Recently, there's been a poignant scene in the NBA: The Kings, without their top star De'Aaron Fox due to injury, have managed to win five games in a row! You might call it a coincidence, but this streak coincides with the turmoil surrounding Fox's contract renewal issues with the team. This raises a big question: When the team collectively celebrates victories, is that once "core" player still as important? It turns out that Fox has gotten himself into quite a predicament. He turned down the Kings' offer of a three-year, 165millionmaxcontractextension,insistingonafive−year,165 million max contract extension, insisting on a five-year, 165millionmaxcontractextension,insistingonafive−year,346 million supermax deal. That's a hefty sum, indeed. However, the question remains: Does his performance justify such a contract? The team seems to be doing better without him, which is quite unsettling. Let's delve into this matter and see what's really going on. Every player has the right to pursue higher pay, after all, it's the nature of professional sports. But this time, Fox and his agent, Rich Paul, seem to have taken too big a step. In the eyes of his agent, Fox should be among the league's top-tier players, on par with superstars like Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum. In reality, though, Fox's resume includes only one playoff appearance. We're not talking about explosive stats here; his leadership abilities alone are questionable. American media can't help but speak with data: Fox's effective field goal percentage and defensive impact rank only in the upper-middle range among point guards in the league, far from being at the "ceiling" level.

When Silas left Houston, Rockets general manager Stone expressed his gratitude to him. Although Silas is not capable enough, he has successfully completed the task of tanking assigned by the Rockets management, and he has both merits and hardships. Let's take a look at the Nets. They have won 12 games in the Eastern Conference with insufficient competitiveness so far, and they have already fallen behind the first group of tanking. The Nets' general manager is anxious.
