As trade season continues to roll along in the NBA, De'Aaron Fox is a new name that has popped up in the rumor mill. In the event the Sacramento Kings decide to move on from their star guard, the San Antonio Spurs are reportedly a team to watch.
Fox, 27, is in the midst of another All-Star-level season. Through 29 games, he is averaging 26.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.1 assists. For the Spurs, acquiring a player like Fox would give Victor Wembanyama a reliable running mate in the prime of his career.
With De'Aaron Fox earning $34.8 million, the Spurs will have to get creative with acquiring him. Any potential trade package would likely be centered around Keldon Johnson and Chris Paul. The Kings will still want to compete, and this could help them do so. Paul is on an expiring contract, giving them financial flexibility, and Johnson is an athletic forward on a rather team-friendly contract.
