James Harden declines player option, heads to free agency with new deal expected

Brandon King

James Harden is officially headed to free agency after declining his $42.3 million player option for the 2026-27 season. While the move makes Harden an unrestricted free agent, there is little expectation around the league that he’ll be changing teams. Instead, the decision is widely viewed as a financial maneuver that allows him and the Cleveland Cavaliers to negotiate a new multi-year contract.

Brandon King

For a long time, Colin Cowherd has been one of the more prominent members of the Lebron James Appreciation Society, singing his praises from the proverbial mountaintop of his radio show, at the expense of nearly every other all-time great and era.  In a surprising about-face from his standard LeBron pom-pom shaking, the national sports personality offered a pointed take on the “Lebron James effect” has on franchises: “I have a very strong belief- owners should own, GMs should GM, coaches should coach, players should play.

Starting the season with six losses in six games is not the way the Cavaliers envisioned starting their season, even in the post Leboncalypse era. Even though the team is bringing back 11 players from last year’s roster, without the confines of the LeBron James system, the roles on the team are vastly different and there will be an adjustment period.

James and Love with big games as Cavaliers defeat Raptors 128-110 in Game 2

Brandon King

It is not looking good for the Toronto Raptors. After absolutely gifting game 1 to Cleveland, game 2 was the most important game of the Raptors’ season. Apparently everyone knew that except the Toronto Raptors themselves. Powered by 43 points and 14 assists from Lebron James and 31 points and 11 rebounds from Kevin Love, the Cavaliers defeated the Raptors 128-110 to go up 2-0 in their second-round playoff series. Unlike Game 1 where the Raptors let a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, Toronto did not mess around in…
