This is the largest contract in the history of the Spurs

In this offseason, they first renewed their contract with a four-year, $229 million max salary. The average salary of this new contract reaches $57.25 million, and the annual salary in the last year will exceed 63 million.

This is the largest contract in the history of the Spurs, but there is no doubt that for Fox this is obviously a premium contract.

After being traded to the Spurs last season, Fox only represented the Spurs in 17 games, averaging 34 minutes per game, handed in 19.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 2.4 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 44.6% + 27.4%, and a real shooting percentage of 56%.

Compared with the King's period, Fox's performance declined significantly. On the one hand, it was due to the impact of injuries and on the other hand, it was poor running-in. However, even if we refer to the resume of the King's period, the maximum salary is still a bit far from Fox. In his 8-year career as Kings, Fox only led the team to play the playoffs once, and the final result was to be eliminated in the first round tiebreak. From the perspective of personal honors, Fox only has 1 All-Star, 1 Best Three Team, and 1 Best Key Player of the Year, so the upper limit is the All-Star player.

Fox's advantage lies in its speed and explosiveness, but it is difficult to carry the team without stable projection and organizational ability. Although the maximum salary is expensive, this is the All-Star partner the Spurs spent 4 first-round picks to find for the literary team, and there is no choice but to renew the contract.

Fox's contract renewal is just the first step in the Spurs' blueprint. The real highlight lies in the renewal of Yama next summer's vocational school.

Under the labor and capital agreement, Wenban is eligible to receive a five-year up to US$271 million in advance renewal next year, and the first year of the contract will begin from the 2027-28 season. If Wenban wins the MVP, Best Defensive Player Award or is selected for the Best Team of the Year in the 26-27 season, the amount of this contract renewal will increase to $326 million.

For the literary class, MVP may still be a bit far away, but DPOY or the best lineup is simply a piece of cake. You should know that if it weren't for an injury last season, he had almost locked in the DPOY+ best lineup in advance, so there was no suspense to win a super top salary of US$326 million.

There is no doubt that Wenban is definitely worth the Spurs' super maximum salary. As a future league's store level player, Wenban's appearance even has the hope of rewriting the future of the league.

In the first year of the rookie season, Wenban averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.6 blocks per game, and was successfully selected as the Best Rookie First Team, Best Defensive First Team of the Year, and Block King of the Year. He has already shown a DPOY-level influence in the rookie season.

And in the second year of the rookie, Wenban's progress even exceeded expectations. Before that, Wenban was regarded as a super genius with the ceiling of the defensive league and an offense that has yet to be developed, but last season, Wenban's progress on the offensive end was amazing.

Last season, Wenban averaged 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 3.8 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 47.6% + 35.3%, of which three-point shooting accounted for as high as 47.3%. Three-pointers were the biggest improvement point of Wenban last season.

is reflected in high-level data. Last season, the team won 3 points in a 100-round match, and if they were not present, they lost 7.8 points. The net efficiency difference between being present and being absent reached +10.8.

The Spurs' record last season was 34 wins and 48 losses, an increase of 12 games compared to the previous year's victory. The Spurs are only 5 games away from the 10th Mavericks. If it weren't for Wenban's unexpected season reimbursement, they might have made it to the playoffs last season.

But next season, the real explosion period between Wenban and the Spurs is about to begin. Fox + Wenban will bear a total of US$550 million in super maximum salary, which will be the cornerstone of the Spurs' team building in the future.

Wait until next season, the Spurs' lineup will come...

- Starting: Fox, Castle, Vassel, Barnes, Vinban

- Substitutes: Kaden Johnson, Champany, Sohan, Olenick

This new lineup includes an All-Star point guard, a future MVP-level center, and a group of future super-on-combat powers. The future is absolutely promising, and the upper limit of the Vinban will also determine the upper limit of the Spurs.
