With respect to Chris Paul, who has done an admirable job as a veteran leader, the Spurs don't have their point guard of the future on the roster right now. They need a young pick-and-roll scorer who can run the floor with Wembanyama. There aren't many available targets that fit better than the 27-year-old Fox.

The NBA trade deadline has a new name and new teams. Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox would prefer to go to the San Antonio Spurs via a trade if he were dealt. The news comes from James Ham of ESPN 1320 in Sacramento. After Kings head coach Mike Brown was fired, it might be time for the franchise to try and rebuild.

Fox, who was an NBA All-Star and NBA Clutch Player of the Year in 2023, led the league in steals last season. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, there will be “ plenty of suitors ” for his services if he does become available on the trade market.
