$229,000,000 4-year deal agreed to by De’Aaron Fox with the San Antonio Spurs. Another crazy deal to a player who has never won anything. He’s a great player, but I don’t even think he’s an all star. Making over $50,000,000 per year as an NBA player when most people in the country have no idea who you are is crazy…

Yeah they definitely overpaid on this one. I don't understand why they would give him such a deal. Sure they don't want him to leave for nothing but I doubt other teams would have been willing to pay this much as well, very strange. While of course Fox is a more than just solid player, as you say he is not even all star material, won nothing and overall isn't even close to being a franchise player (that would warrant such a payday). NBA these days....

I disagree with your statement. Last year, Fox averaged 23.5 points. He also has a very good assist average of 6.3. He's a great contributor to his team and a true team player. I think San Antonio made the smartest decision by signing him. Fox was one of the team's most important players. It's important to remember that the number of All-Stars is very small, and not every player will make it there.

That's just numbers though, he wasn't able to carry the Spurs and then got injured if my memory serves me right. Even if he is healthy, it's very hard for him to carry the team in a very tough Western conference. So it's really a big gamble for the Spurs to paid him that well.

Although I would agree that as time passes by, due to inflation players are going to be very expensive. And as we compare, he is outside of the best point guard in the NBA right now. That's why others are thinking that he didn't deserved this huge contract.
