he didn't "fumble" it, he just didn't want it. same way he didn't want the one Houston offered him to try and get him to stay, and same way he didn't force Philly to pay up right away and instead gave them a discount. harden has a lot of income from other sources; the difference between the max possible he could get from an nba team and what he'd be happy giving them for a good fit isn't something he's that concerned about. if anything, it's about the years so he can end his career somewhere (probably why that was a talking point for him about philly). he's from LA, he can move his mom (who is sick) out here, etc.
he's trying to find the right basketball situation. it was reported he was willing to give morey a deal if he actually negotiated with him instead of ghosting him.
I highly doubt Morey is such a good boy that he obeyed the rule and ghosted Harden….
