The Nets made it official Sunday. They’ve signed Kevin Durant to a four year extension that Boardroom, his own media platform, reported would pay him $198 million over four years starting in 2022-23. With KD getting $42 million this coming season, Durant will earn $240 million over the next five years, an average of $48 million.
In announcing the extension, Nets owner Joe Tsai echoed Durant’s most famous description of himself.
“We know who he is. Kevin Durant will establish his legacy in Brooklyn as one of the greatest ever. On behalf of the Nets organization, my family and our fans, we are excited and humbled to see a lot of Kevin for years to come.
