Kevin Durant lining up for a big payday this Saturday!

Kevin Durant lining up for a big payday this Saturday! The Nets are ready to pay the man that essentially carried Brooklyn on his back during the 2020-21 regular season; injuries and COVID killed that team from rallying to The Finals, or at least past the Bucks. While he dealt with injuries, so did Kyrie and Harden. The main injuries that the team was suffering from were hamstring, back, and ankle injuries. Tough to say the least.

While Durant could not take the gold with Brooklyn, he will be trying with Team USA. That is to be against France Friday night, which would be tonight, that would be Durant’s third gold medal won.

He actively made the decision to decline his 2022-23 player option and extend off of his 2021-22 earnings to see where he would go next. Should this be a surprise? It allowed both sides to come to terms, as reported right now, on a new long-term contract that would keep him under contract till he was 36-years-old.

His manager has confirmed that the contract will be 4-years, $198 million dollars to extend. This will be a maximum contract with Brooklyn.

In the regular season, Durant scored 26 points per game. In the postseason, which would have been 12 games, he averaged 34 points per game. Huge force to be reckoned with, saying the least as we were only talking about his scoring productivity.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Sacramento Kings are signing Doug McDermott to a one-year deal. The money was never made public.

This roster move comes after Tuesday’s trade getting rid of Jalen McDaniels to clear salary and for roster flexibility.

McDermott, who is 32 years old, played for the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers last season. With Indiana, he averaged 4.2 points in 11.3 minutes. With San Antonio, he averaged 6.0 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 15.2 minutes.

De'Aaron Fox Eyeing Potential $345 Million Contract Extension

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, De’Aaron Fox is not entertaining this offseason/preseason’s three-year, $165 million extension. The 26-year-old is setting his eyes on a bigger prize.

There are two options on the table for him: the first option would be a four-year, $229 million maximum extension Fox could sign with Sacramento during the 2025 offseason. The second option would be a five-year, $345 million supermax if he makes an All-NBA team this season.

It is important to note that both sides want to keep the relationship going, as Fox has been publicly and privately loyal to this organization. Management and ownership have given Fox exclusive abilities to be able to influence who they sign, what direction the team goes, etc.

Under his current deal, Fox is making $34.8 million this season and $37.0 million the following season. There is no team/player option in this contract; he will be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

Last season, Fox averaged 26.6 points (career-high), 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 2.0 steals in 74 games. He also had a career-high in minutes played with 35.9 minutes.

Sacramento opens their season at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 24th.
