James Harden has signed a three-year, $97 million contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which includes a player option for the 2028-29 season and a trade kicker. After averaging 20.5 points, 7.7 assists, and 4.8 rebounds in 26 games with the team last season, he played a crucial role in their journey to the Eastern Conference finals. The Cavaliers are also focused on retooling their roster, recently acquiring Peyton Watson in a multi-team trade. This deal suggests that Harden will likely finish his career in Cleveland, barring any future trades.
