Trade Deal Sends De'Aaron Fox to Spurs and Zach LaVine to Kings
Less than a week after ESPN's Shams Charania reported that the Sacramento Kings were open to trading All-Star guard De'Aaron Fox, and that the San Antonio Spurs were Fox's desired destination, the two teams combined with the Chicago Bulls on a deal Sunday. This trade sends Fox to San Antonio and two-time All-Star Zach LaVine to Sacramento as his replacement.
Sunday's three-team trade features seven players and multiple first-round picks on the move. The Kings are receiving a pair of unprotected first-rounders, while the Bulls are getting back a protected pick this year which could have gone to the Spurs.
Now, how did each team fare in the trade and what implications could arise going forward, including the possibility of further moves before Thursday's trade deadline? Let's break down Sunday's trade from all angles.
