Spurs must handle newest star carefully during high-stakes negotiations

Lost in the hoopla of the NBA Draft and free agency is the upcoming De'Aaron Fox extension. Fox's extension can't be signed until August 3rd, giving the Spurs and Fox a chance to negotiate.

When he was acquired from the Sacramento Kings, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that he would get the full max. In fact, many fans suspected that he and the Spurs had already worked out an agreement.

That's considering that Fox chose San Antonio, something that many other stars haven't done, and steered his way to the Spurs to play with Victor Wembanyama.
