Spurs Back De'Aaron Fox as No. 1 Pick Dylan Harper Fuels Trade Talk

ESPN reported the Spurs remain internally committed to De'Aaron Fox as their franchise starting point guard, despite a growing offseason debate over whether San Antonio should trade him.
One rough playoff series — with Fox essentially playing on one leg — has not changed the front office's view of him as a calming presence and the team's closer for most of the season.
Trade speculation intensified after San Antonio landed No. 1 pick Dylan Harper and created a crowded guard rotation, while Fox's postseason slump also hurt his perceived market value.
A summer deal still appears possible if the right offer emerges, but moving Fox now could weaken the Spurs on the court, pressure young guards Harper and Stephon Castle, and bring back a limited return.
