In a recent tweet, NBA insider Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson revealed that veteran point guard Chris Paul would like to team up with De’Aaron Fox in San Antonio.
This potential move has sparked significant interest across the league, as the San Antonio Spurs look to solidify their playoff aspirations.
Currently sitting 10th in the Western Conference with an 18-18 record, the Spurs have shown improvement this season after finishing at the bottom last year. Adding a dynamic player like Fox could provide the missing piece to push the Spurs into the playoff picture.
Though Fox has not actively requested a trade from the Sacramento Kings, speculation surrounding his future has intensified. Rival teams, including the Spurs, are monitoring the situation, with the possibility that Fox could become available soon. While Fox’s availability is still uncertain, the Spurs have been linked as one of the most serious suitors for the talented point guard.
The Spurs’ interest in Fox is reportedly the strongest among all teams, with sources indicating that San Antonio sees a potential fit between Fox’s skill set and their young roster. Fox’s ability to score, create plays, and defend has made him a coveted asset, and his addition could help elevate the Spurs’ chances of making a deeper playoff run.
Despite the buzz around a potential trade, insiders suggest that it is more likely Fox will remain with the Kings until the offseason. Sacramento has made it clear they are committed to building around Fox for the long term and are not entertaining trade inquiries at this time. However, the possibility of a summer trade is still on the table.
Along with the Spurs, other teams like the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers are also monitoring Fox’s situation. The Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets have emerged as additional potential suitors, intrigued by Fox’s scoring ability and all-around play.
Fox’s current contract status also plays a role in his potential trade value. With his contract running through 2026, any team that acquires him would have the advantage of securing a long-term solution at point guard.
Fox is having an outstanding season, averaging 26.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game while playing over 37 minutes per contest.
