For as much as the Miami Heat franchise would've been buoyed by the acquisition of Kevin Durant, they may have dodged a major bullet if the recent whispers are true. According to recent reports, KD is preparing to sign a two-year, $100-plus million extension with the Houston Rockets. It's a commitment that probably would've done more worse than good for the Heat.
Even though it's not much of a surprise that KD is set to sign an extension with the Rockets, I can't envision a scenario in which such a move would've been in the best interest of the team.
