Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doc Rivers is impressed with James Harden taking a pay cut to sign a new deal with the team.
James Harden will be receiving a significant pay cut for the upcoming season as a result of signing a new two-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. In year two of the contract, Harden now has a new player option after opting not to activate his $47 million player option.

The head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers Doc Rivers is pretty happy to see Harden taking a pay cut in order to win a championship with the 76ers. He said, “I couldn’t be happier with James’ decision to commit to our organization. Over the last two years we have taken major steps toward our ultimate goal of becoming champions. James shares our drive to win a title.”
