Reese, Pam and Alex discuss James Harden resigning with the Clippers.

James Harden declined his $36.3M player option for the 2025–26 season, making him an unrestricted free agent—though both sides always indicated he'd return to the Los Angeles Clippers. He’s in line to sign a new 2‑year, $81.5 million deal with L.A., potentially keeping him with the team through 2027, with an option after the first year. Harden had a resurgent season averaging 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists, earning All-NBA Third Team honors and his 11th All-Star nod.

Reese seems to believe Harden is a bust, not a baller. Is he right?
