Up to $122 million! The Rockets accelerate Durant s contract renewal, which is expected to be achieved within a few weeks

Previously, William Guillory said that Durant will renew his contract with the Rockets in advance within a few weeks, and the team will renew his contract with Ethan in advance in order to allow Smith and Ethan, two 22-time rookies, to stay with the Rockets for the next six years, to build a team with a stable core lineup. Rockets media SleeperRockets also recognized William Guillory's source, and they also revealed that all signs indicate that the Rockets will soon reach a contract renewal with Durant, so that Durant will play for the Rockets before the age of 40.

If Durant is done, the Rockets will have at least three years to compete for the championship. After all, Durant's ability is still the strongest, and his decisive ability at critical moments is still the only league in the league. As long as you can give Durant a rest time in regular time, instead of over-expending it. Then Durant, who is full of physical strength, is a god, and his harvesting ability is really invincible. Because Durant is 2.10 meters tall and then jumped, almost no player can block Durant's shot.

Most players in the league defend Durant use a short and strong forward line to go to Kadurant's lower set, or intercept while he dribbling, and use his strength to push him. It is impossible for you to imagine that one-on-one blocking is impossible. So Durant is also the Rockets' confidence in competing for the championship. After all, he replaced Jaylen Green with Durant, and his offense and defense have been greatly improved. If Durant is renewed, what contract will the two parties reach? Currently, it is up to 2 years. If you wait until next year, the amount will rise to 124 million in two years.

But no matter what, the Rockets must operate the renewal of Durant. Durant still averaged 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks last season, shooting percentage was 52.7% and three-point shooting percentage was 43.0%. The Rockets pay for Durant to get it is not a big price. If you let Durant leave in vain next offseason, then the new team he joins will be a roadblock to the Rockets' prospect of competing for the championship. After all, it is not just the Rockets that need key goals.

, especially the Heat are eyeing it. Previously, the Miami Herald reposted the source of the US media Fullcourtpass, and they revealed that if the Rockets did not successfully renew their contract with Durant in advance, they would instead make him a completely free man in 2026. Then the Heat will do their best to lobby Durant for joining, and the team is now paying attention to the renewal of Durant and the Rockets. In fact, Durant's next hottest teams were the Rockets, the Timberwolves and the Heat. But in the end, the Rockets got Durant because of the Suns' No. 10 pick in their hands.

From the perspective of Rockets general manager Stone, the team is unlikely to let Durant go. They will only see if a balance can be reached based on the amount of renewal between the two sides. If the balance is really unbalanced, the Rockets will grit their teeth and give Durant 122 million in two years. After all, Amen Thompson will only be in the third year next year and the fourth year after next. There are still two years of rookie bonuses to use, but there is no maximum salary in the Rockets. Shin Jing has renewed his contract with the Rockets 185 million in advance, and Smith also stayed at the team for 122 million in five years.

So he reached a maximum salary with Durant. Three years later, his contract expired, and the Rockets could just leave Amen with a maximum salary position. In addition, Van Jordan may not be in the Rockets in three years. If Shepard can develop, the Rockets' overall salary space will still be healthy. Whether it is short or long-term, Stone has spared no effort. In addition, the Rockets also have the Nets' first round swap rights in 27 years, and the Rockets also have the draft picks in the next few seasons. In order to avoid the long nights and dreams, it is no problem for the Rockets to accelerate Durant's contract renewal. Of course, the team still wants to renew Ethan first and then renew Durant. It depends on how big the contract the two sides can negotiate. If Ethan renews the Rockets for 80 million in four years, it would be super amazing.
