The Sacramento Kings will trade De’Aaron Fox

Much like the Timberwolves, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Sacramento Kings made a semi-reset move too. However, for the Kings, it will likely cost them the biggest name on their roster. And it may be the perfect storm for a De’Aaron Fox trade.

Fox has had somewhat of a disappointing season thus far and there has to be a decision made by the Kings sooner rather than later – do they firmly believe that Fox is a foundational player that can be built around.

Even though they believed that to be so before, I’m not sure that’s a foregone conclusion right now. If the Kings are going to trade Fox, I don’t think there’s a more ideal time than during the 2022 calendar year.
