He’s squeezing out every penny, don’t hold y’all breath for a “team friendly” deal
I expect him to get the max. Anything less is gravy
Fox and Rich Paul are the reason the Spurs could get a player of that caliber so cheaply, and they’re going to expect a max deal for it.
Just fyi, I fully expect him to get the max, if he takes a small pay cut great but he deserves to get paid.
Pay the man.
229M is a lot of a fucking money. I would at least hope some of it is locked behind milestones like all-nba selections. That 27-28 year is gonna hurt like a bitch with both this and Wemby’s supermax overlapping.
This will not age well. About to be 28, can’t shoot from 3 and when he slows down will be really noticeable. Literally been in one playoff series and lost in the first round. Crazy
I am as excited for Fox as anyone but no fucking way he deserves the same deal as Luka. If we can do 4 years and be at 200M or less I’m ok with that especially if there is a team option for the 5th year or even 4th year
Im expecting max, he doesn’t owe us anything at this point playing for half a season
He will sign the max and be the best point guard we have had since Tony Parker, don’t know why people are being so weird about him.
Pay the man no questions asked. Just because we give him an extension doesn’t mean we have to hold on to him for all years. Especially if Harper is the real deal.
I would have expected a previously agree upon max, but if that was the case, why isn’t it announced yet?
Sign and trade + draft picks /Castle for Giannis
I’m happy we got Fox, but giving 25%+ of our cap to a point guard that has questionable shooting and play making and who made all star/all nba once in his career is a problem to me. In this new CBA we can’t just hand out max contacts like it’s nothing.
Spurs might have to trade him
It would be cool to see Fox resign on a slight discount if he’s serious about the whole ” build my legacy” comments he made about coming to San Antonio and wants us to have Max flexibility for putting a great roster around him and Vic
But the reality is he’s going to get the max. You can argue that his overall play during the last 3 years, when he’s really coming to his own, isn’t quite worth that amount. But at his absolute peak I’d say he’s very close to that level as all NBA guys are going to get paid around 50 plus and that’s just the reality of it. As long as he stays healthy, he’s going to be fantastic for us and be worth it in the end
For the salary cap experts here, let’s say he does sign the max. Are we able to front load it heavy so it drops before the Jeremy, Wemby, extensions kick in?
