Are there any conflicts in the lineup? Will at least one of the Spurs three major backcourts leave the team within two years?

According to the authoritative ESPN reporter Shams Charania, the San Antonio Spurs have reached an agreement with the team's backcourt core, De 'Aaron Fox, who received a four-year maximum salary renewal contract worth $229 million.

CBS sports journalist Sam Quinn seems to have some skepticism about the renewal, and he decisively predicts that at least one of Fox, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper will leave the Spurs in the next two years. Quinn analyzed: In the next two years, I can boldly predict that at least one of the three players, Fox, Castle and Harper, will not appear in the Spurs' squad. I don't know who will be the player who left, but I think this is one of the most important storylines in the NBA field in the next two years.

In a three-party deal before the trading deadline last season, the Spurs got him from Fox's old club, the Sacramento Kings. In order to get Fox, the Spurs gave the Kings three future first-round picks and two future second-round picks, which also shows their determination to get Fox. After joining the Spurs, Fox made a total of 17 appearances in the NBA regular season last season, averaging 34 minutes of playing time, averaging 19.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 2.4 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. He shot 44.6%, three-point shooting percentage 27.4%, and free throw shooting percentage 81.9%.

In the NBA regular season last season, Castle played a total of 81 games in 82 games, averaging 26.7 minutes per game, averaging 14.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 2.2 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 42.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 28.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 72.4%. In the NCAA game last season, Harper played 29 times for Rutgers, who was in his position, and averaged 32.7 minutes per game, averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds (0.8 frontcourt rebounds), 4 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks, and 2.4 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 48.4% (6.7/13.8), his three-point shooting percentage was 33.3% (1.7/5.2), and his free throw shooting percentage was 75% (4.3/5.8).

In fact, from the actual situation, the conflict between Fox, Castle and Harper may not be that big. Fox is a No. 1 player who can consume a lot of ball rights and has strong scoring ability. The reason why he was unable to fully display his value last season was closely related to his often arranged to appear in the second position. As for Harper, judging from the Summer League situation, he seems to be more like a young version of Manu Ginobili. Judging from Castle's performance last season, although he won the honor of Best Rookie, his talent in passing and organization is relatively average, or he has been proven to be unsuitable for the No. 1 position. Fox played the No. 1 position, Devin Vassell played the No. 2 position, Castle played the No. 3 position, and Harper played the No. 6 position, and there seemed to be no big problem. If Harper's growth goes well, he should replace Wassell in two years, not necessarily Fox?
