Kevin Durant has reportedly agreed to a two-year, $90 million contract extension ahead of the new NBA season, per ESPN. The deal is approximately $30 million less than the maximum he was eligible for. This gives the Rockets some additional financial flexibility. Houston acquired the two-time Finals MVP in a blockbuster trade this past summer.
In the deal, the Rockets sent Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the draft rights to Khaman Maluach, and up to four second-round picks and second-round swaps to the Phoenix Suns. Durant had hinted earlier in the month that a contract extension with Houston was likely.
