De'Aaron Fox Trade: Spurs Acquire All-Star While Zach LaVine Heads to Kings
In a significant multi-team trade, De'Aaron Fox has been moved to the Spurs, fulfilling his preference, while Zach LaVine is joining the Kings from the Bulls.
The Sacramento Kings are finalizing a trade to send De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs in a multi-team deal that ships Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls to Sacramento, according to ESPN.
Summary of the Trade
- Spurs receive: Fox, Jordan McLaughlin.
- Kings receive: LaVine, Sidy Cissoko, three future first-round picks.
- Bulls receive: Zach Collins, Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter, their own 2025 first-round pick from Spurs.
This deal marks a new chapter for Fox after seven and a half seasons with the Kings, who have seen him guide the team to its first playoff appearance in 17 years during the 2022-23 season.
Fox joins a promising Spurs squad featuring rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama and aims to enhance their offensive capabilities. Meanwhile, the Kings are gaining an elite scorer in LaVine to partner with Sabonis and DeRozan.
However, this trade also reflects Sacramento’s apprehension about Fox potentially leaving without a proper sign-and-trade agreement as his contract nears its conclusion in 2026.
