With the trade deadline now one week away, things have re-heated in the Kingdom surrounding De’Aaron Fox. The Kings’ franchise point guard was most recently linked to the New Orleans Pelicans, who, according ESPN Insider Brian Windhorst, are interested a “big-name guard” and have Swipa near the top of their list.
Windhorst also reported the Pels are also in pursuit of CJ McCollum and Eric Gordon, both of whom have been in trade talks throughout the season in various avenues.
So does a Fox-trade make sense for Sacramento? The notion that over the summer New Orleans was okay with parting ways with Lonzo Ball, as well as their trade of Jrue Holiday feels like an experiment that didn’t quite work out.
