Will the Phoenix Suns WAIT To Sign Kevin Durant To An Extension?

Kevin Durant is eligible for a one-year, $59.5 million contract extension from the Phoenix Suns, but will they agree to a deal before the Oct. 21 deadline? On the latest PHNX Suns Podcast, Espo and Gerald Bourguet discuss the pros and cons of a new Kevin Durant contract extension, which would put an extra year on the two seasons KD is already owed from the Suns. Is it better to lock in one of the all-time greats now, or wait and potentially maintain flexibility for 2026 NBA free agency? The two also discuss another option, which would be waiting until next offseason, when they can offer Kevin Durant a two-year contract extension and get around the Over 38 Rule. That would give KD his final major payday of his career, allow the Suns to wait one season to see how things play out, and if Durant signed the two-year extension next summer, his contract would then align with Devin Booker’s, with both expiring in 2028. Join us for the latest around the team and don’t forget to follow the show on social @PHNX_Suns.
