Why Kevin Durant Took a ‘Discount’ to Stay in Houston?
This video is sponsored by Coors Light.
The guys break down Kevin Durant’s new $90 million deal — and what it means for the Houston Rockets’ cap space and future. Did KD take less to win, or was this just smart roster building from the front office?
They also dive into how this move impacts the Rockets’ young core — including Jalen Green, Alperen Şengün, and Jabari Smith Jr. — and what Fred VanVleet’s injury means for the team heading into the season.
From player-friendly contracts to long-term roster planning, the Rockets might be building something big in H-Town.

LETS GOOOO!!!!
Durant sets up a deeper playoff run for a few years to give the young guys deeper playoff experience. Houston doesn't have the weapons to take out OKC with who is on the team now. The real championship window will begin in a few years when Durant is gone and the young guys reach their prime years.
KD taking this deal send a message. That he want to win and he wants to do it ln Houston.
Reed will be a part of the core. He simply didn't pay the first year cause ofc there were experienced and ither players that needed minutes before. When he does play, you can clearly see he has actual talent and can ball. We will see it this season growing and improving more.
Ummm….what happen to all the Stone Bashing? lol
