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.

Kevin Durant might not be getting the contract extension from the Houston Rockets that was originally in place, ESPN's Tim MacMahon says.
