October 19th - According to Shams Shams, Kevin Durant and the Rockets have reached a two-year, $90 million contract extension, with a player option for the 2027-2028 season.
Durant could have signed a two-year, $120 million contract, but he took $30 million less for long-term cooperation and team flexibility.
Afterward, a netizen tweeted on X: "KD locked up $45 million in guaranteed salary for his age-39 season... I don't think that qualifies as a 'selfless sacrifice.'"
Durant replied:
"Well, how would you describe it? Since we're all here this morning to discuss it."
