After months of tension, build-up, and media arguments, the Spurs' latest star, De'Aaron Fox, finally got paid. Bring out the cake and candles because getting compensated like this is worthy of celebration. Despite only 17 games with the franchise, we all knew he would be getting the Brinks truck. It was only a matter of when. Whether you believe he deserves $229 million or not, he earned his way here.
However, once the party is wrapped up, Fox will have to face the harsh reality of the NBA business. Despite his gigantic contract, his place on the Spurs is far from guaranteed.
