If the Rockets give Durant 124 million in two years, Jayson Jr. will have no hope of renewing his contract in advance, and Aman will be awarded the maximum salary

Recently, after Durant joined the Rockets, many media revealed that Durant will renew his contract with the Rockets until he retires. This is good news. The Rockets strengthened their weakest offensive end and increased offensive firepower like Durant, which is what other teams want. Although the team has been strengthened, the size of Durant's contract renewal will affect the Rockets' situation in the next few years, especially for young players who are preparing to renew their contracts.

It is understood that after the end of next season, Durant is eligible to sign a maximum salary of up to 2 years and 124 million yuan, which means that Durant's large contract will last until 2028. If the Rockets give Durant a 2-year, 124 million yuan contract, then there is probably no hope for Jabarry Smith and Tari Ethan to renew the contract early. Even though VanVleet chose to cut his salary, the Rockets will still give Amen Thompson a big contract in the future, and may have to give up Ja or Ethan.

Although there are a lot of news that Durant will choose to cut his salary to maintain the Rockets' championship lineup, it is estimated that the salary cut will not be large, and we cannot expect to cut more than 10 million in salary like VanVleet. Currently, the Rockets Shin Kyung, Durant and Van Vleet are all big contracts, and Shin Kyung's big contract will take effect next year. In this way, Ethan and Jabbarry Smith Jr. have renewed their contract with at least 20 million yuan, and the Rockets have to leave Amen Thompson with more than 30 million space, which has become impossible. The premise that none of the above

is that the Rockets boss suddenly feels that he would rather pay luxury tax than win the championship, but Rockets fans all know that the team boss has always been stingy and should not want to pay the tyrant tax. Fortunately for the Rockets, Jia and Ethan still have one year of rookie bonuses, and Amen Thompson still has two years of rookie contracts.
