Spurs must play hardball with star's extension after stellar offseason

August 3rd will mark the first time the San Antonio Spurs can offer a max extension to star De'Aaron Fox. While it was initially a foregone conclusion that he would get a four-year, a $223 million extension, that may no longer be the case.

After all, a lot has changed since the Spurs acquired him back in February, with them surprisingly landing the second overall pick and selecting guard Dylan Harper.

Harper, Stephon Castle, and superstar Victor Wembanyama are all within 3 years of one another in terms of age, making them the clear focal points of the Spurs' young core.
