James Harden turned down a two-year, $103 million contract extension offer from the Houston Rockets.
\nHarden has three years remaining on his deal ($133 million left).<\/p>\n

Per ESPN<\/a>, After turning down the chance to become the first $50 million per year player in league history, Houston Rockets All-NBA guard James Harden has made it clear to ownership that he’s singularly focused on a trade to the Brooklyn Nets, sources told ESPN.<\/p>\n
