Report: Teams eyeing Fox trade believe offseason move more likely originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
If De’Aaron Fox eventually does become available on the trade market, it might not be until this offseason.
As rumors begin to swirl regarding the star guard’s future in Sacramento after the Kings’ (15-19) slow start to the 2024-25 NBA season and the recent firing of coach Mike Brown, Fox has not requested a trade, The Athletic’s Sam Amick reported in his latest column, citing league sources.
Amick also reported that while Fox has not requested a trade, that hasn’t stopped interested teams from planning a potential run at the 27-year-old, who they believe is more likely to become available this summer rather than before the NBA’s Feb. 6 trade deadline this season.
The teams Amick mentions being discussed the most as potential Fox landing spots, if he does eventually become available, are the San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers, with the Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets also viewed as two teams that could make sense.
In 34 games this season, Fox is averaging a career-high 26.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game on 49.2-percent shooting from the field and 32.9 percent from 3-point range.
Both Fox and the Kings, at least publicly, are committed to turning Sacramento’s season around and making a playoff push with the second half of the season right around the corner.
However, if things continue to fall apart for Sacramento, there likely would be no shortage of interest in Fox if he does become available in the coming weeks.
According to a recent report, multiple teams are eyeing a potential trade for Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox this offseason. Sources close to the situation believe that a move involving Fox is becoming more likely as the offseason progresses.
Fox, who is considered one of the most promising young guards in the league, has been the subject of trade rumors in recent months. With the Kings struggling to make the playoffs and looking to shake up their roster, teams are keeping a close eye on Fox’s situation.
While nothing is set in stone, the increasing interest in Fox from other teams suggests that a trade could be on the horizon. It remains to be seen where Fox could potentially land, but it is clear that his future with the Kings is uncertain.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as the offseason unfolds.
