Kevin Durant is planning to sign an extension with the Houston Rockets, which means the Miami Heat can finally remove him from their list of superstar possibilities.
Many deleted him from the pool of next-star candidates the moment he was traded from the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets. But the two-time finals MVP has yet to sign an extension with his new team. And then, Fred VanVleet suffered what will likely be a season-ending ACL injury, opening the door to KD reconsidering his commitment to the Rockets.
There will be no equivocation on Durant’s part, though.
