According to the latest media reports, the Kings officially reached a four-year, $224 million maximum salary renewal with the team's starting point guard Dalong Fox. This contract has increased year by year with an annual increase of 7%, and its annual salary reached US$63.3 million in the last year of the 2029-2030 season. Fox was traded to the Spurs in the middle of last season, and averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists per game. Compared with Harden, who left the Rockets for the championship, Fox is really lucky!

Harden traded all the important players around Harden such as Ariza, Capela, etc. in the end, seeing that he had no hope of winning the championship, Harden refused the team's 2-year, $121 million maximum salary contract, and chose to trade to join the Nets and Irving Durant, but everyone knows the final result, the three most unsatisfactory giants in their history.

The Nets' Big Three

, and Harden has been away from the Rockets for five seasons in a blink of an eye! In recent years, Harden not only did not win the championship, but also left a single injury. In those two seasons in Philadelphia, Harden directly chose to cut his salary by 15 million to strengthen the management. In the end, due to Embiid's injury problem, the team still could not make a breakthrough in the playoffs. In the past two seasons, the two contracts signed were 70 million in 2 years and 81 million in 2 years. No annual salary exceeds 40 million in a year. Only in the next two seasons can it exceed 40 million. However, in this league with a salary of 50 million in annual salary, 40 million is no longer considered a maximum salary player! I just hope to join forces with Paul again next season, so that the two can play healthy and complete the season. It doesn’t matter whether they win the championship or not!

Let's fight again
