It wasn’t the sizable contract James Harden had sought from his previous team but it was enough to make him stay with the Clippers. Harden reportedly agreed to a two-year, $70 million deal Sunday to return to the Clippers. The second year has a player option.
The Athletics’ Shams Charania first reported the signing.
Last fall, Harden sought a max contract from the Philadelphia 76ers but the team balked, causing friction between the future Hall of Fame point guard and Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey.
