Kevin Durant Trade: Rockets Acquire NBA Star in Blockbuster Deal
Stephen Curry signed a contract extension a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors for $62.6 million. With this, the Bay Area team secures the ’30’ until the 2026-2027 season. By then, the point guard will be 39 years old.
The first conclusion that can be reached is that despite everything that has been said and many claiming that the team does not have a roster with which to compete for the ring in the years to come, Everything seems to indicate that Curry will be a ‘Warrior’ for life.
Also, The four-time NBA champion will become the first American professional athlete to earn more than $60 million in a single season. He deserves it, because when he started playing for Golden State, the franchise was valued at $315 million; today, it is worth $8.3 billion. It seems that their investment has paid off.
Although obviously, the ‘Chef’s’ exorbitant salaries were not always like this. One could even argue that he had his best years in the organization while he was making what a role player would make today.
In the 2014-15 season, where he earned his first MVP and his first ring, he earned just $10.6 million. Then in 2016, Steph became the first and only unanimous regular-season MVP in NBA history. By then, he was earning $11.3 million. In total, from his rookie year in 2009 through the end of 2017, he pocketed $56.4 million. It was a bargain for the Warriors to get one of the best players in the world at that salary.
The romance between the Warriors and Curry continues. The player has achieved there: four championships, he has been ‘All-NBA’ eight times, an All-Star 10 times, two-time MVP, one Finals MVP, two-time league leading scorer. And many other awards.
He also ranks first in points scored and assists in franchise history. No one has made more three-pointers than him since the association was created, and was selected to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team. A great story of reciprocity between Golden State and its star.
Finally, the 36-year-old point guard joined a select list of three players who have won at least, $500 million in salaries alone. Who completes this list? Kevin Durant and LeBron James.
In short, the outlook for La Bahía today is not so encouraging in terms of winning a championship. If the franchise wants to take advantage of the last years of its star player’s prime, they will have to make important moves in the organization. We’ll see.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Sunday that Kiev had received the first advanced Western American-made F-16 fighter jets, which had been awaited for more than two years.
Zelensky, at a ceremony organized in a secret place in which he showed the planes to journalists, said, “Now the matter has become a reality, a reality in our skies. F-16 fighters in Ukraine. We made this happen. “
For about two years, Ukraine has been demanding that its Western partners provide F-16 aircraft, the most important item in the long list of military equipment it has requested from its sponsors.
This fighter plane is characterized by precision and speed.
But the Ukrainian president said today that “the number of F-16 fighters we have in Ukraine is not enough” and that his country is waiting for “additional” deliveries.
“I am proud of our men who have mastered these aircraft and have begun to use them for our country,” Zelensky said.
Kiev hopes that these aircraft will allow its air fleet to better defend itself.
Several NATO countries have pledged to provide numbers of these fighter jets to Ukraine and have been training Ukrainian pilots and crews for months.
Zelensky learned that the planes, which Kiev wanted to receive, had arrived when he met military pilots at an air base next to two such planes while two others were flying in the sky.
Zelensky made improving Ukraine’s air defenses one of his priorities during his meetings with allies.
In a press interview last May, the president of Ukraine said that his country needed about 130 F-16 aircraft.
However, so far, partners in Ukraine have promised to send less than 100 aircraft of this type over several years, after extensive training for the pilots who will use them.

The analyst said that it would help Ukraine to spread the Ukrainian flag over Sevastopol, and talked about the fate of the Kerch Bridge.
NATO countries have 6 thousand F-16 aircraft in service; moving 100-200 fighters to Ukraine would help liberate Crimea. At the same time, the Kerch Bridge can be destroyed without waiting for the arrival of French, British and Swedish fighter formations; this could happen as early as May.
This view was expressed by the journalist Andrei Piontkovsky in conversation by journalist Dmitry Gordon.
According to the analysis, the allies are able to transfer a large number of F-16s to Kyiv, but everything depends on the training of Ukrainian pilots.
“100-200 aircraft will get war in a few days. First, in a few days Russia will have no aircraft; the Russians now have no more than 100 aircraft working effectively. It is known you know how they (Russian airlines – ed.) work – they work from the territory of Russia. The F-16 is a flying air defense fortress. With these weapons, Ukraine will throw the Russian army out of the Crimean peninsula very quickly, and the Ukrainian flag over Sevastopol is, first of all, a great military victory – it concerns its -all supplies for the Russian army, but also a great political and psychological effect. , Putin’s regime will not stand for this victory”– said the mediator.
At the same time, the analyst believes that the Crimean Bridge could be destroyed even before a large number of Western fighter planes arrive in Ukraine.
“By coming ATACMS and, apparently, about 40 aircraft are already appearing. This is enough, the Kerch Bridge could be destroyed during the month of May, and this will also be a terrible blow to the psychology of the Russian system.”“, said the publicist.
Earlier, the famous Lithuanian diplomat Linas Linkevicius published a post on social networks in which letthat the Crimean Bridge is not far away.
Then, the tabloid The Sun explained position destroying the Kerch Bridge, noting that this would require Storm Shadow missiles, naval drones and F-16s.

– said Ponomarev.
In addition, the singer spoke about the feeling that exists today among Ukrainian soldiers at the front. According to the artist, they say: “We are ready, but very tired”.
“I don’t know what needs to be done in this situation. This is a difficult story. We have some weapons, but this is not what we need to lose among our avoid guys. We need more weapons, that’s right. Now think about what this Johnson will do in America, I hope everything will be fine.” – Ponomarev expressed hope.
