There’s no secret that the Rockets are back in the top tier of the NBA’s media landscape after the past year. Following Houston’s ascension to the second seed in the West, it traded for future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant.

As it stands, Kevin Durant is set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, meaning that he could leave the Rockets after just one season with the team. While the 36-year-old legend is the Rockets' best player (26.6 points per game last season), the organization is not rushing to commit the next five years to the 2x Finals MVP.

The Houston Rockets made one of the biggest splashes of the offseason when they traded for Kevin Durant, but that also brought the superstar's contract under the spotlight since he is signed for just the upcoming campaign.
