The Sacramento Kings will reportedly be open to trading their star point guard, De'Aaron Fox. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Kings are expected to open talks to potentially deal Fox before the Feb. 6 trade deadline.
De'Aaron Fox has never played for an NBA team outside of the Sacramento Kings, but that could change in the coming days. ESPN's Shams Charania
Fox, who was an NBA All-Star and NBA Clutch Player of the Year in 2023, led the league in steals last season. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, there will be “ plenty of suitors ” for his services if he does become available on the trade market.
The Sacramento Kings will listen to offers for star point guard De'Aaron Fox before the Feb. 6 trade deadline, ESPN reported Tuesday.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the Kings are expected to open talks for All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox ahead of the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline. The San Antonio Spurs have been rumored as a preferred destination for Fox with significant mutual interest from both sides, according to Forbes NBA reporter Evan Sidery.
De’Aaron Fox could soon find himself playing for another team for the first time in his eight-year NBA career.
The Sacramento Kings have made a critical decision regarding De'Aaron Fox's future ahead of the trade deadline.
Fox, who has spent his whole career in Sacramento, would immediately become the most prominent name in the trade market.
Assuming the Kings don't get an All-Star-level player in return for Fox, their current roster construction could begin to tumble. The Kings are built around Fox's speed and the playmaking ability of Domantas Sabonis. Without Fox pushing the tempo, the Kings rotation could quickly falter.
Even with the Sacramento Kings righting the ship after a slow start, a massive organizational change is right on the horizon with De'Aaron Fox likely leaving.
Now, with the NBA trade deadline just over a week away, things are set to get even more wild. The Kings have constantly been rumored to be gearing up for a deal ahead of the deadline, but none as significant as new reports suggest.
