$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 do agree, it was a huge contract, and as much as we love what he did in Sacramento, but still, I do not think that he is a elite level. That numbers could be for MVP caliber players like Giannis, or SGA or Curry. So that is going to be very big in his shoulder for him to carry the Spurs so that what they paid him is going to be worth it.
In latest news, the Boston Celtics acquired forward Chris Boucher from the Raptors with a one-year, $3.3 million contract. He is the last remaining of the 2019 champion lead by then Kawhi Leonard. Most likely a Al Horford replacement with the Celtics.
