Durant signed a two-year extension (player option Year 2), reportedly ~$90m, to stay in Houston through at least 2027. He left significant money on the table, prioritizing roster flexibility as the Rockets chase contention. Houston leverages Durant’s buy-in to maintain cap optionality for complementary upgrades. The move aligns veteran star power with a 50-win core and preserves future maneuvering while extending a window without over-committing late-prime dollars.

Portland agreed four-year extensions reportedly worth $90m (Sharpe) and $82m (Camara), securing a two-way wing core through 2029–30. Sharpe’s scoring and Camara’s All-Defensive pedigree anchor the rebuild’s perimeter identity. Deals reward year-over-year growth in efficiency, volume, and defensive impact while preserving medium-term cap shape. The front office signals continuity around length, athleticism, and switchability as foundational traits.
