The future of Sacramento Kings star De Aaron Fox has become a subject of intrigue around the NBA. Recent reports suggest that rival teams are closely monitoring his situation, particularly after he turned down a significant contract extension.
A Tweet read,
“Rival executives are monitoring De’Aaron Fox’s situation in Sacramento, per
“Last month, De’Aaron Fox turned down a $165 million extension. The assumption was that this was about next summer’s financial opportunity for Fox and nothing to worry about. Other executives aren’t so sure, and they’re ready to pounce. One thing that would likely change this conversation immediately is if Fox secured an All-NBA selection and opened up the supermax for him to re-sign. That’s absolutely on the table for a player averaging 28-5-6 with room to improve his efficiency. If he doesn’t, however, and the Kings’ season goes sideways, things are going to get hot. Fox is represented by Klutch Sports, which means there’s always drama around the corner.””
