Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden has until June 29 to decide whether to pick up his $47.4 million player option for the 2022-23 NBA season or decline it to become an unrestricted free agent.
Teams can only receive a certain amount of salary in a trade based on how much they send out. Any teams over the luxury-tax threshold can take back only 125 percent of the salary they trade away, plus $100,000. By packaging Green with Furkan Korkmaz or Matisse Thybulle , the Sixers could receive a player earning around $18-19 million next season, and they'd still have their taxpayer MLE to spend in free agency, too.
last summer to sign a four-year, $120 million contract with only $75 million guaranteed. Harden might not be willing to takemuch of a discount—Paul was 36 when he signed his new deal, while Harden turns 33 in August—but even taking a few million less than his max salary next season could give the Sixers access to the full non-taxpayer MLE and bi-annual exception.
The Sixers should prefer a bit more flexibility than that, as being unable to exceed the apron could limit the types of midseason trades and signings they could pull off. Ideally, Harden would take no more than $40 million as his starting salary in 2022-23, which would give them a few million in wiggle room under the hard cap.
If Harden picks up his player option, he can't officially sign a three- or four-year extension until Aug. 10 at the earliest. Free agency begins at 6 p.m. ET on June 30, so the Sixers would have to execute the rest of their offseason plans before locking Harden in beyond 2022-23. That long-term uncertainty might deter some free agents from choosing the Sixers' offer over roughly equivalent contracts elsewhere.
