De’Aaron Fox trade rumors: Kings Guard’s 3 best landing spots ranked


The Sacramento Kings have been actively involved in every trade rumor (at least it feels) ahead of this year’s Feb. 10 deadline, with point guard De’Aaron Fox being the team’s most valuable asset.

Linebacker Tyrese Haliburton is the cornerstone of the organization, while Harrison Barnes, Richaun Holmes and Buddy Hield are all thought to be available at some point.

As everything seems to be on this team, trade rumors are random, messy, and seem to come from anywhere.

But if the Kings want to shine on the deadline, Fox is the best way to make it happen.

If the team decides to let him pack in the next few weeks, here are three players who would be best suited for one of the best point guards in the NBA.

Cross Country Tour to Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks

By acquiring Cam Reddish from the Atlanta Hawks, the Knicks made themselves a buyer early in the process.

However, swooping in to catch Fox will be a different color horse.

Even in a sluggish season compared to 2020-21, the Kentucky product is still putting up 21 points, more than five assists and more than one steal per night. He shot 46 percent from the field on 17.2 attempts.

New York’s point guard has been… lacking a good way to put it. Kemba Walker had a terrible year and was benched at one point, and he’s the team’s leading scorer at that position, averaging 13 points in 28 games.

Derrick Rose played fewer games (26) and scored fewer points per night than Walker.

fox will be a important Upgrade everything the Knicks have. In effect, he’ll be an upgraded version of everything the Knicks have.

Surprisingly comprehensive addition to the Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers continued to soar. They’re 8-2 in their past 10 games and 30-19 this year.

That puts Cleveland in third place in the East, just 1.5 games behind the No. 1 spot.

With the combination of Rookie of the Year favorites Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen and Lauri Markkanen, the Cavaliers have three legal 7-footers that lead to the league’s second-best defense.

However, the team is only 22nd in scoring and misses out on one of their best offensive talents, Collin Sexton, who has yet to play this year.

Darius Garland is a bastion in the backcourt, and while Kevin Love’s career is recovering, he can make a difference on offense. But to get a legitimate title, the Cavaliers need more offense.

With Sexton by his side, Garland proved he has the skills needed to play off the ball. He and Fox would theoretically be in the same backcourt.

Adding a dynamic point guard to Cleveland’s starting lineup would make the Cavaliers more likely to be a threat in the East.

Here we arrive at the most talked about destinations.

Philadelphia 76ers general manager Daryl Morey has been stubborn about not swapping his former team point guard for another star.

He clearly doesn’t think Fox is that kind of guy, but he’s also publicly stated that he’ll make a deal with the Kings, according to the Sacramento Bees.

Now, Sports Talk Philly is reporting that Sacramento has decided to end their “hunt” for Simmons. But with the Kings, expect the unexpected, even if you hear don’t expect the initial expectations.

*shrugs* Kings, am I right?

Still, Big Ben would make sense as a player in the West, and the fifth-year point guard would definitely be included in such a deal. So if it does come to fruition, the Sixers would definitely be Fox’s destination.
