Did The Spurs Make a Mistake?



Did The Spurs Make a Mistake?

The reaction to De’aran Fox signing this max extension has been disgusting. Like, do you guys not understand this man won a clutch player of the year award, if anything, he deserves an extra 100 million for that alone. Okay, obviously I’m trolling, but I do stand by the fact that this contract isn’t as bad as everyone else is making it out to be. De’Aran Fox is an elite point guard, not only when it comes to being a secondary scoring option to WBY, but also as a playmaker for the team. Sadly though, not enough people give him credit for this because his numbers with the Spurs were lacking. Which, by the way, these numbers were only low because he was playing through a pretty horrible hand injury. But even if I think Fox is a great player and could be the franchise point guard for some time, that doesn’t mean the Spurs aren’t dealing with a pretty weird situation after this extension. Stfan Castle has a ton of hype around him after winning rookie of the year. So, it’ll be interesting to see how his minutes play out. And then they just drafted Dylan Harper with the second overall pick, adding to the log jam of guards on this roster. If you want me to be honest though, I still don’t care. This team is winning three rings by 2030.

  1. People don't understand contracts. His contract ends right as castle and Harper are up for extensions. They'll grow playing with him and then will be able to sign them long term. People need to do a little research.

  2. He's a veteran point guard. Teach the young ones, let him get his bag before he has to go. Who else do the spurs have to pay for the next few years

  3. I seen joel embid get paid and dnp I seen kawai get paid and dnp sht I seen Ben Simmons get a bag and he cannot shoot a rock into the ocean d fox deserves his bag

  4. San Antonio is still a small market team, so you gotta keep that star that you acquired next to Wemby because free agency is not on your side

  5. I'm excited for Fox to finally be in a stable (relative to Kings) organization. I don't know about whether the team will get rings, but I'm confident Fox will do well with the team and can go further than he did when he was with the Kings.

  6. 🦊 can't shoot and is a Deva but still pretty good player but he's a stupid man that is not worth it now it's like lavine good player but makes to much so he can't be traded big mistake trading for him and giving him that much money. Light the beam. Let's go kings and f**k swipa

  7. Spurs got it right.
    Payed Fox and as the cap increases each year his salary won't be as big as it seems percentage wise.

    Wemby, Castle, and Harper won't be off their rookie salaries for a few more years. They'll have enough for Wemby and Castle, but when Harper is due Fox contract will be done.

    Spurs got it right.

  8. 60mil for a borderline allstar isn't great. good luck justifying that in 3 years when he is the exact same and you can't make the jump into contenders because of it
