Durant is likely to be in the transfer market despite being injured. Durant suffered two major injuries in the playoffs. Especially in the last finals, he had Achilles tendon rupture injury.
He was seriously injured and it is hard to return in the 2019-2020 season. Nevertheless, his value is still high in the transfer market.
Durant is seriously injured and can not play next season, but several teams are interested in Durant. The New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers, and the Los Angeles Clippers have expressed their interest, but Golden State is also hoping to retain Durant. With all the teams in the big market interest, Golden State is also considering a big deal.
Golden State is considering a very large deal to Durant. The maximum amount Golden State can offer $ 220 million for five years. This contract that is much larger than the one previously signed by Stephen Curry.
New York is hoping to sign multiple superstars, including Durant, and Brooklyn is believed to be one of the forerunners in the playoffs. And they also hoping to sign Irving and Durant at the same time. The Lakers and Clippers are not as aggressive as New York or Brooklyn, having Anthony Davis (New Orleans) and Kawhi Leonard (Toronto) in mind, respectively.
However, if Durant is in the transfer market, he is still likely to be offered a large contract. If he will take the offer, he can get a maximum of four years' contract, but it will be a contract worth about $ 160 million.
Durant had 26 points (.521, .353.885), 6.4 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.1 blocks in 78 games this season, with 34.6 minutes per game. It was even brighter in the playoffs. Though he was injured in the last minute of the Western Conference semi-finals, he did not play for a while, but he had 34.2 points (.513.416.901), 5.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.2 steals in 11 games before injury 39.1 minutes.
Now Durant is in his thirties, but considering the terms of the contract, there is no reason why Durant will not be at its peak. Moreover, it does not depend on athletic ability, and he has a big key and an accurate shot, and the power of the team increases sharply. He is the best scorer in the league and can win multiple rebounds, and he can also play as small forward and power forward.
Last summer, he signed a two-year contract with player options, agreeing to earn $ 30 million this season.
Durant later cited a contract that matched his performance as important. but it was his will to receive the best treatment. Considering that the contract amount has been yielded to a certain extent, it is time to look for a bigger deal. Although the injuries have left the plan unsettled, it is still enough that Durant is best treated.
