Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox was a recent guest on The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis. On the episode Fox and Green talked about a lot of topics, one of which was Fox’s future in Sacramento.
“That’s where I’m at. I love the city, I love being here and I raised my family here. Would love to be here and retire here, how many people can say they played for one organization for their whole career? I also wanna win,” Fox said. “They know I am going to give all I got, but at the end of the day the organization has also got to give all they got, that’s where we are right now.”
Fox has this season and next season left on his contract. Despite being extension-eligible last offseason, the veteran point guard did not ink a new deal with the Kings. Fox will again be extension-eligible this coming offseason and could add an additional year to his deal this time around vs last summer.
“It all has to do with the team, the organization, where are we going. I want to make sure that we’re in a position to try and win in the future because that’s ultimately what I want to do. I know I’ll make enough money regardless of where I play or what I do, I’m going to be fine,” Fox said about extending with the Sacramento.
The Kings points guard reiterated that competing for a championship is what really matters to him.
“Are we looking like we’re continuing to get better year after year and are we going to compete at a high level? That’s all mine is, if we could show that this year, you sign an extension now,” Fox said about what he thinks about the timing of extending. “If not, I still have another year. But that’s where my mindset is: At some point will we be able to compete for a championship or compete at a high level for a long time.”
