One hour vs. Four Months in the Harden saga

Multiple reports have James Harden being given an hour to accept or reject the Thunder's extension offer. That's one perspective. A second, also familiar with the talks, say his agent spent a day and a half in OKC prior to the final offer and that both Harden and Rob Pelinka knew for roughly four months that he had no hope of getting a four-year max. Believe who and what you want; just know there's more than one version.
