Report: Kevin Durant to take pay cut to re-sign with Warriors

According to an ESPN report, he will instead ink a two-year, $53 million deal with the Warriors. Durant, who has made more than $135 million in his career not including endorsement deals, effectively gave up part of his potential earnings so the Warriors could keep their core together. According to ESPN, had Iguodala left, Durant was willing to take even less to help restock the roster. The Warriors were reportedly eyeing Rudy Gay, who averaged 18.7 points and 6.3 rebounds with Sacramento before tearing his right Achilles tendon in January, as a backup option if they couldn't re-sign Iguodala. Odds are that Clark and McGee, both of whom figure to warrant far more than a minimum deal, will parlay productive seasons into sizable offers from other clubs. According to ESPN, the Warriors are still optimistic about retaining McGee, who has drawn interest from the Clippers, Suns and Heat.
