De’Aaron Fox, the Sacramento Kings guard, found humor in a fan’s criticism of his recent actions amidst trade rumors swirling around him. The fan accused Fox of orchestrating the trade of former teammate Tyrese Haliburton and the firing of head coach Mike Brown, labeling it as the “I hate this franchise” trifecta. Fox responded with a subtle emoji, brushing off the fan’s remarks.
Currently, the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets are reportedly interested in acquiring Fox, making him one of the hottest names on the trade block. However, it was revealed by Yahoo! Sports’ Jake Fischer that it was the Sacramento Kings who initiated the trade discussions with Fox, rather than the other way around. Despite Fox expressing a preference for a trade in the offseason, the Kings took the lead in exploring potential deals.
When asked if he was the one who kickstarted the trade talks, Fox denied any involvement, stating that it was ultimately the team’s decision to entertain offers. Having been with the Kings since being drafted in 2017, Fox has been a pivotal player for the team, averaging 25.1 points and 6.2 assists per game this season.
As trade rumors continue to swirl around De’Aaron Fox, it remains to be seen where the talented guard will end up. Whether he remains with the Kings or joins a new team, Fox’s impact on the court is undeniable. Stay tuned for further developments in this evolving NBA saga.
