Even in one NBA now accustomed to contracts with astronomical figures, say no to $165 millionit’s no small thing. To have just done it would be De’Aaron Foxwhich according to what Shams Charania of “ESPN” reported declined the contract extension offer with Sacramento and which would have guaranteed him approximately 165 million dollars for three years. The agreement between player and franchiseeffectively, it expires only in 2026but behind Fox’s refusal to renegotiate its duration does not mean there is a change of sceneryHow much to wait until next summer to sign a much richer extension.
Fox is a year that could be decisive
I 165 million for three years offered by Kings they represent the maximum that the franchise could grant the player todaybut according to the provisions contained in the collective agreement in force in twelve months things could be very different. Foxwhich is assisted by Klutch Sportsan agency that also looks after the interests of LeBron James and many other NBA starswould in fact aim to sit down with the Kings in the summer of 2025when it might pop up a 4-year extension for $229 million overall or, in the event that he were to be elected to one of the three All-NBA quintets at the end of next season, even 345 million for 5 years. There is therefore no rift between the point guard and the front office of Sacramentowhile it appears clear Fox’s intention to focus on a year at the highest levels and then move on to cash in a year from now.
