Noone is taking less than max these days
Noone is taking less than max these days
Didn’t think he’d be getting less than the max. Was a little confused at all the chatter regarding that the last few days.
Giving the max to a fringe all star who made the playoffs once in 8 seasons and had Curry drop 50 on his head in a close out game 7.
Such is life for small market franchises who cannot attract true game changers![]()
we will have to trade away 1sts to unload him in a few years
seemed like there was some momentum to him getting a bit less but the spurs org is usually good at being tight lipped. its a lot of money but it captures his entire prime. with the last year not being a player option, we control him through his age 31-32 season.
Zero surprises detected.
Not surprising. Remember him and Klutch helped us out too. We essentially only gave up 2 conveyable FRPs and got rid of Collins. We kept everyone. He was always getting the max.
Only re s will be surprised.
Fox's max won't be an issue until Harper's extension kicks in, but there's a lot of time between now and 2029.
I'd rather pay an all-star like Fox 5 to 10 million more than his worth than give Jeremy 20 million a year.
I thought the new max based on the updated cap estimates was 4/222?

Also this max is right through his prime 27-31. Imagine extending guy in his 30s. Spurs locked him in no whining (except from some fans) and now we got a playoff squad with 1 superstar in Wemby and an all star caliber in Fox.
Any word on a player opt out? I’m guessing no.
Meh I don’t think it’s as bad as some people make it seem. Fox has shown he can be a legitimate all-star, and there’s the potential he looks even better next to Wemby. I think a lot of people have a sour taste in their mouth because of how he looked in the very limited sample we got last year while he was dealing with a known finger/hand issue.
A borderline all-star caliber guy in his prime isn’t going for less than the max…think anyone who was expecting him to take less was being overly optimistic. I’m not saying I’m thrilled but it’s a fair deal and none of this should be surprising.
I'll be surprised if he finishes this contract in San Antonio. Playing with Wemby will gas his value, and they'll move him when Harper is ready to take over.
So what happens with Harper and Castle? You don’t hand this kind of contract with multiple guys with potentially similar skills on the same roster
Spurs Fan has a new contract to whine about it, except this time it's for a player who's actually good.
But I won't fall for the distraction from the real contract we should all be whining about... I still see you, YungDev0
Hopefully this is a front loaded contract. But not really surprising either way. Klutch ain't letting a top 30 player in his prime take a big discount in what is probably going to be the largest deal of his career
How would you front-load a max contract? The concept assumes max raises.
Yea assuming the Cap only goes up 7% as predicted, this deal will be 4-yrs/$222.4M, not $229M. The $229M figure would be if the Cap goes up 10%, which it's not expected to, so not sure what's going on.
