This is why De’Aaron Fox will wait to sign his extension with the Sacramento Kings

um that was on the show that was on the show you’re right Sam will join us on Thursday and we’ll do a draft postmortem or trade postmortem or both and we’re obviously going to talk about this article that he and Anthony Slater put out yesterday uh there’s a lot in here we’ve already talked a little bit uh about the uh the close call with Alex Caruso which God would have just been enough for like you reup Mike Brown you reup Malik Monk you added Alex Caruso like at that point I don’t care it’s a great off season don’t even care that’s that’s the type of move we need to make so that that’s disappointing but uh one of the things that caught a lot of people’s eyes uh was dearon Fox um there’s a a segment in here that says that that fox future Looms in the background as League sources say the All-Star guard has decided not to sign an extension this year in part because he wants to see how the roster takes shape for the Long Haul Fox who has two seasons left on his current deal wants to win at the highest level and could also qualify for a significantly larger max if he makes all NBA that part that part and the thing is look I want to say something but I want to couch it first by saying God hate Sacramento it’s something I’ve said a billion times I understand from a Kings fan point of you why you always think the worst thing is going to happen why there’s usually worry and ringing of I get I totally I totally get it I’m not blaming anybody for thinking this way and by the way maybe Fox is gonna leave like I can’t tell you he’s not but I’m old enough to remember when everybody was ringing their hands as to whether or not Mike Brown was going to sign an extension they were going to get it done I’m old enough to remember when everybody was ringing their hands over whether or not Malik monk was going to stay in Sacramento I’m also old enough to remember how many people uh in part didn’t like the halberton trade because Damonte sabonis was going to leave Sacramento and not sign an extension does dearon fox want to see how the roster takes shape sure does dearon fox want to win at the highest level absolutely does dearon fox want to hold out and see if he can make an all NBA team this year so that he can sign a contract that is many tens of millions of dollars higher than if he s let me let me put it a different way there is absolutely zero incentive for dearen Fox to sign an extension now other than well God forbid what if there was some crazy injury that happened here’s the thing though dearen Fox is already generationally wealthy we’re not talking about a guy who’s made $15 million in his career and this is his big you know look Malik Monk Is that’s a lot more surprising signing for only $78 million but Malik has kind of had to work his way through the league not that dearen hasn’t but he hasn’t made near the money dearen fox has made dearen Fox through his his deal he’s got right here is I think somewhere approaching about a quarter billion dollars when it’s done you’re talking about a deal that’s going to be what did I I want to say 375 400 Mill something crazy like that I got to find the numbers there’s no incentive for him to sign right now none it makes no sense so yes I’m not I’m not GNA sit here and and deny of course he wants to see the roster of course his agent is not an idiot obviously there’s there’s no point so use a little bit of Leverage keep a little bit of input if you want make sure you got people on their toes and could dearon Fox leave yeah by the way could the let me put it like let me put it a different way Jason I can’t come on the air nor can you and say well the Aon Fox is definitely a resigning extension I will say this I am more if I had the whole $250,000 bet we use if you told me one of two things is GNA happen dearon Fox will leave and not sign an extension or the Sacramento Kings will trade him at some point I would put the money on them trading him I don’t think either’s going to happen by the way I’m just saying I think that’s more likely yeah so and by more likely I mean 5% chance to 4 percent chance or something like that so it just just calm down on it yeah I I mean I’ll take the article for exactly the way it was worded and say again we like to say this phrase both things can be true that’s it like to me I would say in priorities his agent I’m sure dear himself would say it may zero cense to sign an extension today yes because I’m going to play next year and if I’m all NBA I am getting with a guarantee more money so I’m gonna bet on myself that part right and then okay now let’s go it doesn’t go that way he doesn’t become all NBA and they win 40 games sure and they’re the 12th seed and then he is another year of the contract and doesn’t get all NBA right doesn’t sign the extension and they win 40 games and they’re the 12th seed he will have given nine years to this organization that’s right at that point he would be gone yeah right yes but that’s going down that road or to actually your better like maybe they’ll go we we gota we we gotta reboot we got to trade him that’s not today that’s not tomorrow that’s way down the line if things don’t go in place but right dear’s really good dearen continues to get better I would say the odds of him becoming an all NBA player are probably pretty good not a lock but pretty good and if he does that means the team is also winning he’s probably happier they’re probably a playoff team and that’s the Rosier look like that’s a very legitimate path but if I’m dear in his Camp there’s no way I sign an extension course and I’m not saying this isn’t a story but I think you’d kind of like also put a little pressure on the they know they’re trying to win right so it’s like I think de’s happy I think he wants it to be here but Got Roots yeah and if doesn’t work then that’s the real like let’s try something else if you’re wondering about the numbers by the way so far in his career through last season he’s made just over $92 million in his career he has three years left on uh this deal he’s in right now and it’s worth about 105 million is what he’s got left coming to him so basically when it’s all said and done he’s going to be when this contract is over Darren Fox will I said a quarter billion He he’ll have made about 200 million and then if he signs to extension that would put him again if he gets the big one I think it’s 375 378 dearen Fox when his career is said and done will almost certainly have made a half a billion dollars isn’t that incredible all here likely right and if he plays this entire year here which I believe is going to happen nobody Dave has ever played eight full seasons as a Sacramento King is that true nobody so like the year like when Demarcus and Jason Thompson has the most games played yeah uh and fox has missed some games so but if Fox plays I want to say about 75 to 80 games this year he’ll he’ll pass Jason Thompson that’s crazy so not Mitch not Demarcus not Weber nope nobody’s ever played so he’s played seven years here this will be season eight wow that is incredible going this is eight season coming up that is crazy as a Sacramento King like the king overall there’s yeah like looking right now so Sam Lacy is the alltime franchise leader at 888 is there any Sacramento King in that top 10 uh there Jason Thompson is number eight at 541 Pia at 518 Mitch at 517 so you said 541 for JT 541 for JT I think daren’s at 4 60 something let me look here that’s I did not know that Jason Ross that’s actually really cool and there should be like a uh there should be a that deserves a video that deser that that deserves a video uh so uh yes dear fox has played 469 games so that would put him what did we say there that would put 469 which means by the end of next season assuming he plays let’s say 70 games oh my God he’s going to pass he’s going to be the alltime leader next year you right yeah absolutely he will pass Jason Thompson as the alltime leader in games played and then he’s only got another 340 to go to be the franchise leader so that’d be a good sign though up to those numbers six more seasons yeah plays his entire career for us he’s our Kobe Bryant he’s our Larry Bird he’s our Tony Gwyn he’s our uh C Jor those would all be really good signs yes I think things would be going quite well what’s the moral of the story there’s always a chance look you can walk out right now and get hit by a bus nobody can say anything for sure that’s the moral of the story the moral of the story is you could walk outside right now and get hit by a bus we’ll take a break that’s but but you so you you you can’t say absolutely he’s resigning but all signs point to that it’s definitely not something to worry about but I know and you know and we know it’s going to be this undercurrent thing that’s going to be well you know I mean Daren Fox it’s on the horizon you never know what’s going in it and honestly with all the other stuff going on right now trust me when I say we don’t need to expend the energy on any of that especially you can switch to full-time electric and save on that energy with our good
