Ryan Anderson signed a contact with the Houston Rockets that will pay him about $20 million per year for four years. James Harden was all set to make about $18 million per year for the next two seasons. Rockets owner Leslie Alexander, however, had no intention of allowing anybody on his team to make more money than the Beard.
Harden signed a four-year contract extension worth $118 million, ensuring that the best and most important player on the Rockets would be paid as such. Now, to a mixed opinion of fans and analysts, he’s locked in with Houston until 2019 with a player option for the 2019-2020 season.
