The Kings are wrapping up a three-team trade that will send De’Aaron Fox to the Spurs and bring the Bulls’ Zach LaVine to Sacramento, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The reported move in Sacramento comes in light of concerns about Fox’s long-term commitment to the Kings, leading the team to trade him rather than risk losing him for nothing in 2026.
A Three-Way Deal
- Spurs: Get De’Aaron Fox, Jordan McLaughlin
- Kings: Get Zach LaVine, Sidy Cissoko, three first-round picks (2025 Hornets, 2027 Spurs, 2031 Timberwolves), three second-round picks (2025 Bulls, 2028 Nuggets, 2028 own pick back)
- Bulls: Get Zach Collins, Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter, their 2025 first-round pick back
Fox joins Victor Wembanyama on the Spurs, a move that should bolster San Antonio’s backcourt.
In Sacramento, the hope is that LaVine is a good fit with players like Domantas Sabonis—while there’s no telling how valuable the draft picks will turn out to be.
The Bulls, who have reportedly been looking to move LaVine for more than a year, finally unload his contract and get their 2025 pick back. And this could spell even more changes in Chicago.
The three-way deal comes on the heels of Saturday night’s stunning blockbuster trade that sent Luka Dončić to the Lakers and Anthony Davis to the Mavericks, adding even more drama to the NBA season with the Feb. 6 trade deadline approaching.
