Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Updated #sixers salary cap page, plugging in details of Harden’s contract. Have them with a bit over $3.4m in space below the hard cap, but they can create a bit more space if need be because the Bassey/Reed/Joe/Queen contracts are not fully guaranteed.

Chris Mannix: Daryl Morey — with an assist from Harden — has had a brilliant offseason. Harden’s salary reduction freed the Sixers to sign Tucker, House — and Philly may not be done dealing. -via Twitter @SIChrisMannix / July 20, 2022
Bobby Marks: James Harden has earned $272M in his career before the recent contract. If he elects to take $1M, $10M or $$33M, the more power to him. It’s his money and he has the right to do whatever he wants. -via Twitter @BobbyMarks42 / July 20, 2022
Christos Tsaltas: James Harden stays at Sixers 2022-23: $33M 2023-24: $35.6M He left on the table player’s option helping the Sixers for future moves. Harden wants a championship in Philly. #Sixers -via Twitter @Tsaltas46 / July 20, 2022
