Spurs linked to De'Aaron Fox-centered trade for $48 million ex-Knicks, Warriors fan-favorite

De'Aaron Fox averaged 13 points in the Finals as analysts floated trades to the Chicago Bulls or Brooklyn Nets, citing his $229 million contract.

  • Following the San Antonio Spurs' 4-1 NBA Finals loss to the New York Knicks, speculation has intensified regarding veteran guard De'Aaron Fox's future with the franchise. Fans and analysts are calling for roster changes after the team squandered double-digit leads in every game.
  • Fox averaged 13 points during the Finals, struggling with shooting and late-game errors including a missed layup in Game 4. While recovering from an ankle injury sustained in the Western Conference semifinals, his performance became a focal point of criticism.
  • Observers noted Fox recently unfollowed the Spurs on Instagram, sparking online speculation. Commenters drew comparisons to his behavior before requesting a trade from the Sacramento Kings.
  • Despite the rumors, ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst reported on Monday that San Antonio remains committed to Fox as their franchise point guard. Windhorst dismissed the notion that the organization plans to move on this offseason.
  • The Spurs must balance their roster featuring emerging stars rookie Dylan Harper and Victor Wembanyama with Fox's massive $229 million four-year contract extension. Analysts have suggested the team could explore trading the veteran to clear salary space for Harper's expanded role.
