In the event that this group stays together, by the time Harper's rookie extension kicks in, Fox will be in the last year of his deal. At that point, the Spurs could be in position to follow the OKC blueprint of three young max guys who have grown through winning together.

The San Antonio Spurs have given De'Aaron Fox a full max extension, totaling four years and $229 million, underlining their belief that the point guard will be able to return to All-NBA form while functioning as the secondary star next to Victor Wembanyama.

The Spurs and guard De'Aaron Fox have reached an agreement on a max deal that will keep him with the team through 2029-30.
