Could Kevin Durant's contract extension with Rockets be for considerably less than max?
Kevin Durant in Houston feels like a hand-in-glove fit. The Rockets wanted Durant, and Houston was on his short list of places he wanted to be traded. When asked about the organization, Durant praised the Rockets. He fills the need for a half-court scoring threat that will open up their offense. The only question is the money on Durant's contract extension. Durant is in the final year of his current contract at $57.4 million. The Rockets can offer him a max two-year, $122.1 million extension (no team can offer Durant more than two years because of the over 38 rule). There was always an expectation that Durant would take a bit of a haircut off that max number, but that cut may be deeper than just a haircut, according to ESPN's Tim MacMahon and Brian Windhorst on the Hoop Collective podcast (hat tip Hoopshype). MacMahon: "By all appearances and by what I've heard, they're not going all in on an extension for Kevin Durant. Now, doesn't mean it won't happen, but there've been rumblings of KD not going to push for the full max. I don't know that the Rockets are going to put anything on the table that's close to the max." Windhorst: "I think the Rockets are like it's not ideal, but I don't think they would panic if they go into the season with Kevin Durant just on the contract that he's on just on the on the expiring deal... I'll say this, Rafael Stone, since he's been the GM of the of the Rockets, he's signed quite a few giant contracts, but a lot most of them have been short." The contract has to be short in this case, but what is a fair number for the future Hall of Famer? One source who spoke to NBC Sports during Summer League suggested KD might dip to about the $100 million mark for two years, around $10 million a season below the max but still $50 million a season. However, maybe that number is too high. Maybe Durant will take less — he has the right to make whatever choice he thinks is best for him, his legacy and his family. Maybe everyone is comfortable going into the season without an extension and seeing how things play out. That said, we are more than a month out from the start of training camps, and a lot of deals get done right around the beginning of camp. This is all just something to watch.

Quinn Ewers' Performance Sunday Has Fans Worried About Arch Manning
Quinn Ewers' Performance Sunday Has Fans Worried About Arch Manning originally appeared on The Spun. Arch Manning didn't play on Sunday - the 2025 college football season is a couple of weeks away - but fans are concerned about him. Quinn Ewers did play on Sunday. The former Texas Longhorns quarterback, who beat out Arch Manning for the QB1 job in back-to-back seasons, got some playing time in the Miami Dolphins vs. Chicago Bears game. It did not go very well. The former Texas Longhorns quarterback completed 5 of 18 passes for 91 yards. He got sacked twice and fumbled twice. Reviews from his performance are not very flattering. Meanwhile, on social media, fans are worried about what this could mean for Arch Manning's 2025 season under center in Texas. Following Quinn Ewers' rough performance, fans took to social media, wondering about what this could mean for Arch Manning's 2025 season. If Ewers looked this bad, how good could Arch Manning actually be? That's the main argument. "Just a reminder that Arch Manning couldn't beat out this guy Quinn Ewers in 2 full seasons," one fan wrote. "Arch Manning? The guy who couldn't beat out Quinn Ewers?" one fan added. "Arch couldn't unseat him tho 😤," another fan wrote in response to Ewers' final stats from Sunday's game. "What we learned today is we have our tank commander for Arch Manning in 2026. Once we clean house and cut the tickle, we already have our guy on the roster to lead us into the future," another Dolphins fan joked. Ewers did lead Texas to the College Football Playoff semifinals last year, so it's not like he was a bad college quarterback. And Arch Manning was a true freshman and then redshirt freshman. It's possible - likely, even - that he's much better now than he was heading into the 2024 and 2023 seasons. Still, it's interesting that some fans are having this reaction to Quinn Ewers' performance on Sunday.

There's one big surprise. Minnesota Yes, the Golden Gophers - not what you would think of when you think of iconic Big Ten uniforms - were given a perfect 10/10 rating by the NBC football analyst. "Maroon and gold, underrated combination," he said. Former Ohio State football star Joshua Perry didn't really agree, though. He called it "aggressive" and we'd have to agree. Oregon The Ducks are synonymous with great college football uniforms, so it's no surprise that their throwback green and yellow uniform gets a 10/10 rating from the NBC analyst. Still, not everyone loves them, as they can be a bit much in the eyes of some fans. "No matter what combination, this is a 10/10," he said of Oregon's uniforms. USC Most would probably think that Ohio State or Michigan would get the final 10/10 spot here, given their history, but instead, it goes to the Trojans. It's an iconic college football uniform, to be sure. The colors pop on TV, especially when they are playing their rival, UCLA. How would you rank college football's top uniforms when it comes to the Big Ten Conference in 2025?
