ESPN revealed! Durant renewed $112 million in 2 years? The Rockets mainly consider these three points

The NBA draft seems to have nothing to do with the Houston Rockets, but 25 million yuan renewed VanVleet and cut Landale to get $8 million in salary space! It is obvious that the Rockets are determined to win the championship, and winning Durant is just the beginning!

For Durant, she is about to celebrate her 37th birthday. Given that Durant's physical condition is not as tough as James, Du Xiaoshuai has reached the end of his career. Durant's contract will expire at the end of the 2025-2026 season, when Durant will become a free agent. Durant personally said that he was eager to get a long-term contract to end his career.

Now, according to ESPN reporters, the Houston Rockets and Durant are discussing a contract renewal, and the Rockets are expected to provide a two-year contract worth $112 million. Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game last season. Although Durant has experienced many major injuries, he is still the most stable scoring point for the Phoenix Suns.

It is reported that Durant's salary in the 2025-26 season is US$54.7 million, and he will be eligible for an early renewal on July 6. For Durant, he currently has two options: sign a two-year contract worth up to $112 million immediately; the second option is to wait for 6 months and sign a two-year contract worth up to $124 million.

Currently, the Houston Rockets and Durant's goal is to retire the Houston Rockets, and the higher goal is to win the NBA championship! Many netizens complained that Durant is already 37 years old. Is he worthy of an annual salary of 60 million? After the contract is over, the superstar will reach 40 years old. It is hard to imagine whether Durant can maintain his current competitive state. But what I want to say is: Great value for money!

The Rockets spared no expense to renew Durant's contract. The value of these three points cannot be measured by money!

First, Durant's arrival can quickly help the team's young players grow. Now only Shin Kyung and Amen have fulfilled their talents. There are still great improvements in shooting ability, and Durant is the top shooting expert in the league. He said that he is second, and I'm afraid no one dares to be the first! Durant can teach young players more game experience and shooting skills. How much is this worth?

Second, Durant's key goal is handled! The Rockets ranked second in the Western Conference in the regular season this season, but they lost in the first round of the playoffs in the tiebreak with the Golden State Warriors. What is the reason? It is obvious that the Rockets lack a superstar who can solve strongly when the score of the court is anxious, and Durant has such attributes.

Third, Durant's commercial value! Although Durant is not the face of the league, he is definitely one of the top three in the league in the past 10 years, even second only to James! If it weren't for Durant's vision of choosing a team, he might not only have two championships now! It is no exaggeration to say that Durant is suitable for any team and system, which is unique in the league.

Therefore, in my opinion, this contract is worth the money for the Rockets and is acceptable to Durant. Looking forward to the Rockets' performance in the new season, and I also hope that Durant can win another championship trophy with his personal ability to prove himself! As a fan, what height do you think the Rockets can reach next season? Welcome to leave a message and communicate!
