Harden Signs $97M Cavs Deal | Cleveland Cavaliers News

James Harden just signed a $97 million deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, locking him in through 2029 — making him one of only four players ever to earn over $500 million in their careers. At 37, he’s now the second player (behind LeBron) to land a guaranteed contract worth $90M+ at that age, and ranks fourth all-time in career earnings. Despite a rollercoaster 2023-24 season — traded mid-year, playoff heroics, and a tough loss in the ECF — Harden remains a top-tier scorer and playmaker. Off the court, a dismissed Houston weapon possession case clears his path forward. With 17 seasons, an MVP, multiple scoring titles, and All-Star honors, Harden proves he still has gas — and Cleveland believes he’s far from done.
