Kevin Durant's Potential Contract Extension with Rockets Explored Amid Salary Discussions

Kevin Durant is currently in the final year of his $57.4 million contract, and there is an expectation he could sign an extension with the Houston Rockets. While eligible for a max two-year, $122.1 million deal, rumblings suggest Durant may accept considerably less, potentially around $100 million for two years. Both the Rockets and Durant are reportedly comfortable starting the season without an immediate extension, allowing time for negotiations.
