Amen Thompson Signs $208M Extension With Rockets
Kevin Durant reacted to Amen Thompson's five-year, $208 million Rockets extension, while Joe Johnson said the deal demands a more reliable jump shot.
Amen Thompson has signed a five-year contract extension with the Houston Rockets, and Kevin Durant marked the deal with a one-line message on social media.
The Rockets Forward posted a single line about the deal.
Durant is needling Thompson about picking up the tab now that he is paid, and at the same time pointing to what the money brings with it: a step up in expectation for a player who has just secured a massive payday.
Joe Johnson, a seven-time All-Star, was more direct about what that expectation looks like.
