The fact that MacMahon also said Durant doesn't plan to push for such a deal is an encouraging sign for Houston at least.

The “Slim Reaper” remains determined to extend his streak of seasons averaging 20-plus points per game while continuing to evolve his game. At 36 years old, Durant’s combination of skill, experience, and basketball IQ ensures he’ll remain a major force in the Rockets’ offense — and in the NBA’s ongoing debates about the greatest to ever do it.
