James Harden wanted contract certainty after this season, and the Clippers made it clear at midseason that they hadn't decided whether to pick up his $42 million team option -- $13 million guaranteed -- for next season. When both sides showed their cards, Harden's representation got permission to find a team willing to commit to him. The Cavs were willing. Though a formal agreement is not allowed to be completed before the offseason, there is an understanding that the Cavs plan to work out a new deal to retain Harden, sources said. Before the move, they must have had an understanding because Harden could have vetoed any trade.
