With his free agency in sight, Fox will be expecting a max extension contract from Sacramento. “Depending on where the NBA’s final salary cap numbers come in, Fox is eligible for a five-year max money contract worth between $150-180 million. Don’t expect a discounted rate. He will ask for and likely get whatever the maximum is allowed under the collective bargaining agreement,” said James Ham of NBC Sports.

This clearly brings out Fox’s significance to the team. It’s been three years since Fox got drafted by Sacramento. Now, they wish to keep him with a five-year contract. McNair himself reflected on De’Aaron’s role for the Kings in a press conference. “De’Aaron is an incredible young talent,” McNair said. “I’ve loved to see what he’s done and what he’s improved on over the years and he’s got a very bright future ahead of him.”
