One day shy of a year after announcing his decision to join the powerful Golden State Warriors, Kevin Durant accepted a major pay cut to help make sure they stay winners and chase more championships.
Durant wants to build a dynasty alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, agreeing to terms earlier today on a contract worth approximately US$53 million over the next two years.
The deal calls for about US$25 million in the first year with a player option for the second season.
As he planned all along to provide the Warriors with financial flexibility, Durant waited as Golden State general manager Bob Myers signed the other free agents ‑ Curry for a record US$201 million over five years.
