Both the Rockets and Kevin Durant plan for Houston to be his final NBA stop, Shams Charania reports. A contract extension could soon be in the works.

Durant should give the Rockets the sort of No. 1 scoring option they lacked, which ultimately came back to bite them in a first-round playoff loss against the Golden State Warriors. And they managed to acquire him without giving up their most promising young players or future first-round draft assets.

From college teammates to former coaches, Durant’s connections within the Rockets might provide the stability and belonging he seeks.
