Spurs delay De'Aaron Fox trade decision after Wembanyama deal

The San Antonio Spurs have postponed any decision on trading De'Aaron Fox following Victor Wembanyama's massive contract extension. The move could keep the point guard in San Antonio for at least two more years, according to ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

What does this mean for De'Aaron Fox?

Fox, a former star point guard, had a disappointing playoff run last season. While trade rumors swirled throughout the year, Wembanyama's new deal has given the Spurs financial flexibility. This delay suggests the organization sees value in keeping Fox, at least for now.

Why the Spurs might hold onto Fox

Despite his struggles, Fox remains one of the NBA's top point guards. Trading him purely for salary cap relief doesn't make sense, especially if the return isn't substantial. The Spurs would need a compelling offer to move on from a player of his caliber.

What's next for the Spurs and Fox?

The Spurs now have time to evaluate Fox's fit with Wembanyama and the rest of the team. If they decide to trade him, it will likely be for a package that significantly improves their roster. For now, Fox remains a key piece of the Spurs' future plans.
