Adidas has submitted a bid of $200 million over 13 years to sign Houston Rockets guard James Harden. Nike, whose deal with Harden recently expired, has until the end of next week to match the deal or lose him.
A $200 million offer is huge, considering it represents half of what the brand paid for 11 seasons as the NBA's official uniform supplier.
With incentives Harden could very well make more from Adidas in the coming years than the Rockets.
