Harden and his agent fukked up big on this one. They thought that they could just extend talks past the next offseason and get a max contract, and Presti just threw him to the bushes ASAP! I can't front, that's boss shyt by Presti right there.
Harden getting more then the 52 million extension, it may not be max but it will be more
and the Rockets weren't going to trade for someone who wants a max deal and not give to him and risk losing him for nothing
