The money keeps flowing as NBA free agency continues with huge contracts being granted left and right to players as nearly $3 billion in guaranteed money as being given to players so far this offseason.
Among the biggest deals of the week was James Harden’s record-setting $228 million contract extension to remain with the Houston Rockets through 2022-23.
Free agency began at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, July 1. Free agents can sign contracts at any time now that the NBA’s moratorium period has ended.
