The Jimmy Butler saga has loomed large over the upcoming NBA trade deadline, but Tuesday brought truly shocking news that may unseat him.
The Sacramento Kings are open to receiving trade calls for All-Star point guard De’Aaron Fox, according to multiple reports. There have been rumblings this season Fox wasn’t happy with the direction of the franchise; after snapping a 17-year playoff drought in 2022–23, the Kings missed the playoffs last season and got off to a bad start this season. Things evened out following the firing of coach Mike Brown, and there had been little to suggest Fox might be on the move.
