The fact that MacMahon also said Durant doesn't plan to push for such a deal is an encouraging sign for Houston at least. He's going into the final year of his contract and will be paid $54.7 million. An NBC Sports report from Summer League indicated Durant may accept $100 million over two years on an extension.

Durant will make $54.7MM during the upcoming season on the final year of his current contract. Since the trade to Houston became official on July 6, he has been eligible for a two-year extension worth roughly $122MM. Waiting another six months would allow him to tack on about $2MM to his maximum extension value.
