Two more NBA All-Star guards are switching teams in the wake of all the Luka Doncic craziness.

The Sacramento Kings are “finalizing” a trade that would send De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs to pair with Victor Wembanyama. In return, the Kings are set to receive All-Star Zach LaVine in a three-team deal involving the Chicago Bulls. The Kings are also reportedly getting three first-round picks in the exchange.

Unlike the Doncic deal, this was a trade that NBA observers saw coming. Reports emerged earlier this week that the Kings would make the All-Star available in trade talks. San Antonio was rumored to be Fox’s preferred destination.

Fox’s current contract extends up until the 2025-26 season. Expect the Spurs to negotiate an extension with the Kentucky product sooner rather than later.

The 27-year-old projects as an ideal co-star next to Wembanyama. The lightning-quick guard has averaged 25.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.1 assists across 45 games this season.
