Recently, former NBA player Arenas talked about Rockets star Durant in his podcast.
Arenas said: "Durant has been cutting his salary. What's interesting is that even though he has been cutting his salary, he is still the highest-paid player in history. When he went to the Golden State Warriors, he was cutting his salary. When he renewed his contract with the Warriors, he was still cutting his salary. The reason why they were able to extend Curry's maximum salary was because KD cut his salary.
"He said 'this is your core, this is his city, so you give him the max and give me whatever you have left,' instead of 'I take the max and he takes the rest,' and he showed that he was willing to sacrifice money to make the team better, as he actually showed, and no one gave him credit for it.
"Don't say anything bad about him. He took a lot less money when he went to the Golden State Warriors. He took a lot less money to make sure Curry was happy."
