Thomas clause! 229 million in 4 years! Signed decisively! This is a smart person
12:10pm, 5 August 2025Basketball
According to shams, the Spurs have reached an early contract renewal with Fox for 4 years of $229 million. There are no options in the
contract (no player options or team options), nor any transaction terms, bonus terms, or non-guarantee terms, which is an ordinary 4-year period of 229 million. I haven't seen such a direct contract that is just to pay money and not add any terms.
4 years of 229 million, which is the highest maximum salary contract Fox can get now. When Doncic renewed his contract two days ago, we have popularized the specific maximum salary when the player renewed his contract 👉 Doncic renewed his contract Fox entered the NBA in the 2017 draft and has played in the NBA for 8 years.
Fox's contract brought from the king has 37 million left for the last year.
So if you want to renew your contract, you need to look at the salary cap for the 2026-27 season, and the salary cap for the 26-27 season is expected to be 170 million.
According to regulations, Fox's maximum salary is 30% of the salary cap of the 2026-27 season, which is about 51 million US dollars, with an annual salary increase of about 8%, which is about 229 million in four years. After signing this contract, Fox's total career income has exceeded Paul!
is still easy to make money from the NBA now! Over the years, fans have repeatedly mocked Paul for having money in place, and if the money is in place, it is okay to not have the championship. But from this point of view Paul didn't earn much in his career! Finally I understand why those cabinet sisters of luxury brands always feel that they are so expensive. This palace has seen too many of these NBA contracts, and now it feels that earning $400 million means not making much money.
In fact, if Fox operates like Doncic, he can make more money. Do you want to ask, why don’t Fox sign a short contract like Doncic, and then get a higher maximum salary contract after he’s 10 years old? !
Fox was the 2017 draft. If he wanted to operate like Doncic, he only needed to sign a short contract of 1+1 now. If he jumped out of the contract in the summer of 2027, he was eligible for a 5-year contract with a starting salary of 35% of the salary cap. However, Fox's situation is indeed more applicable to the "Thomas clause", commonly known as closing when it is better, hahahahaha.
Fox and Thomas are also considered to be "the same family and the same origin". It is reasonable to be able to understand the "Thomas clause" more deeply than others
Fox averaged 23.5 points, 6.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds this season
When he was with the Kings in the first half of the season, he averaged 25 points, 6.1 assists. After being traded to the Spurs, the rookie averaged only 19.7 points, 6.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds,
The last year of the rookie contract (2020-21 season), with an annual salary of 8 million, Fox averaged 25.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists per game. In contrast, after coming to the Spurs, the data really dropped a lot due to the decline in tactical status and other reasons.
To be honest, his performance with the Spurs in the second half of the season and his maximum salary contract was still given by the Spurs. I really have to be content.
You should know that if Doncic chooses to sign with the Lakers for 4 years, the highest he can get a four-year, 229 million contract like Fox (Doncic chose to break out of the original contract for the 2026-27 season).
Let's not talk about anything else. Just from the trading value of medium-term transactions, Doncic is much more valuable than Fox.
These two of them are trading teams in the mid-term trading this year...
The Lakers replaced Doncic, with Davis, Christie and the first round of 2029, which are already considered to be sold at a low price by the Mavericks.
The Kings traded Fox, only exchanged for Raven, Sissoko, 3 first rounds and 3 second rounds. At that time, it was generally believed that the Kings could get 3 first rounds not because they gave Fox, but more because they were willing to swallow the junk contract of Laven, after Doncic transferred to the Lakers, although the data also declined, it was still very awesome.
averaged 28.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 8.1 assists per game, and 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists per game in the 2023-24 season, which is a decline.
In other words, can you see Doncic like the 2023-24 season in the Lakers?
If Doncic can get data such as 30+9+9 in the Lakers, will he be able to get the MVP?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Lakers are in Doncic in the future.
Similarly, anyone with discerning eyes can see that the Spurs will not be with Fox in the future.
Come on, tell me loudly, who will the Spurs be in the future?
