Was a Gaelic Footballer called "Chili" because his Dad's name was Con Carney.
I love how KD hasn't played a single game for the Rockets, and already, this move is causing havoc on the team 😂😂 . Good luck, Houston. Your KD experience is about to begin
I'd like to add "airplane mode" for Derrick Jones Jr. That is a sick nickname for someone with hops like his!
i blame Morey for the Embiid signing for way too much.$$
Good blind ranking. Bread should be #10, Joker #9, & Chef Curry #8, but otherwise top 7 were correct
🤷 Stones a lawyer. He's lawyering KD's contract so we have full control . That is all. A extension is in the works.
pfft what does a pissed off KD look like lol
lol is media day like watching a game of chess lol
ask jimmi butler he plays dominos more than chess lol
commentators commenting on owners is kinda wank don't you think smh
pfft at least the owners own not merely commentate on the owners
fear the deer not the beard
lou dort is the beast
Anything for content and clicks. Spreading fake news of a contract standoff
If KD walks where does he sign for 2 yrs 100M?
I really like Haliban😭
There's no rush to extend Durant's contract; an agreement will be reached at the end of the season, depending on the circumstances…
If the Rockets win the championship, Durant will gladly sign a team friendly extantion to win a back to back championship…
If the team doesn't perform as expected and doesn't win the championship, Durant will rightfully want to join a team where he can win a championship in the final years of his career…
Dyson Daniels : Great Barrier Theif
Kd played the rockets 2 starters and 10 pick for one year they got f
Dyson Daniels the great barrier theft is the best in my opinion
KD makes things so difficult everywhere he goes
KD has some of the most iconic nicknames …he should have made the list for sure
ESPN said the Rockets will be the Most Watched Team Instant Boxoffice👏🏀
Teams aren't willing to bend over for players anymore.
I'm SURE Old KD would LOVE the security. Tough shit. He's 38 with Achilles history.
Cry me a river, KD.
Negativity is a lot cheaper than $50M to old KD. Wait until the end of the season and low ball him. No one else will pay too much for him.
how much KD is worth from pure performance standpoint? 40 million? he stopped being top defender some time ago so you need to bring a quality 2 way guy, that will cost you 20 million at minimum
What reason give discount
1.legit contender =not sure
2.team has superstar that can lure other star =they don't have at this stage
3.Good location=this they have warm weather
If im kd its better play out season test free agent market freedom to choose team. Chance play with Ant or wemby
Rockets should feel no pressure to sign KD. I've always said the Rockets didn't need to trade for KD and they don't need to extend KD. KD is a luxury who became available and affordable and the Rockets took him. As long as he mentors Jabari, Amen, and Sengun and helps prepare them to win championships, he can leave if he wants to, and I will consider that fair value on the trade.
Bad title, that is why, gave a thumbs down
