De'Aaron Fox just took Jamal Murray's spot on dreaded NBA list with new contract

After trading for him at the deadline, the Spurs reached an agreement with De’Aaron Fox on Monday, extending him for four years and $229 million. The deal is similar to, but slightly larger than, the four-year, $208 million max extension that the Nuggets gave Jamal Murray last offseason.

The Murray deal was, in some ways, necessary for the Nuggets to get done, but at the same time, it felt like a drastic overpay, even in the moment.
