Title: Windhorst Predicts De’Aaron Fox Will Land Lucrative Contract with the Spurs in NBA Free Agency
Post:
ESPN insider Brian Windhorst has raised eyebrows with his latest prediction for the upcoming NBA free agency period. According to Windhorst, Sacramento Kings’ star point guard De’Aaron Fox is likely to sign a significant contract with the San Antonio Spurs.
Fox, known for his lightning-fast speed and impressive playmaking abilities, has been a rising star in the league and is expected to command a hefty payday in free agency. Windhorst’s bold prediction has sparked excitement among Spurs fans, who are eager to see Fox potentially join their roster and inject new energy into the team.
As the free agency period approaches, all eyes will be on De’Aaron Fox and the Spurs as negotiations unfold. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as Fox’s future in the NBA hangs in the balance.
Sacramento will also receive three first-round picks from San Antonio (Hornets’ 2025 first-round pick, top 14 protected, Spurs’ 2027 first-round pick; Timberwolves’ 2031 first-round pick) in addition to three second-round picks (Bulls’ 2025 second-round pick; Nuggets’ 2028 second-round pick; own 2028 second-round pick back) and Spurs wing Sidy Cissoko, according to ESPN.
The Bulls will receive forward Zach Collins, guard Tre Jones and the full rights to their 2025 first-round pick back from the Spurs, plus guard Kevin Huerter from the Kings. The Spurs will also acquire guard Jordan McLaughlin from the Kings.
Fox, 27, signed a five-year, $163 million designated rookie contract extension with Sacramento in 2021 and still has one year left on his contract, but the Kings decided to move on from Fox after it became clear he wasn’t going to sign another contract extension.
Fox now joins a Spurs team headlined by first-time All-Star and Defensive Player of the Year favorite Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs currently sit 12th in the Western Conference standings at 21-25, but Fox could help them make a late playoff push this year. They’re two games out of the final play-in spot as of Sunday evening.
The Kings selected Fox with the No. 5 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. In eight years with the Kings, Fox was voted an All-Star once and was named to the All-NBA Third Team for the 2022-23 season.
Fox averaged 21.5 points, 6.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game in 514 games with the Kings. He ended the 2023-24 season with the most steals in the league.
LaVine will help offset the loss of Fox for the Kings. He’s in the midst of a resurgent season, averaging 24 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.
The two-time All-Star has been rumored to be on the trade block for multiple years as he’s in the third year of a five-year, $215 million contract. The move will also reunite LaVine with former Bulls teammate DeMar DeRozan in Sacramento, where the duo hope to bring the Kings back to the playoffs. They sit in 10th place at 24-24 as of Sunday.
As for the Bulls, the trade marks a clear sign of the start of a rebuild. Chicago has been in the midst of another middling season, but has recently tailed off, falling to 21-29. It still sits in 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings, though the trade likely puts it in place to land the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, which is widely expected to be Duke star Cooper Flagg.

In a shocking turn of events, the Sacramento Kings have reportedly traded star point guard De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for shooting guard Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls.
This reported deal has sent shockwaves through the NBA community, as Fox has been a key player for the Kings since being drafted in 2017. The 24-year-old has shown immense talent and potential, but the Kings seem to be looking to shake things up with this trade.
On the other hand, Zach LaVine has been a standout player for the Bulls, averaging over 25 points per game last season. His scoring prowess could provide a much-needed boost for the Kings’ offense, while Fox’s playmaking abilities could greatly benefit the Spurs.
It remains to be seen how this reported trade will impact both teams, but one thing is for sure – the NBA landscape has just been altered in a major way. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was left furious after a foul by Chris Paul sent him sprawling during the fourth quarter of his Milwaukee Bucks’ 144-118 defeat against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday.
With the Bucks 20 points down and just under four minutes on the clock, Antetokounmpo was driving towards the basket, attempting to fend off the Spurs’ defense, when Paul appeared to push the Bucks star who tumbled over and immediately began gesticulating and shouting.
As he approached Paul, a small scuffle broke out between the teams, with security and coaches coming onto the court to intervene before officials called Paul for a common foul.
After the game, Antetokounmpo told reporters that “nothing” happened and it was just a “physical play,” before saying “I don’t know if I was tripped or I was pushed.”
When asked about his reaction, Antetokounmpo said “if you try me, you’re gonna get that different side of me.”
“At the end of the day, I think we’re all men. We all respect one another,” he added. “If words cross the line, then there’s got to be consequences. I really don’t say much. I don’t say much to start with, try to play the game the right way.
“But enough is enough. If I feel like you’re putting my livelihood, my career and my body in jeopardy in danger, enough is enough, brother. I have a family to feed, and what makes you laugh can also make you cry sometimes.”
Antetokounmpo had 35 points and 13 rebounds during the game but couldn’t secure the win for the Bucks who were undone by their leaky defense and a brilliant performance by Victor Wembanyama who had 30 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks.
The two stars duked it out from the very start of the game, with Wembanyama blocking two of Antetokounmpo’s shots in the first two minutes. Though Antetokounmpo was eventually able to unleash offensively, Wembanyama retaliated, sinking five three-pointers as he celebrated being named in his first All-Star reserves team.
It also marked Wembanyama’s sixth career game in which he posted at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks, the joint-second most by any NBA player in the last 20 seasons, per ESPN.
San Antonio will next take the court on Saturday to face the Miami Heat, while the Bucks will host the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, the reigning NBA Finals MVP, was left fuming after a heated altercation with Chris Paul during the Milwaukee Bucks’ recent loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
The scuffle between the two superstars occurred in the fourth quarter of the game, with tensions running high as both teams fought for the win. Giannis and Chris exchanged words and physicality, leading to a brief but intense confrontation on the court.
Despite Giannis’ best efforts to lead his team to victory, the Bucks ultimately fell short against the Spurs. The frustration of the loss, combined with the altercation with Chris Paul, left Giannis visibly upset and disappointed.
Fans and analysts alike were quick to weigh in on the incident, with many speculating on the cause of the confrontation and its implications for both players and their teams.
As the dust settles on this intense matchup, one thing is clear: Giannis Antetokounmpo is not one to back down from a challenge, and he will undoubtedly use this experience as fuel to come back stronger in the next game.

The trade deadline is just a week away (minus a couple of hours), and rumors are starting to swirl that the Spurs are in talks about a potential four-team trade that would ultimately bring Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox to San Antonio. One such source is Don Harris: the longtime sports anchor for News 4 San Antonio and someone who would certainly have a good ear within the organization.
Source: Spurs very active and perhaps close on complicated 4 team deal that would bring D’Aaron Fox to San Antonio. Stay tuned.
Harris also went on to remind everyone that most trade talks and rumors don’t happen, can fall apart anytime or end up being inaccurate, so don’t think this is a done deal, but it does seem like the negotiations are at least real.
I’ve done this a long time. 98% of the time NBA trade talks, rumors, scenarios, fall apart or are different than the stuff that agents, & GMs float or leak. So anything can happen. But folks are busy. Nothing done yet as far as I know.
What this deal may cost the Spurs and which other teams are involved remains to be seen, but an ESPN radio host out of Sacramento, Damien Barling, has added that it would not include Stephon Castle, which makes sense considering he is someone the Spurs seriously coveted out of last year’s draft and have high hopes for going forward. (It also goes without saying the Victor Wembanyama would not be included in any trade.)
Indications are the Spurs will not trade Stephon Castle in a De’Aaron Fox deal.
This leaves players like Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, Zach Collins and possibly even Chris Paul or Harrison Barnes to consider for salary-matching purposes (although the Spurs have the cap space to absorb some extra salary), and such a deal would also surely include some of the Spurs’ huge treasure trove of first round draft picks. Other factors to consider would be if Fox would be willing to sign an extension or re-sign with them in 2026 (word is he would) before considering what to give up for him.
All trade rumors should be taken with a grain of salt, and while this one is no different and complex enough that just one party backing out could bring it to an end, there’s certainly enough smoke out there to acknowledge it.
Rumor Alert: The Spurs are reportedly in talks for a blockbuster four-team trade that would land De’Aaron Fox in San Antonio!
According to sources, the Spurs are looking to shake things up and add a young, dynamic point guard like Fox to their roster. The trade is said to involve multiple teams, with the Kings, Pelicans, and Pacers also potentially involved in the deal.
Fox, who is known for his lightning-quick speed and playmaking ability, would be a huge addition to the Spurs backcourt. His scoring and passing skills could provide a much-needed boost to the team’s offense.
While nothing is set in stone yet, this rumor has fans buzzing with excitement about the potential of seeing Fox in a Spurs uniform. Stay tuned for updates as the trade talks progress! #GoSpursGo #DeAaronFoxTradeRumors
No matter what the San Antonio Spurs choose to do at the 2025 NBA trade deadline, there will be backlash. Rumored to be the frontrunner to acquire Sacramento Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox, San Antonio will either complement Victor Wembanyama with an All-NBA player in their prime or ponder what could’ve been.
Equal in importance to that decision is who the Spurs would be giving up to acquire Fox—and if Stephon Castle would be a part of the outgoing trade package.
Castle, 20, is arguably the most valuable player that San Antonio has on its roster after Wembanyama. A dynamic talent with clear two-way potential, the former Connecticut Huskies star looks the part of an invaluable talent who could develop along the same timeline as the franchise player.
Unfortunately, when an All-Star is being traded, the outgoing cost often includes players like Castle to help sweeten the pot—or even to simply get the other team on the line in the first place.
It’s rational to believe that the Spurs should bite the bullet, include Castle in their trade offer, and bring Fox to San Antonio. They’d have an All-Star in their prime running the offense and creating turnovers on defense, as well as one of the best fourth-quarter scoring threats in the NBA.
The rationally irrational decision that must take priority, however, is one that would ensure that Castle will remain in San Antonio, even if it costs the Spurs a trade for Fox.
Stephon Castle is too valuable for Spurs to give up on this soon
Let’s get the obvious part out in the open: There’s a high probability that Castle will never reach the level that Fox has comfortably sustained. It’s a high bar, as the 27-year-old has averaged 25.1 points and 6.1 assists, never once ranking lower than ninth in points per fourth quarter, over the past five seasons.
As such, it’s difficult to argue that the Spurs should avoid going all-in on Fox just because Castle might be able to develop into an impact player himself.
The reality of the modern NBA, however, is that teams need multiple point-of-attack defenders, playmakers, and shot-creators to contend—and there aren’t many players who check all three boxes. Castle may or may not become the borderline elite player that Fox is, but he has all of the tools to thrive in each of those three areas.
A 6’6″ and 215-pound perimeter menace with clear defensive potential, a championship pedigree, and the early ability to create for himself and others, Castle fits a rare archetype.
Even with his inconsistency as a shooter, it’s evident that Castle can be the proverbial Swiss army knife and thus a unique complement to the ultimate unicorn in Wembanyama. With Castle, the Spurs could have a player to task with defending an opposing team’s best perimeter scorer, no matter what position they play.
Perhaps he won’t give San Antonio 25.1 points and 6.1 assists per game, but he’s already taking a step forward that suggests he can get closer than some might presume.
Stephon Castle is already providing significant immediate value
Castle has scored at least 20 points in five of the Spurs’ past eight games. A five-game sample size may not be enough to deter San Antonio from trading him, but it’s worth noting that he’s dropped 20-plus against postseason-caliber teams in the LA Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, and Milwaukee Bucks.
Moreover, this appears to be more of a natural progression than a short-term display of quality, as Castle has been inching closer to finding his niche on offense throughout the season.
As a rookie on a team with postseason expectations, Castle is already proving that he’s up to the task of filling a key role. The Spurs are 0.3 points per 100 possessions better when he’s on the court than when he isn’t, which is a small but still impressive number considering he’s a first-year player.
Since Jan. 1, that number has grown exponentially, as the Spurs are outscoring teams by 1.0 point per 100 possessions with Castle on the court and are being outscored by 11.8 when he isn’t—a 12.8-point disparity.
If that seems absurd, know that you’re on the right track. The only player without whom the Spurs are posting a worse net rating since Dec. 1 is Wembanyama at minus-15.8.
Furthermore, the Spurs rank in the 67th percentile in net rating when Castle and Wembanyama are on the court together. Add Chris Paul to the unit and that three-man lineup is outscoring opponents by 4.8 points per 100 possessions and ranking in the 89th percentile in offensive rating—leaving one to optimistically imagine a scenario in which Fox plays alongside Castle rather than replacing him.
It may seem irrational to keep a rookie out of a trade for an All-NBA player, but if the Spurs trust their developmental capabilities, they’ll make Castle untouchable at the trade deadline.
The San Antonio Spurs are faced with a major decision when it comes to highly touted high school prospect Stephon Castle. Castle, a 6’5″ guard out of Newton High School in Georgia, is considered one of the top recruits in the class of 2023.
On one hand, Castle has the potential to be a game-changing player for the Spurs. His combination of size, athleticism, and scoring ability make him a tantalizing prospect for any team. However, there are also concerns about his decision-making and maturity, as he has been known to be a bit of a loose cannon on the court.
So, the question becomes: should the Spurs take a chance on Castle and potentially reap the rewards of his immense talent, or should they play it safe and pass on him due to his questionable character?
In this case, the rational decision may be to take a chance on Castle. While there are risks involved, the potential upside of adding a player of his caliber to the roster could be too good to pass up. Plus, the Spurs have a history of developing young players and instilling a strong team culture, which could help Castle reach his full potential.
Ultimately, the decision will come down to weighing the potential rewards against the risks and making a calculated choice. The Spurs must carefully assess Castle’s character and potential fit within the team before making a final decision. It will be a tough call, but one that could have a major impact on the future of the franchise.
The NBA trade deadline is nearing and rumors are spreading rapidly. With De’Aaron Fox likely on his way out of Sacramento as the Kings are looking for trade partners — the San Antonio Spurs are his requested destination.
The Spurs are an enticing trade location as Victor Wembanyama has the potential to be the most dominant player in the entire NBA, and opposing players might want to compliment him and share the floor with him.
For Fox, that’s the case as he wants to compete for NBA championships while making superstar-level money — which the Spurs might be able to provide.
One coveted young star the Kings might ask for in a trade is Stephon Castle, a 20-year-old rookie out of UConn.
Castle was the No. 4 overall selection in the recent NBA draft and holds a wealth of potential in the NBA. The Spurs value that as Wembanyama is incredibly young himself, and the duo could develop into a great tandem for years to come.

According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the Spurs value Castle greatly and consider him untouchable, unless two teams make a call. The ESPN analyst suggested that San Antonio could make the UConn product available for players like Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
“If there was a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Luka Doncic on the table, they might consider it. But I don’t know if De’Aaron Fox rises to that level… They may believe Castle will be comparable to Fox in a couple of years,” Windhorst said.
There is no reason to believe the Dallas Mavericks have a sliver of consideration in trading Donic. The Slovenian superstar is the club’s franchise talent, and he will continue to be treated as such throughout his prime years in the league.

Still, Windhorst used Doncic as an example as to how high the Spurs value the young guard, and that a player like Fox might not be worth moving on from such a young talent.
The San Antonio Spurs are known for their ability to develop young talent and build successful teams, but could they be willing to part ways with one of their promising young stars in order to acquire a player like Luka Doncic?
Doncic, the dynamic point guard for the Dallas Mavericks, has quickly established himself as one of the most talented players in the NBA. His combination of scoring ability, playmaking skills, and basketball IQ make him a valuable asset for any team.
While the Spurs have a strong core of young players, including Dejounte Murray and Lonnie Walker IV, they may see Doncic as a player who could elevate their team to the next level. With his ability to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates, Doncic could be the missing piece that the Spurs need to compete for a championship.
Of course, any potential trade for Doncic would come at a high cost. The Mavericks would likely demand a significant package of young players and draft picks in return for their star guard. But for a team like the Spurs, who are always looking to improve and compete at the highest level, making a bold move for a player like Doncic could be worth the risk.
Ultimately, only time will tell if the Spurs are willing to make a move for Doncic. But if they do, it could be a game-changer for the team and solidify their status as a top contender in the NBA.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Victor Wembanyama sat out the San Antonio Spurs’ game Saturday night against the Miami Heat because of an undisclosed illness.
Selected to his first All-Star Game as a Western Conference reserve Thursday, Wembanyama was ruled out 40 minutes prior to game time. He was out for the sixth game this season.
Wembanyama was hoarse during his postgame press conference Friday night after a 144-116 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.
“Allergies,” Wembanyama responded when asked if he was ill. “Since we came back from France, allergy has been hitting more than ever. Makes sense, but just since we came back, though, so it’s getting better.”
The 7-foot-3 center from France has battled allergies since arriving in San Antonio as the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA draft.
Wembanyama had 30 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks against the Bucks in leading the Spurs to their highest point total of the season. He’s averaging 24.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.9 blocks and 3.7 assists in 40 games this season.
In a surprising turn of events, Spurs star Victor Wembanyama was forced to sit out their game against the Miami Heat due to an undisclosed illness. The 18-year-old phenom had been a key player for the Spurs this season, averaging impressive numbers on both ends of the court.
Fans were left speculating about the nature of Wembanyama’s illness, as no further details were provided by the team. The absence of the young center was keenly felt on the court, as the Spurs struggled to contain the Heat’s offense without his defensive presence.
Despite the setback, the Spurs managed to put up a good fight against the Heat, with other players stepping up to fill the void left by Wembanyama. However, his absence was a reminder of how important he is to the team’s success and the impact he has had in his rookie season.
As fans eagerly await more information on Wembanyama’s condition and his expected return to the court, they can only hope for a speedy recovery for the budding star. The Spurs will undoubtedly be looking forward to having him back in action soon to continue making an impact on the court.
Victor Wembanyama was named to his first All-Star team Thursday night, one of 14 reserves selected to this year’s midseason showcase in San Francisco on Feb. 16.
Wembanyama, who turned 21 earlier this month, is averaging 24.4 points and 10.8 rebounds for the San Antonio Spurs in his second NBA season and is leading the league in blocks for a second straight year.
After narrowly missing out on one of the spots in the starting lineup for the Western Conference behind LeBron James and Kevin Durant, Wembanyama was an easy choice to lead the West reserves. The seven reserves in each conference were selected by a vote by the league’s coaches after a combination of fans, media and players determined the five starters in each conference.
It was the 11th selection for Harden, as well as the 10th for Davis, followed by the third for Edwards and second for Jackson. It was the first selection for Wembanyama, Sengun and Williams.
Lillard made it for the ninth time, while it was the fourth for Brown, the third for Siakam and the second for Garland. Mobley, Cunningham and Herro were first-time selections.
The coaches for this year’s All-Star Game will be Mark Daigneault from the Thunder and Kenny Atkinson from the Cavaliers. Because of the change in format this season, which has the 24 All-Stars broken up into three teams of eight-man rosters — plus the winning team from the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday night — one assistant coach from the Thunder and one from the Cavaliers will coach two of the teams.
In a stunning turn of events, young phenom Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs has been named as a reserve for the NBA All-Star Game. At just 19 years old, Wembanyama has taken the league by storm with his impressive play on both ends of the court.
Standing at an imposing 7’2″ with a 7’9″ wingspan, Wembanyama has quickly become one of the most dominant forces in the league. His shot-blocking ability, rebounding prowess, and offensive skills have made him a standout player in his rookie season.
Wembanyama’s selection as an All-Star reserve comes as no surprise to many in the basketball world, as he has been putting up eye-popping numbers all season long. With averages of 20 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game, Wembanyama has solidified himself as one of the top young talents in the NBA.
Fans are eagerly anticipating Wembanyama’s debut in the All-Star Game, where he will undoubtedly showcase his incredible skills on a national stage. With his combination of size, athleticism, and skill, Wembanyama is poised to be a perennial All-Star for years to come.
Congratulations to Victor Wembanyama on this well-deserved honor, and we can’t wait to see him shine in the NBA All-Star Game! #Spurs #Wembanyama #NBAAllStar
SAN ANTONIO — Victor Wembanyama sat out the San Antonio Spurs’ game Saturday night against the Miami Heat because of an undisclosed illness.
Selected to his first All-Star Game as a Western Conference reserve Thursday, Wembanyama was ruled out 40 minutes prior to game time. He was out for the sixth game this season.

The San Antonio Spurs faced off against the Miami Heat in a thrilling matchup, but one key player was notably absent from the court. Victor Wembanyama, the rising star and top draft pick, sat out the game due to an undisclosed illness.
Fans were eagerly anticipating Wembanyama’s performance, as he has been a standout player for the Spurs this season. His absence left a noticeable gap in the team’s lineup, and the Spurs ultimately fell short against the Heat.
The team has not provided any further details about Wembanyama’s condition or when he is expected to return to the court. Fans are hoping for a speedy recovery for the talented young player, as his presence on the court is truly missed. Stay tuned for updates on Wembanyama’s health and his return to the Spurs lineup.
