Fox trade chatter grows after Harper's bench comments stir fans
Spurs fans have been pushing for a De'Aaron Fox trade after Dylan Harper joked he wasn't fine coming off the bench, then walked the comment back on media day.
Fox is entering a four-year, $221.7M extension that pays him $61M in 2029-30, and his rough NBA Finals shooting has fans calling it one of the league's worst contracts.
Fox has said he isn't dwelling on the Finals performance, and no team involvement or trade talks are reported, just fan sentiment building around the roster fit with Harper and Stephon Castle.
Heavy.com's Sean Deveney has now floated Fox as a trade candidate this season, but only if he starts strong. Deveney argued Fox lacks a long-term future in San Antonio and suggested Harper could be a beneficiary if a move happened, though the idea remains speculative.
