Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden has declined his $42.3 million player option for the upcoming season and is currently negotiating a new contract with the team after entering free agency, according to insider Shams Charania.
The anticipated new deal is expected to reduce the Cavaliers’ salary cap burden for the next season, providing greater flexibility amid tax threshold constraints.
Cleveland acquired Harden from the Los Angeles Clippers before last season’s trade deadline, sending Darius Garland and a second-round draft pick in return. The 36-year-old averaged 19.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.7 steals per game, playing a key role in leading the team to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.
