James Harden signs extension with Rockets





The Houston Rockets announced they've signed star guard James Harden to a four-year contract extension.

The extension is for $118 million and runs through the 2019-20 season.

The announcement came after the introduction of free agents Eric Gordon and forward Ryan Anderson.

"I'm truly excited more than ever," Harden said. "Ever since I stepped foot in Houston, it's nothing but love. ... I'm happy to be here another four years. It's been a progress. It's been a build up. The addition of our new signings and a couple other pieces, good things are going to happen next year."

Harden came to Houston before the 2012-2013 season via a trade from Oklahoma City. With Houston he's become one of the NBA's elite scorers.

"There's no indecision," Harden said of what signing the contract does for the franchise. "There's no doubt."
