Obese Harden incoming...
He'll be 34 in two weeks. His next long-term deal is probably his last one.Harden would be an idiot to self-sabotage himself just to get out of Philly considering that he's looking for a long term deal after the season.

I think it was more so the Clippers not wanting to do the deal and give up what assets they do have left than Philly because of the uncertainty around the future of PG and Kawhi.Philly probably told him they were extending him which is why he signed the 1 and 1 in the first place. I’m shocked they couldn’t pull a deal off with the clippers since they have assets to move
He's not getting a long term deal regardlessHarden would be an idiot to self-sabotage himself just to get out of Philly considering that he's looking for a long term deal after the season.
And that's exactly the premise of my point. Him self sabotaging himself and showing up out of shape is going to make that task even more harder than it is now.He's not getting a long term deal regardless
He just led the league in assists and had no suitors
There's nothing he can do short of turning the clock back to being Houston Harden for an entire season that's gonna get him a long term deal
