Age: 32 (Turning 33 in August)
Stats: 22 points, 10.3 assists, 7.7 rebounds per game in 65 games this season.
Status: Player Option ($42.7 million)
Rationale: Harden is in a very similar boat to his former teammate, Kyrie Irving. Both are on the wrong side of 30, coming off lackluster years, and have a player option for the final year of their contracts. Should Harden try his luck in free agency, it would be a mistake for the Hawks to pursue the aging superstar.
