Houston Rockets Unlikely to Offer Kevin Durant Max Contract Extension

Kevin Durant is reportedly not expected to receive a contract extension offer 'close to the max' from the Houston Rockets, according to Tim MacMahon. Despite acquiring Durant in a significant trade, Houston appears unwilling to offer the veteran star a two-year, $122 million max deal. The Rockets are known for their disciplined approach to contracts, prioritizing deals that maintain financial flexibility, and are reportedly prepared to let Durant play out his current expiring contract.
