Overview

  • Kevin Durant reignited fan hostilities by tweeting “Finally. It’s been 10 years, bout time they win one lmaooo” ahead of the Thunder’s first championship celebration.
  • He will return to the Paycom Center on Oct. 21 to watch Oklahoma City raise its title banner and receive championship rings against the Rockets.
  • ESPN insiders report that Houston is reluctant to offer Durant a full max extension and that negotiations have yet to produce an agreement.
  • Sources cited by NBC Sports suggest Durant could accept a two-year extension worth about $100 million, below the $122.1 million maximum available.
  • The Rockets traded Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick and multiple second-round selections for Durant and have since added veterans while preserving 2027 cap flexibility.
