Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Rockets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
With Kevin Durant’s contract making him an unrestricted free agent, the Rockets took a bit of a risk making the trade for the star forward. Technically, Durant can walk after this season if he so chooses. The Rockets felt assured enough that KD would sign an extension, but what
does that actually look like?
According to reports, the two sides have been talking. Durant is eligible for a two-year, $122 million max extension, but KD doesn’t typically strike me as the kind of guy to offer a discount. He’s essentially been a mercenary for hire for years now, and mercenaries aren’t doing it to give out discounts.
Surely, however, Rockets GM Rafael Stone will be hoping for a good deal, but will he get it? That’s our question this week. Should the Rockets offer KD a max extension?
