Sources - De'Aaron Fox to Spurs, Zach LaVine to Kings in 3-team trade - ESPN
The Sacramento Kings are finalizing a trade to send De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs and acquire Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine as part of a three-team trade involving multiple draft picks, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Sunday.
The move gives San Antonio an All-Star guard to pair with young phenom Victor Wembanyama after Fox, who has one more year remaining on his deal after this season, had not shown a willingness to commit long term to Sacramento, leading to the Kings opening up trade talks for the franchise star in the past week.
In exchange for Fox, the Kings receive LaVine, in the midst of a career year at age 29; Spurs guard Sidy Cissoko; three first-round picks (2025 Charlotte pick, 2027 San Antonio and 2031 Minnesota); and three second-round picks (2025 Chicago, 2028 Denver and a return of their own 2028 second-round pick from Chicago).
The Bulls get back control of their 2025 first-round pick from San Antonio as well as three players: Zach Collins and Tre Jones from the Spurs and Sacramento's Kevin Huerter.
In addition to Fox, the Spurs receive Sacramento guard Jordan McLaughlin.
Fox, 27, is averaging just over 25 points per game to go along with five rebounds and 6.2 assists. He has played his entire eight-year career in Sacramento and ranks fourth in career points in franchise history. He helped the Kings snap a 16-year playoff drought in 2022-23, earning All-NBA honors that season.
Sacramento has been trying to return to the playoffs since that season but lost in the final play-in game last year and got off to a rocky start this season, leading to the firing of coach Mike Brown in December.
