The Kings would not only be flush with assets for the future, but would, at least, have a puncher's chance at acquiring one of the most valuable assets in the league right now: the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. That pick would give them the opportunity to select Cooper Flagg, one of the best NBA Draft prospects we've seen in recent memory.
The Sacramento Kings made a splash in the 2024 offseason, acquiring six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan via sign-and-trade with the Chicago Bulls. Pairing DeRozan with De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis was an incredible move on paper, but the Kings have had an underwhelming season.
The Sacramento Kings have revealed their asking price for De'Aaron Fox in trade discussions as trade rumors heat up.
“In this business, you have to put those emotions aside,” Fox said. “Obviously, everybody especially who were here during that long (postseason drought), and who was on this team when we made the playoffs, obviously that means a lot to everybody.
Domantas Sabonis had a double-double by halftime, De'Aaron Fox finished with one of his own and the Sacramento Kings rolled to a comfortable 123-100 home win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night.
Sabonis registered his eighth triple-double of the season Wednesday, but his 13 points were just two shy of a season low set during the Nov. 13 win over Phoenix. Over his last 10 games, the star big man has averaged 21.
Fox has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's road matchup with the Knicks with a thumb injury. Fox has been dealing with a pinky injury all season, so a new thumb injury could be a serious concern. Saturday's matchup against the Knicks, who are 29-16 on the season, will be a huge test for the Kings and could certainly use Fox's help.
Star, might not want to stick around to see what a post-Fox era looks like if the Kings trade their star guard.
Sabonis has been playing off the charts the past two seasons, but this year has taken his offensive game to another level. While Sabonis has shown he can dominate a game similar t
Assuming the Kings don't get an All-Star-level player in return for Fox, their current roster construction could begin to tumble. The Kings are built around Fox's speed and the playmaking ability of Domantas Sabonis. Without Fox pushing the tempo, the Kings rotation could quickly falter.
The Philadelphia 76ers are trending in the right direction, but they could have their hands full with Domantas Sabonis and the visiting Sacramento Kings when the teams square off Wednesday.
Domantas Sabonis had 21 points, 22 rebounds and 10 assists in his seventh triple-double of the season, De’Aaron Fox scored 30 points and the Sacramento Kings beat the Brooklyn Nets 110-93 on Monday night.
