The San Antonio Spurs are considering a trade that would send veteran point guard De'Aaron Fox to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for star forward Paul George. After struggling in the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks, the Spurs are looking to revamp their roster for future seasons. A report suggests that moving Fox, whose contract extension starts next season, could ease the financial burden on the Spurs, as George's contract is shorter.
