According to US journalist Shams, Dalong Fox has reached a four-year, max salary renewal with the Spurs.

According to the news, this contract does not include any player options and transaction terms.

Daron Fox and the Spurs' four-year, $229 million maximum salary renewal contract reached, representing the team's long-term lock-up on core players and setting a new Spurs' history salary record.

The contract has no player options and transaction terms, ensuring the stability of Fox in the next five years (including one year of existing contracts), strengthening the cornerstone of the team's reconstruction.

Fox joined the Spurs and was reimbursed for a left-hand tendon injury. The data in 17 games dropped to 19.7 points + 44.6% shooting percentage (only 27.4% of three-pointers), and the real shooting percentage was only 53.7%. If injuries continue to affect explosive power (relying on speed-based play), the contract may be premium later. And you should know that even in the Kings, he has only been to the All-Star Game once and has an average record in leading the team.

Respond line resource conflict

Spurs have two potential defenders, Best Rookie Castle and No. 2 Harper. Fox occupies a large amount of ball rights and may squeeze the growth space of the new player. If you need to trade in the future, the difficulty of the operation will be increased due to the lack of player options/trading terms.

Long-term game: The contract is fully guaranteed and has no option clauses, which is actually a high-risk and high-return investment. If Fox returns to Kings' state (25+5+6) and optimizes the projection, dual-core drive can bring the Spurs back to the playoffs; if injuries are repeated or newcomers grow beyond expectations, it may become a salary burden. The annual salary for the last year of the contract will reach US$63.3 million. Combined with the potential super maximum salary of Wenban Yama in 2026 (estimated to be 326 million in five years), the Spurs' salary space will be locked. If Fox does not return to its peak state, it will seriously restrict the reinforcement operation
