According to a follow-up report by BR reporter Tyler Conway, teams other than 76 people can provide Harden with a contract of 4 years and 0.2017 billion years old. Due to the 38-year-old rule, 76 people can only provide contracts of 4 years and 0.2101 billion years (Harden is currently 33 years old and 269 days old). In this sense, the labor agreement limits the influence of 76 people, and let Harden consider the external suitors more seriously.
