The Houston Rockets arguably made the biggest splash of the 2025 NBA Offseason when they acquired Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns. Even at 36 years old, Durant is still one of the best scorers in the NBA and is coming off an excellent season despite the Suns' obvious turbulence.

Spotrac’s Keith Smith makes the case for why a two-year extension at $100 million in total value may make sense for both Kevin Durant and the Rockets.
