[Saba Sports News] Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox has made a notable decision regarding his contract.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Fox has chosen not to sign a three-year, $165 million max extension this offseason.
Instead, he plans to wait until next offseason, when he’ll be eligible for a longer, more lucrative deal. By waiting, Fox could sign a four-year, $229 million max extension or a five-year, $345 million supermax if he makes an All-NBA team this season.
This decision doesn’t reflect any dissatisfaction with the Kings; Fox has expressed his desire to stay in Sacramento long-term. It’s purely a strategic move to maximize his contract potential.
