Almost any team he expressed interest in joining would immediately drop everything to clear cap space for him, even with the upcoming 2019-20 campaign serving as an extremely pricy redshirt season. With that being said, after declining his $31.5 million player option, KD will have a five-year max deal from the Golden State Warriors waiting for him.
He’s already dealt with a Jones fracture in his foot, and Achilles injuries are notoriously difficult to come back from - especially at this age. Durant will be 32 years old by the time he sets foot on an NBA court again. There are a few worrisome caveats that come with securing one of the three best players in the world, however. Basically, Durant will secure a max deal from someone.
He’s a two-time NBA champion, one-time MVP, two-time Finals MVP, 10-time All-star, nine-time All-NBA selection and by all rights, one of the greatest scorers to ever walk this earth. Despite suffering a potentially career-altering injury with a ruptured Achilles, KD remains one of the summer’s top targets for teams with max cap space and the patience to wait for his return in 2020-21.Ĭoming off a season in which he posted a 26-6-6 stat line, and a monster playoff run in which he was averaging an absurd 34.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game on. Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals may have changed Kevin Durant‘s career forever, but the good news is, it hasn’t ruined his prospects heading into 2019 NBA free agency.
