合約的計算方式
這部分小弟不太了解很怕翻譯錯誤
再請大神補充了~~
