According to ESPN, Kevin Durant has agreed to sacrifice $30 million to sign a two-year, $90 million extension with the Rockets, with the 27/28 season as a player option.

KD was eligible for a two-year, $120 million extension at the top of the pay scale, but when he chose the Rockets as his next home, he knew he would need to sacrifice some of his salary when signing the new deal in order for the two sides to work together for the long haul and to keep the team's operations nimble, according to the report.

With this contract, KD, 37, now has the highest career total in NBA history, and with the unfulfilled salary, his total earnings will be $598.2 million, surpassing LeBron James' $583.9 million.

Last season, KD averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 62 appearances for the Suns.
