According to the latest reports, Durant has informed people around him that he is likely to join the Spurs next season. As the best NBA team in the first 20 years of the 21st century, the Spurs are expected to usher in a moment of revival.

If Durant joins, then the Spurs will have a terrifying frontcourt combination of Vinbanyama and Durant, and they will bring great defensive challenges to any team. However, neither Vinbanyama nor Durant, they are absolutely ball-holding offensive players. They still need the defenders to deliver shells to them and lead the offensive and defensive rhythm. This important task now falls on Di Aaron Fox.

As of the end of the season, the Spurs traded at a not-so-high price and were considered to have made an ideal deal. But after joining the Spurs, Fox has not met people's expectations. In 19 games, Fox averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists per game, and finally bid farewell to the game in advance due to injury. He and Vinban Yama each suffered injuries that made them unable to establish a good chemical reaction, but there is no doubt that Fox is still the defender the Spurs need to rely on in the future.

Since entering the league in 2017, Fox has averaged 21.5 points and 6.1 assists per game. He was the absolute offensive core of the Kings and was also selected as the All-Star. Therefore, he is fully qualified to lead the Spurs' offense with Durant and Vinban Yama on the court at the same time. After all, no one can replace his breakthrough ability and speed.

Recently, Fox talked about his future with the Spurs in an interview. According to the Labor Agreement, Fox is eligible to sign a contract with the Spurs for up to 4 years and $229 million this summer. Regarding his prospects for renewal with the Spurs, Fox said, "I definitely hope so (stay with the Spurs).

Talking about his current situation, Fox said, "I am recovering well now, the surgery is progressing smoothly, I can play 5V5 against each other, so I will be ready for next season."

If the Spurs can really get Durant and retain most of their core players, then the competitiveness of this team will be greatly improved. Since 2020, the Spurs have never tasted the taste of the playoffs. This once extremely brilliant team is ushering in the dawn after constantly accumulating strength over the years. Fox will undoubtedly determine to a large extent what height this team can reach in the future.
