Reports have stated that De’Aaron Fox would prefer to leave the Sacramento Kings for the San Antonio Spurs, but he won’t necessarily get his wish.
According to Brett Siegel, both the Minnesota Timberwolves and Toronto Raptors are “among the teams showing some level of interest in De’Aaron Fox.”
“Sources said other teams to inquire about Fox’s availability in Sacramento include the Minnesota Timberwolves and Toronto Raptors. A path to possibly landing Fox would be extremely difficult for the Timberwolves and is unlikely since they’d have to move Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels to get out of the second apron. McDaniels does have a lot of fans in the Kings’ front office, sources said,” Siegel said, per NBACentral.

Although the Timberwolves are interested in Fox, Siegel made it clear that they’d have a tough time getting him.
They would have to move the contracts of both Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels so they’d sit under the second apron and, according to Siegel, McDaniels is well-loved by the Kings’ front office.
Perhaps they could get another team involved in the trade if they are so hesitant about McDaniels?
The Raptors are another team that could create a deal for the Kings, but Sacramento will likely want a lot in exchange for their star player.
Whoever finally makes a trade happen will have to put a lot on the table or else the Kings will likely reject them.
It sounds like the Spurs are still the frontrunners to acquire Fox, but that could change quickly depending on how aggressive other front offices are.
The pursuit of Fox will only heat up over the next few days.
