On the one hand, this kind of makes sense given that the Spurs (and Fox's agent) probably agreed to do this when they made the deal to trade for Fox this year. But after the draft/lotto, you have to wonder if they may be getting buyers remorse soon.
Harper+Castle look like a great back court. Not sure where Fox fits into this plan for the future at all.
I think Fox max was taken into account when trading for him. Or in other words - they would not trade for him, if they were not prepared to pay his max. While it might be an overpay, it is not that terrible deal, imho. Fox could be seen as a beta on a contender and will likely not be difficult to move, if they decide for another direction.
SA will have more tough decisions to make with an upcoming extension for Sochan. How much is he worth? Very difficult player to assess, imho. I guess up to 15 mil per is ok for him, but more could quickly become problematic long term.
