It was a matter of when – not if – James Harden would sign his contract extension with the Cavs. But now, it appears Harden will sign a contract extension with the Cavs soon, according to ESPN’s Marc Spears on NBA Today. Marc Spears on where things stand between James Harden and the Cavs:"The Cavaliers are working through different iterations of a deal, trying to come up with something that's best for James and also best for them.

Now, it’s just a matter of how many years and dollars Harden will receive in a contract extension with the Cavs.
