#warriors are expected to go all-in & offer Durant 5 yr/221 million. Question is will then-35 year old KD be worth 57 mil in year 5?

This is not a surprise. KD puts himself on position to maximize revenue in his next deal. Speaks to his talent level that even despite a serious injury, multiple teams will throw max dollars at Durant https://t.co/RvcAQQxqqU

Also: this doesn’t mean he isn’t returning to the Warriors. In fact, the Warriors can offer him more years and dollars than any other team due to the rules. But the KD sweepstakes are officially ON.

This makes sense. His absolute worst case scenario would have been taking that 1-year option and spending the year on rehab. He’ll get a much bigger contract. https://t.co/vLELv0Xv0g
