James Harden has agreed to a new three-year, $97 million contract to remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The deal includes a player option and a trade kicker, Harden’s agents Mike Silverman, Troy Payne and Brandon Grier of Equity Sports told ESPN.
The contract will take Harden’s career earnings to $511 million, making him only the fourth player in NBA history to surpass the $500 million mark. He joins Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James, Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant and Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry.
Harden, who turns 37 on August 26, will also become just the second player in league history to sign a contract worth more than $90 million in guaranteed salary at age 37 or older, after James.
