Spurs Positioning To Trade For De'Aaron Fox
12/21/2024 03:27 PM
If De'Aaron Fox were to ever become available by the Sacramento Kings in a trade, sources tell The Athletic that the San Antonio Spurs are positioning themselves to enter the bidding. Fox is a native of Houston and the Spurs have a long-term need at point guard.
The Spurs currently have seven tradable first round picks and also a number of second round picks. San Antonio and Sacramento recently did business on a DeMar DeRozan sign-and-trade with the Spurs taking on the salary of Harrison Barnes with a 2031 pick swap.
There could be other teams who enter the bidding should Fox become available. Fox cannot become a free agent until 2026 and is represented by Rich Paul.
Fox was an All-Star and All-NBA Third Team selection in 2023. This season, Fox is averaging 26.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 37.2 minutes over 28 games in his 26-year-old season.
