Fox: No trade request was made, and I have an ideal destination in mind

De'Aaron Fox confirmed Thursday that his future with the Sacramento Kings is unclear.

According to a recent report by ESPN, the Sacramento Kings intend to trade their star player, 27-year-old point guard De'Aaron Fox, before the trade deadline. Shams Charania made it clear that this player is currently attracting widespread attention in the trading market, and his trading value has risen rapidly before the NBA trade deadline on February 6. "

Shams Charania went on to point out that Fox's preferred destination is the San Antonio Spurs, but the Spurs will face huge competition. If Charania's news is true, the Kings have received "dozens" of calls about Fox and may have received some attractive offers.

In the face of many trade rumors, Fox responded in an interview with the Sacramento Bee before the game against the 76ers today: "The decision on the trade is in the hands of the Kings, and I can't interfere." When asked if he took the initiative to ask for a trade, Fox denied it: "No. If I asked, you would know."

Fox also confirmed to the Sacramento Bee that he already has a favorite next team: "I think everyone has a dream place to go - if they are not with the current team or have no intention of staying. I think it's a natural thing."

Fox averaged 25.1 points, 6.2 assists and 5 rebounds per game this season, helping the Kings to rank 10th in the Western Conference with a record of 24 wins and 23 ties. The prospect of him joining forces with Spurs star Victor Wenbanyama is exciting, but it is still in the hypothetical stage. The Kings management will continue to answer calls while seeking the most favorable trade offer.
