The news out of Sacramento regarding the Kings opening up trade talks for De’Aaron Fox has been surprising and fast in progression. It’s an even more interesting turn of events considering the Kings much-improved play of late following Mike Brown’s departure and Doug Christie‘s promotion.

De’Aaron Fox confirmed Wednesday what became public Tuesday. The Sacramento Kings guard validated reports the team was fielding calls and trade offers for the former All-Star, and indicated he wouldn’t be surprised if he were moved ahead of the Feb.

De'Aaron Fox reportedly hitting the open market opens up significant opportunities for several blockbuster deals to close before the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline.
