Harden’s deal technically had three left but the last year was a player option, so if the player’s not content, it means next to nothing— especially for older players. Ben’s 25 with four years left guaranteed. It’s probably the craziest situation in terms of trying to pressure his way out that a player with this length of contact has ever displayed. People were, as you correctly pointed out, pretty flabbergasted by the Harden situation. And that was *half as long* as the Simmons deal. It’s bonkers.
