Kevin Durant’s $90 Million Deal with Rockets: What This Game-Changing Extension Means for the NBA’s Future

Kevin Durant’s $90 Million Deal with Rockets: What This Game-Changing Extension Means for the NBA’s Future

How badly did Kevin Durant want to be back in Texas — the state where he played his college ball — and to be on a team with a legit title chance in the next couple of years? Here’s the answer:

Durant took about $30 million less than his max in agreeing to a two-year, $90 million contract extension with the Houston Rockets, a deal first reported by Shams Charania of ESPN and since confirmed by the team. The second year of that extension is a player option. Durant is in the final year of his current contract at $54.7 million and now is locked in with the Rockets for two years beyond that — and is taking a nearly $10 million a year drop from that salary to be part of a contender in Houston.
