Kings reportedly plan trade talks for De'Aaron Fox with Spurs

The Sacramento Kings are reportedly open to trading star point guard De'Aaron Fox, with multiple teams reaching out following ESPN's Shams Charania's report. Fox, who has expressed a preference for the San Antonio Spurs as his next destination, is averaging 25.2 points, 6.2 assists, and is considered a key player despite the Kings' struggles this season. The Kings, currently under interim coach Doug Christie after firing Mike Brown, are looking to move Fox before the February 6 trade deadline, particularly since he has declined contract extension offers amid uncertainty about the franchise's future. Acquiring Fox would pair him with Spurs' rising star Victor Wembanyama, creating a potent offensive duo. However, the Spurs will need to navigate salary cap challenges to make such a trade feasible. The situation reflects broader trade dynamics as teams prepare for the upcoming deadline, highlighting the urgency for the Kings to avoid losing Fox without a return on investment.
