Trade Rumors: Butler, Pelicans, Fox, Spurs, Yabusele, Wolves, Bogdanovic
Addressing a Friday report that stated the Pelicans have contacted Miami about Jimmy Butler, John Gambadoro of Arizona 98.7 tweets that New Orleans has “no interest” in trading for the Heat forward.
Butler doesn’t want to go to New Orleans and the Pelicans would be hard-pressed to add him in a swap involving Brandon Ingram without increasing their team salary, which they don’t want to do, Gambadoro notes (via Twitter), adding that he believes the Heat or Butler’s agent are using the Pelicans for leverage.
For what it’s worth, Jake Fischer of The Stein Line – who initially co-reported the Pelicans/Heat discussions along with Marc Stein – said in a Bleacher Report stream on Friday (video link) that while the two teams have talked, he doesn’t think Butler ending up in New Orleans “sounds likely at all.”
Here are a few more trade rumors from around the NBA:
- Despite some chatter from local media in San Antonio about the Spurs potentially gaining momentum toward a De’Aaron Fox trade, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee (Twitter link) hears from a source with knowledge of the situation that “all is quiet as of now” and that no deal involving the Kings star appears imminent. If the Spurs do make a deal for Fox, it’s unlikely to include Stephon Castle, according to plugged-in Sacramento reporter Damien Barling of ESPN 1320 (Twitter link), who says indications are that San Antonio won’t be willing to give up the rookie guard.
- In another story for The Stein Line (Substack link), Fischer adds the Timberwolves to the list of teams that have inquired on Sixers big man Guerschon Yabusele. Philadelphia has received offers that include multiple second-round picks for Yabusele, according to Fischer.
- After Stein reported on Thursday that the Hawks are actively exploring potential Bogdan Bogdanovic trades, Fischer follows up (Substack link) by citing momentum toward a deal, with confidence rising in Atlanta that a deal will get down. However, both Stein and Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports (Twitter link) dispute that a deal with the Suns involving Jusuf Nurkic is among the options currently under consideration.
With the NBA trade deadline quickly approaching, there are plenty of rumors swirling around some big names in the league. Here are the latest trade rumors involving Jimmy Butler, the New Orleans Pelicans, De’Aaron Fox, the San Antonio Spurs, Guerschon Yabusele, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Bogdan Bogdanovic.1. Jimmy Butler: There have been reports that the Miami Heat are interested in acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Philadelphia 76ers. The Heat are looking to add another star player to their roster and Butler could be the perfect fit.
2. New Orleans Pelicans: The Pelicans are reportedly open to trading some of their key players, including Jrue Holiday and JJ Redick. With the team struggling this season, they may be looking to shake up their roster and acquire some assets for the future.
3. De’Aaron Fox: The Sacramento Kings have received inquiries about point guard De’Aaron Fox, but it is unlikely that they will trade him. Fox is a key piece of their young core and the Kings are committed to building around him.
4. San Antonio Spurs: The Spurs are open to trading some of their veterans, including LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan. Both players have been mentioned in trade rumors, but it remains to be seen if the Spurs will pull the trigger on any deals.
5. Guerschon Yabusele: The Boston Celtics are reportedly looking to trade Guerschon Yabusele to clear up some cap space. Yabusele has struggled to find consistent playing time with the Celtics and a change of scenery could benefit both parties.
6. Minnesota Timberwolves: The Timberwolves are exploring trade options for Robert Covington and Jeff Teague. Both players have drawn interest from other teams and the Timberwolves could look to make a move before the deadline.
7. Bogdan Bogdanovic: The Sacramento Kings are fielding offers for Bogdan Bogdanovic, who is set to become a restricted free agent this summer. Several teams are reportedly interested in acquiring the sharpshooting guard, who could provide a boost to a contender’s bench.
As the trade deadline approaches, it will be interesting to see which of these rumors come to fruition and how they will impact the league’s landscape. Stay tuned for more updates on potential trades in the NBA.

#Trade #Rumors #Butler #Pelicans #Fox #Spurs #Yabusele #Wolves #BogdanovicDeMar DeRozan amid De’Aaron Fox trade rumors: ‘I don’t have much time left, I’m not trying to play another five years’
“It’s tough because looking at the landscape before I came here those were the guys I talked to, Fox, Domantas, and Malik,” DeRozan said. “Those are the core guys that made it easy for me to make my decision to play here. A key juggernaut in Fox, not knowing the future of that, it does make it tough. I don’t have much time left, I’m not trying to play another 5 years. “I want to try to maximize the opportunity we have now to play with a great team. You never know when dominoes fall the wrong way when it comes to an organization it makes it tough. So it’s something we just have to wait out and see in the meantime make the most out of it.”

Amidst swirling trade rumors involving Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox, San Antonio Spurs star DeMar DeRozan has spoken out about his future in the NBA.DeRozan, who is in the final year of his contract with the Spurs, has been the subject of trade speculation as the team looks to rebuild. However, the veteran guard made it clear that he is not interested in playing another five years in the league.
“I don’t have much time left in this league, and I’m not trying to play another five years,” DeRozan said in a recent interview. “I want to make the most of my remaining years and compete at the highest level possible.”
DeRozan, a four-time All-Star, has been a consistent scorer and playmaker throughout his career, averaging over 20 points per game in each of his 12 seasons in the NBA. He has also been a leader on and off the court, earning the respect of his teammates and coaches wherever he has played.
As the trade deadline approaches, it remains to be seen if DeRozan will be moved to a contending team or if he will finish out the season with the Spurs. Regardless of where he ends up, it is clear that DeRozan is focused on making the most of the time he has left in the league.

Former Fox Sports anchor and reporter Julie Stewart-Binks filed a lawsuit Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court in which she alleges that Fox Sports executive vice president Charlie Dixon sexually assaulted her in 2016 while she was working at the network.
According to the complaint, Dixon pushed her against a wall, pinned her arms and forcibly kissed Stewart-Binks in January 2016 following a meeting to discuss an upcoming Super Bowl assignment. Stewart-Binks alleges she later reported his conduct to a Fox human resources representative but that the network “egregiously made the deliberate decision to protect Dixon and allow a sexual predator to remain an executive at Fox for nearly a decade.”
The lawsuit against Fox and Dixon follows a separate lawsuit filed earlier this month by Noushin Faraji, a former hairstylist at the network. In that complaint, Faraji alleges that Dixon groped her at a co-worker’s birthday party by “rubbing her body and groping her buttocks” in January 2017.
Dixon did not respond to multiple messages seeking comment. Fox Sports said in a statement: “These allegations are from over eight years ago. At the time, we promptly hired a third-party firm to investigate and addressed the matter based on their findings.”
Stewart-Binks worked full-time at FS1 from the network’s launch in 2013 until 2016. According to the lawsuit, she had been assigned to work as a host on Jason Whitlock’s pop-up show for the 2016 Super Bowl when Dixon invited her to a hotel bar in Marina Del Rey, Calif., to discuss that assignment.
At that meeting, “instead of discussing logistics or his vision for the show, Dixon began berating Stewart-Binks, telling her: ‘You’re not funny, interesting or talented,’” according to the complaint. After telling Stewart-Binks she was “not capable of handling big moments on TV,” Dixon allegedly gestured toward the bar and said: “The only way someone would watch you is if you got on top of this bar and took your top off.” He also allegedly told her: “You’re not hot enough to be a hot girl on TV.”
Dixon later asked Stewart-Binks to come to his hotel room for a beer and to see the view from his balcony. This set off “alerts” in Stewart-Binks’ mind, according to the complaint, but she felt she could not refuse him because he was her boss.
Once in the room, Dixon asked her to come out on the balcony and “swiftly pushed her against the wall and pinned her arms to her side,” according to the complaint. “With her arms forcefully held down and his body pressed against hers, Dixon tried to force his tongue into her mouth.” Stewart-Binks said her mouth remained shut but that Dixon “ignored her, continuing to press against her body and lick her closed mouth. While keeping one of her arms pinned, he moved his other arm from pressing her upper elbow against the wall to her body and towards her chest.”
She fled the room and, after getting in her car, called a friend to disclose what happened. The complaint does not identify that person, referring to her only as “Anonymous Friend.”
Stewart-Binks asserts in the litigation that she worried about what her rejection of Dixon’s advances would mean for her future at FS1. She decided against disclosing what allegedly happened at the hotel because she feared losing her job, particularly given that her contract was up for renewal.
Days later, Stewart-Binks was in San Francisco working as a host on Whitlock’s Super Bowl show. At a production meeting on Feb. 4, 2016, a producer told the show crew that New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski had revealed recently that he had once been a stripper in college. According to the complaint, that producer and others encouraged Stewart-Binks to coax Gronkowski into doing some “Magic Mike moves” for her (a reference to a 2012 movie about male exotic dancers). The hope was to create “a viral moment.” One producer even handed her dollar bills as a prop.
Stewart-Binks was widely criticized for her role in the stunt, during which Gronkowski straddled her and gyrated his hips while she sat on a couch.
“Ordinarily, Ms. Stewart-Binks would have considered the implications of such a performance. However, fresh off Dixon’s assault, both physical and verbal, Ms. Stewart-Binks was determined to prove that she was fun and belonged in FS1’s new regime,” the complaint states. “She had to show Dixon and Fox that she had what it took to be a fun, interesting personality capable of handling big moments on TV.”
Dixon’s sexual and verbal assault and the vitriol directed at her in the wake of the Gronkowski incident “took a profound emotional toll,” according to the complaint.
Stewart-Binks was told the next month – March 2016 – that her contract would not be renewed.
According to the complaint, Stewart-Binks was contacted by a Fox human resources official in June 2017 as that official was probing allegations made against Jamie Horowitz, another FS1 executive. She told that HR representative she had nothing substantive to share about Horowitz but conveyed what allegedly happened with Dixon. Stewart-Binks states in the complaint that she provided the HR official with the names of two Fox employees with whom she disclosed her experience with Dixon. Those two employees told Stewart-Binks they corroborated her account with Fox’s HR official, according to the complaint.
In July 2017, Horowitz was fired by Fox Sports, but Dixon remained at the network. Then-Fox Sports president Eric Shanks wrote to staffers when announcing Horowitz’s exit: “Everyone at Fox Sports, no matter what role we play, or what business, function or show we contribute to—should act with respect and adhere to professional conduct at all times. These values are non-negotiable.”
Stewart-Binks went on to work in smaller roles for ESPN, CBC and other outlets. She currently hosts a podcast with former NHL player Nate Thompson, works as a reporter for SNY and the PWHL and is a brand ambassador and host for the BetRivers Sportsbook Network.
According to the complaint: “Stewart-Binks tried to put everything about Fox behind her and move forward with her new positions within the sports industry, but each time she saw a former colleague from Fox thriving on the national stage while she remained covering smaller markets, a pang of frustration lingered. This wasn’t the life she had envisioned for herself. Intrusive thoughts would enter her mind on how different her life could have been if she had just had sex with Dixon, but she would shut them down. To cope with the severe emotional toll of what Dixon had done to her, Ms. Stewart-Binks sought professional help.”

In a shocking turn of events, former host Julie Stewart-Binks has filed a lawsuit against Fox Sports, alleging that a high-ranking executive at FS1 sexually assaulted her. The lawsuit, which was filed in a New York court, claims that Stewart-Binks was assaulted by the executive during a work-related meeting.Stewart-Binks, who was a popular host on FS1 before leaving the network in 2019, is seeking damages for emotional distress, lost wages, and other damages. The lawsuit also alleges that Fox Sports failed to take appropriate action to address the assault and protect Stewart-Binks from further harm.
This lawsuit is just the latest in a string of sexual harassment and assault allegations against high-profile figures in the sports media industry. It serves as a reminder of the importance of creating a safe and respectful work environment for all employees, regardless of their position or status.
Fox Sports has yet to respond to the lawsuit, but it is clear that this case will have far-reaching implications for the network and the industry as a whole. As the #MeToo movement continues to gain momentum, it is essential that all companies take proactive measures to prevent and address sexual harassment and assault in the workplace.

De’Aaron Fox Rumors: ‘Serious Skepticism’ Spurs Would Trade Stephon Castle to Kings | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images
There is “serious skepticism” that the San Antonio Spurs would be willing to include rookie guard Stephon Castle in any deal involving Sacramento Kings star De’Aaron Fox.
“The Kings are known to covet the Spurs rookie guard who was taken fourth overall out of Connecticut in the NBA Draft last June, but there is serious skepticism in league circles that San Antonio will be willing to include him,” Amick wrote.
“If that’s ultimately the case, the Kings would have to determine whether there’s an acceptable pathway to doing the deal without him. That’s not the end of San Antonio’s considerations, either.”
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Tuesday that the Kings were “expected to open up talks to potentially deal” Fox prior to the Feb. 6 trade deadline. He also said Fox has a “target destination” in mind.
James Ham of ESPN 1320 reported that Fox’s preferred landing spot is the Spurs, and Amick noted that Fox’s preferred destination is “widely believed” to be San Antonio as well.
Amick also reported that “De’Aaron Fox’s agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, recently sent word that it would be wise for the Kings to move him now.”
If that’s the case, then the Spurs could have some leverage here in negotiations, especially with the deadline approaching in a week.
San Antonio certainly wouldn’t want to part with Castle, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft.
The ex-UConn star, who won a national championship in his lone year at school, has broken out recently with 18.0 points per game on 48 percent shooting over his last seven contests.
Of course, Fox is a star that San Antonio should pursue, especially given his reported interest in the team. He could be a game-changer for a team on the rise and form a great partnership with superstar Victor Wembyanama. He’s averaging 25.1 points, 6.2 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game this season and squarely in his prime at 27 years of age.
For now, Fox remains a King, but that could change within a week. It’s pretty clear, though, that Castle should be staying in San Antonio, which is a wise move for the Spurs given his potential.
The latest buzz in the NBA world is swirling around Sacramento Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox, with rumors indicating that the San Antonio Spurs may be interested in acquiring him. According to sources close to the situation, there is “serious skepticism” that the Spurs would be willing to part ways with promising rookie Stephon Castle in exchange for Fox.Fox, who has established himself as one of the most dynamic young guards in the league, would undoubtedly be a significant addition to the Spurs’ roster. His speed, playmaking ability, and scoring prowess would provide a major boost to a team looking to return to championship contention.
On the other hand, Castle has shown flashes of brilliance in his rookie season, displaying a smooth shooting stroke and impressive defensive instincts. The Spurs have high hopes for the young guard and may be reluctant to part ways with him in a potential trade for Fox.
As the NBA trade deadline approaches, it will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds. Will the Spurs ultimately decide to pull the trigger on a deal for Fox, or will they choose to hold onto Castle and explore other options? Stay tuned for the latest updates on this developing story.

#DeAaron #Fox #Rumors #Skepticism #Spurs #Trade #Stephon #Castle #Kings #News #Scores #Highlights #Stats #RumorsCan the Kings get the ‘Donovan Mitchell package’ in a De’Aaron Fox deal?
It was reported this week that the Kings are open to trading De’Aaron Fox, and the Spurs are the team at the top of his list. Both franchises could be under pressure to get a deal done, but how? Kevin O’Connor and Tom Haberstroh discuss what a trade package should look like in this excerpt from “The Kevin O’Connor Show” which has been edited for length and clarity.
Kevin: OK, we gotta talk about De’Aaron Fox.
What type of package should the Kings be looking for here? Picks, players? What path should they be going?
Tom: The Donovan Mitchell package. That’s the asking price. Ton of picks. They got Lauri Markkanen. They got Collin Sexton — he was a young, 24-year-old at the time of the deal. And they got the 2022 first-round pick, Ochai Agbaji, who was just drafted. So they got three firsts unprotected, two pick swaps, and Agbaji that was effectively another first-round pick.
Kevin: That’s a lot, Tom.
Tom: Three young players, three firsts and two pick swaps. Now that’s the asking price. That’s the benchmark for De’Aaron Fox. If you’re Sacramento, you say, look, a great young player, an All-Star who is the clutch player of the year. He’s under contract for next season. What is my incentive to move him right now? You’re going to have to come in with multiple first-round picks — at least three first-round picks — and a young player to build around.
If you’re the San Antonio Spurs and you have the opportunity to go get De’Aaron Fox, you obviously want to pair Victor Wembanyama with another star for this very reason we talked about last week. For the next three years, Victor Wembanyama is going to be paid $14 million on average — this season, the season after that, and the season after that. If you acquire Fox, you’re getting an All-Star-caliber player who plays downhill in the way that you’re so desperately needing — he’s one of the top drivers in the NBA, the San Antonio Spurs are a bottom-five driving team. This seems like a seamless fit.
Sacramento gets on the phone and says, “Alright, Stephon Castle coming our way and a couple of first-round picks. And you’re the Spurs and you’re like …
Kevin: No, no, I’m not giving you Castle. No.
Tom: What’s it going to take?
Kevin: I’m not giving Castle. Castle’s a nonstarter for me. I’m not giving him. I will not give him up in a Fox deal.
Tom: But if you’re Sacramento, that’s the price it’s going to take. You look at benchmark deals of All-Star players in their prime, and granted De’Aaron Fox has only been to one All-Star Game. Donovan Mitchell was a three-time All-Star, and was two years younger than what Fox is right now. He’s also under contract.
Kevin: More playoff success and experience on Mitchell’s side too. And a better player.
Tom: Yep, I think objectively a better player at the time of the deal than what Fox is now.
So if you lower that asking price, you’re like, all right, not three firsts and two swaps and three young players. But if the deal is Zach Collins and Keldon Johnson and five first-round picks, I don’t think Sacramento says no to that. It’s going to have to be that caliber of package, because the Spurs aren’t going to put Castle in a deal. Do they put Devin Vassell into a deal? I think you want Vassell around Wemby and Fox.
What does the trade package look like, KOC?
Kevin: I put out an idea on X earlier in the week. It was a three-way including Utah, coincidentally, sending John Collins and Collin Sexton to the Kings. Some of those San Antonio salaries you’re alluding to would then instead go to Utah, with picks going to the Kings, picks going to the Jazz, Fox going to the Spurs. I think the Kings would probably get more than I put in that deal.
But if I’m the Kings, I’d rather the heavy picks-based package, even if it means not getting the player incentives like you’re talking about with Lauri Markkanen and Collin Sexton going to the Jazz in that Mitchell deal.
Ultimately, the Kings are obviously under some pressure here. They have a player who hasn’t explicitly demanded a trade, but clearly they don’t feel confident he wants to be there long term. But they also have time, like you alluded to. He has another year on his deal. They could play this out. The team’s been playing really well lately. Maybe they go into the playoffs and they win a round, and Fox loves it there and he wants to re-sign and everything’s happy and good this summer. That’s the scenario the Spurs need to be afraid of here. Because it’s San Antonio. It’s not a big market. It’s not a place that stars really ever want to go. And they have an opportunity to go get a top player who wants to be there.
And this is the window. Like when will there be an opportunity again to get a star who wants to be on your team and a star that becomes available? I just look around the market. Who’s the next guy? Like you can dream about Anthony Edwards. You can dream about some of these guys for years from now, but there’s no guarantee that that guy is ever going to become available. And if he does become available it might not be in a situation where it makes sense for you to put the best offer on the table.
So the Spurs are definitely under pressure to make Victor Wembanyama happy, to try to maximize what this team can be when he’s on that rookie deal, and Fox might be the best shot that they can take. So they’re under pressure here as well to get something done.
Hear the full conversation on “The Kevin O’Connor Show” and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen.
The Sacramento Kings have a decision to make with their star point guard De’Aaron Fox. With his contract extension looming, there is speculation about whether the Kings should explore trading him in order to rebuild their roster.One potential trade scenario that has been discussed is the possibility of the Kings receiving a package similar to what the Utah Jazz got for Donovan Mitchell in a potential De’Aaron Fox deal. Mitchell was traded to the Jazz on draft night in 2017 in exchange for the rights to guard Donovan Mitchell, forward Tyler Lydon, and forward Trey Lyles.
The Kings would likely be looking for a similar return in a potential Fox trade, which could include a promising young player, draft picks, and possibly a veteran to help balance out the roster. However, it remains to be seen if any team would be willing to offer up a package of that caliber for Fox.
Ultimately, the decision will come down to whether the Kings believe they can build a competitive team around Fox or if they need to start fresh with a rebuild. Only time will tell what the future holds for De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings.

De’Aaron Fox Trade Talks, Spurs, Heat, Nets, 76ers, Hawks
Sarah Stier/Getty Images
With De’Aaron Fox having a destination in mind ahead of his 2026 free agency, the Sacramento Kings are listening to trade inquiries on their star point guard and have received numerous calls from teams with interest.
Before the latest news on Fox, Sacramento was trying to upgrade its roster by discussing trades with the Brooklyn Nets for forward Cam Johnson and the Utah Jazz for forward John Collins, league sources told HoopsHype. It’s unclear how Fox’s trade market will affect Sacramento’s discussions for Johnson and Collins.
Sacramento’s most consistent trade discussions had centered around Kevin Huerter, Trey Lyles, and future draft pick compensation, sources said.
The prevailing belief within league circles is that Fox is eyeing the San Antonio Spurs looking ahead toward his free agency.
The Spurs have max cap space for the summer of 2026 as Fox will enter unrestricted free agency.
San Antonio also has young assets in Devin Vassell and Stephon Castle, along with up to nine future first-round picks to dangle.
It’s also worth noting Fox’s wife, Recee, grew up in San Antonio.
With the Spurs outside the Play-In Tournament and franchise cornerstone Victor Wembanyama too good for any potential tanking towards the end of the season, it could be time for San Antonio to pair him with another star sooner than expected.
Another Texas team, the Houston Rockets, has also been linked to Fox.
If Houston exercises its $44.89 million team option on starting point guard Fred VanVleet for the 2025-26 season, he will be eligible for unrestricted free agency by the summer of 2026, when Fox also would hit the market.
The Rockets also have expiring contracts in Steve Adams ($12.6 million), Jeff Green ($8 million), Jae’Sean Tate ($7.57 million), and Jock Landale has a non-guaranteed $8 million salary for the 2025-26 season.
Former No. 3 overall pick Reed Sheppard was also highly coveted before the draft by various teams. Tari Eason and Cam Whitmore are other young, talented players who could thrive with bigger roles elsewhere. The Rockets also have several first-round picks they can dangle, including an unprotected 2027 first-round pick from Phoenix, which is after Kevin Durant is set to hit free agency.
To this point, however, the Rockets signaled a patient approach with its young core that currently holds the second-best record in the West.
The Miami Heat have also been linked to Fox since they have max cap space for the summer of 2026, and center Bam Adebayo was Fox’s roommate at Kentucky as the two have remained close since.
However, Miami doesn’t have much draft capital to dangle in trades. For now, Miami is focused on trading Jimmy Butler.
Lastly, the Brooklyn Nets have prominently been linked to Fox.
Brooklyn has the future max cap space and has up to 12 tradeable future first-round picks they can dangle to pivot in several directions looking ahead. Fox also played for Nets coach Jordi Fernandez, an associate head coach alongside Mike Brown during their time together in Sacramento.
While the Nets have significant trade assets and a clear connection to Fox on paper, acquiring him at the start of a rebuild in the middle of the season with no other stars around him and then having to pay him a max contract in the summer of 2026 doesn’t align with Brooklyn’s rebuilding plan coming into the season.
The latest NBA trade rumors are swirling around Sacramento Kings star point guard De’Aaron Fox, with several teams reportedly interested in acquiring the talented young player. Among those teams are the San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, and Atlanta Hawks.The Spurs, who are in need of a dynamic playmaker to lead their offense, have reportedly expressed interest in trading for Fox. With DeMar DeRozan’s future in San Antonio uncertain, Fox could be a perfect fit to take over as the team’s primary ball handler.
The Heat, who made a run to the NBA Finals last season, are also said to be eyeing Fox as a potential trade target. Miami has a strong core of players but could use a player like Fox to give them an extra boost in the backcourt.
The Nets, who already have a star-studded roster with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, are rumored to be interested in adding Fox to their lineup. Pairing Fox with Durant and Irving would give Brooklyn a formidable trio that could make them serious contenders for an NBA championship.
The 76ers, who have been looking to upgrade their guard play, are another team that has been linked to Fox in trade talks. With Ben Simmons’s future in Philadelphia uncertain, Fox could be a great fit to pair with Joel Embiid and help the team take the next step towards a championship.
The Hawks, who are a young and up-and-coming team in the Eastern Conference, are also reportedly interested in acquiring Fox. Atlanta already has a talented young core with Trae Young and John Collins, and adding Fox to the mix could make them a force to be reckoned with in the East.
It remains to be seen if any of these teams will be able to pull off a trade for De’Aaron Fox, but it’s clear that there is significant interest in acquiring the talented point guard. Stay tuned for more updates as the NBA trade deadline approaches.

The Sacramento Kings are reportedly considering trades for De’Aaron Fox. But according to the star himself, that isn’t because he has directly requested a trade.
“That’s their decision to make. I can’t tell them not to listen to offers or I can’t tell them to listen to offers,” Fox said Wednesday before the Kings’ game in Philadelphia, according to The Sacramento Bee.
Sacramento’s motivation does not appear to be rooted in a specific directive from Fox. Rather, the Kings are considering a move because of Fox’s reluctance to sign a long-term contract extension. He turned down an extension with the Kings over the summer, and with his 2026 free agency growing closer by the day, his exit is growing likelier ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline.
Fox, by all accounts, is focused on competing for championships. To that effect, he reportedly has a favored destination in mind: the San Antonio Spurs. There, he would partner up with ascending center Victor Wembanyama to create one of the best young duos in the Western Conference.
While Fox wouldn’t confirm that he is eyeing the Spurs, he did acknowledge that he has a preference in mind if he were to move.
“For sure, I think everybody has a preferred destination,” Fox said. “I think everybody has a preferred destination if they’re not in the place that — or if they’re not going to be in the place where they are in the moment. I think it’s natural.”
De’Aaron Fox landing spots: Spurs are the favorites, but Rockets, Heat among teams that also make sense

While the Kings control the situation for now, Fox has an uncommon degree of leverage as this situation plays out. The Spurs, barring something unforeseen, will have max cap space in the summer of 2026, so Fox will have the power to walk to San Antonio as a free agent if he so chooses. That is going to limit what other teams are willing to offer, as the possibility of losing Fox for nothing restricts his value. If the rest of the league views him as a rental, the Kings will have no choice but to deal with San Antonio at a price the Spurs dictate.
Still, it is rare for any trade request to come and go smoothly. Damian Lillard more or less told the league not to trade for him because he wanted to go to Miami. He wound up in Milwaukee. Jimmy Butler is doing everything in his power to get to Phoenix right now. The Suns have thus far been unable to complete a deal.
These sagas are complicated and messy. Fox may want to go to San Antonio, but until a deal is reached, other suitors have a chance to steal him away.
In recent weeks, trade rumors surrounding Sacramento Kings’ star point guard De’Aaron Fox have been swirling. And now, Fox himself has admitted that he has a preferred landing spot if he were to be moved before the trade deadline.According to sources close to Fox, the 24-year-old has expressed interest in joining the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been in need of a dynamic point guard for quite some time, and Fox could be the missing piece to their puzzle.
While the Kings have not publicly stated that they are looking to move Fox, the team’s struggles this season have sparked speculation that they could be open to making changes. Fox, who is averaging 20.6 points and 6.8 assists per game this season, would undoubtedly garner significant interest from teams around the league.
It remains to be seen if the Kings will entertain offers for Fox, or if he will ultimately end up in New York or another team that catches his eye. But one thing is for certain – the trade deadline is shaping up to be an interesting one for De’Aaron Fox and the Kings.
