Kevin Durant is willing to take even less money than he is eligible for to re-sign with the Golden State Warriors.

Durant passed on his maximum of $34.65 million and was expected to re-sign for $31.5 million, which represents a 20 percent raise from his 16-17 salary. Now, Durant could go even lower with his salary, perhaps as low as $28 million or $25 million.

Durant's decision to pass on his maximum allowable salary helped the Warriors re-sign Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston.  

Durant's generosity will reduce the Warriors' tax bill.
