https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...adelphia-76ers-enters-free-agency-sources-say Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden has declined his $47.3 million option and will become a free agent, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Wednesday. _______ Harden's own words: “What can I write? What words can convey all the ways I feel,” Harden wrote. “Houston you welcomed me with no guarantees. Took a leap of faith and it changed my life and the lives of my family forever. This organization, this city has given me everything I could ask for and more. “Before the scoring titles long before MVP you believed. For that I am forever indebted. The city opened its arms and welcomed me and my family as one of its own and for that I am forever indebted. I gave my mind body and soul in hopes of bringing the glory to the city. I fell short and for that I am forever indebted. It’s far from a good bye as I pay all my debts. TMC H Town!” ------ My own thoughts: "It's far from a goodbye as I pay all my debts." Paying debts can mean a lot of things, but it spells loyalty the way he said it. That's my opinion, but is there a chance that he's playing the Sixers, played the Nets, but at the root of it he's really paying debts and he's coming back here to attempt to win it all? It wasn't enough, the team didn't have enough to win it all when he left in '20, but does he come back by any chance? Did he mean it? He pays all his debts? We should be that lucky. We're Houston.
On one hand, I'd want Jalen to learn as much from Harden as possible, on the other, I'd want Jalen to stay as far away from Harden as possible.
It would b nice. But unless he returns back to Harden of the old, I rather he not come back. reading the endless btching from anti harden folks in every game thread isn't worth it
