Kings Consider Trading Fox as Extension Talks Loom
The Kings may consider trading De'Aaron Fox if he opts not to sign an extension, as concerns grow about his long-term future with the team.
Paul did not request a trade on his client's behalf, but he and Fox were "reading the room in Sacramento before deciding what comes next," according to reports from Amick and Slater.
However, "the Kings' beam isn't burning as bright as it was two seasons ago, when Fox and Domantas Sabonis led the group that broke the franchise's league-record playoff drought," as reported by The Athletic. The situation raises concerns about the possibility of Fox declining an extension again this summer. If he informs the team in advance of his intentions, it may prompt the Kings to explore trading Fox rather than risk losing him in free agency two summers from now.
