De'Aaron Fox traded to Spurs in 3-team deal

The San Antonio Spurs have acquired All-Star point guard De"Aaron Fox in three team trade. According to Shams Charania here are all the pieces: The San Antonio Spurs receive De'Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin. The Sacramento Kings end up with Zach LaVine, Sidy Cissoko, plus three first round picks (2025 CHA, 2027 SAS, 2031 MIN), and three second round picks (2025 CHI, 2028 DEN, 2028 own back). The Bulls receive Zach Collins, Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter, and their own 2025 pick back via the Spurs. Lavine reunites with former Bulls teammate DeMar Derozan in Sacramento, but the first round picks the Kings also obtained shouldn't be ignored. Sucks to downgrade from Fox to Lavine, but Zack is actually having quite the bounce back year and again at least they also received some valuable first round picks. Ok I take back the praise I gave the Kings for the 1st round picks. This above fact makes the trade much less appealing for Sacramento and better for San Antonio.

The main get for Chicago is the return of their own first rounder. Expect the Bulls to trade Nikola Vucevic before the deadline and go full tank mode the rest of this season.

This is of course the second blockbuster trade of the day. Early this morning the Mavs traded their young superstar Luka Doncic to the Lakers:
