"The Houston Rockets remade their roster this summer, adding free agents like Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon who should help them keep up in the Western Conference race.
But James Harden, by way of a contract renegotiation that the team announced on Saturday, will remain their centerpiece player.
With Harden two years away from being a free agency headliner, the Rockets made the preemptive move to lock him up long-term for the second time since he came to town via trade with Oklahoma City in Oct. 2012. His new agreement, according to a person with knowledge of the deal, is for four years and $118 million with a player option in the final season. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because contract terms are typically not publicized.
