The San Antonio Spurs have landed De’Aaron Fox from the Sacramento Kings in a three-team trade. As part of the deal, Zach LaVine is headed from the Chicago Bulls to the Sacramento Kings.
The trade also sends Jordan McLaughlin to the Spurs. Sacramento, in exchange, receives Sidy Cissoko and six total draft picks – three firsts and three seconds. The Chicago Bulls come away with Zach Collins, Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter and the rights to their previously top-10 protected 2025 first-round pick, which was held by San Antonio.
The Kings’ incoming first-round picks are the 2025 Charlotte Hornets pick (top-14 protected), the 2027 Spurs pick (unprotected), and the 2031 Minnesota Timberwolves pick (unprotected). Additionally, the Kings will receive the Hornets’ 2025 second-round pick, the Nuggets’ 2028 second-rounder, and the rights to their own 2028 second-round pick.
The Spurs’ acquisition of Fox is a big move. Victor Wembanyama, last season’s Rookie of the Year, is making his way toward superstardom. He’ll be making his first All-Star appearance later this month, is one of the top candidates for Defensive Player of the Year, and will likely get MVP votes as well.
