De'Aaron Fox Rumors

If the trade deadline is approaching and the PG situation isn’t getting better, what trade(s) would you pursue if you were Tim Connelly? — @nrcslim Jon Krawczynski: It is hard to put a name on that right now because we don’t know which teams will be playing well and which teams will be stumbling. What I do know is that if point guard is not solidified and the rest of the team looks primed for another deep playoff run, Connelly will not hesitate to pull the trigger on a big trade. That is the way he’s built these Wolves, and it won’t stop now. Maybe the Spurs would part with De’Aaron Fox if things aren’t going well there, though the money would give me pause. Maybe one of the Jones brothers could be had in Chicago or Orlando.

One NBA All-Star is calling a spade a spade when it comes to Draymond Green. San Antonio Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox appeared this week on FanDuel TV’s “Run It Back.” During the show, the topic of the biggest complainers in the NBA came up. Fox specifically zeroed in on the Warriors star Green as the league’s biggest complainer. “Draymond will clothesline you and then look at the ref like, ‘What’d I do?'” said Fox. Fox also agreed with interviewer Lou Williams’ assertion that Luka Doncic is a big complainer as well, noting that “Luka’s up there.” However, Fox did add that complaining to the referees can sometimes be warranted, saying that “reffing is god-awful at times.”

Shams Charania: San Antonio Spurs star De'Aaron Fox has agreed to a four-year, $229 million maximum contract extension with the franchise, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told ESPN. The max deal secures Fox's future in San Antonio through the 2029-30 season. Kevin O’Connor: I don’t love this for the Spurs. Fox is not a max level point guard on any team, and in San Antonio he has overlapping skills with Castle and Harper. Draymond Green: Imagine the pieces you can bring in, in that salary slot, to help speed up a rebuild. One thing for certain, in the next 24 months, Fox will not be a worse player than he is today.

Dylan Harper's pick-and-roll prowess and crafty, powerful style of play made him the choice for the Spurs, who have been optimizing for additional playmaking around Victor Wembanyama moving forward. Even if he winds up coming off the bench as a rookie, Harper projects as a foundational long-term player. "[Harper] has some [Manu] Ginobili to his offensive game," one Western Conference scout said. "If the 3-point shot ever becomes a true weapon [for him], he makes Fox expendable and gives San Antonio a nice trade asset."

On a potential contract extension for De’Aaron Fox: “When we made that trade, we knew what the contract status was, of course. We see De’Aaron as someone who can grow with our young players and be a real leader for us. We’re hopeful we can make something happen to keep him in San Antonio for a long time,” a Spurs front office executive said.”

“I’m not going to be perfect, but I just want to learn every day from the vets and the guys around me, like De’Aaron Fox, Harrison Barnes. Even a guy like Wemby, Steph Castle. Just learn as much as I can from everyone. I’m new. I’m going to be that guy with full energy, running around the gym and just trying to understand the game better. And as I’m getting better every day, that would be a pretty successful rookie year. I want to just go out there and show I belong.”

So, you think we're getting to a point of either a best-and-brightest offer all the way around, or could you see a dark horse coming in here—someone we haven't talked about?" Sam Amick: "Well, it's again the question of: does Kevin change his stance on any of the teams not on his list? Now, I keep making this distinction. My understanding is you have the list—the thing his camp chooses to leak to the media—and then you have the real stuff, which is what Kevin is telling people. And we’ve come across some of that, and there’s reason to believe he’s looking at San Antonio above the rest. Now, as you know, Dave, because you and I lived it with the Fox trade, we just saw how the Spurs had zero intention or willingness to give up anything on their roster—let alone anybody in their young core. I don’t know that that has changed all that much. The way it’s put to me: they’re not going to go all in to get Kevin."
