Techton transformation Luca Densic Trade It was sufficient to calm all the whispers of transactions elsewhere for about 24 hours, but Sunday evening, word Start nominate Doncic will not be the only star that moved the American Professional League star during the weekend, and that De’aaron Fox was about to grant his trade request.
Then this happened, with Fox heading to His favorite destination in San Antonio SpearsZach Lavin ends up with kings, bulls … well, mostly from Lavin’s contract, but also get the first round of Sacramento so that they can go safely this season.
Shams Charania from Espn and Sam amick of Athlete They were first in the news:
Full trade:
Spears: Diarun Fox, Jordan McLeulin
Kings: Zach Lavin, Sidi Cisoko, three choices of the first round (2025 cha, 2027 SAS, 2031 minutes), three options for the second round (2025 Chi, 2028 den, 2028 Own Back)
Bulls: Zach Collins, Tree Jones, Kevin Hearter, choosing their 2025 via Sas https://t.co/ugwylcuyao

Fox sending a pairing with Victor Wembanyama was important enough, but the price that the kings were able to extract calm MAVS lovers Those who are upset About returning Their team got Doncic yet (mostly) Just shopping for him to Los Angeles Lakers.
Why? Well, stop temporarily, take a second to evaluate what is going in this deal above. Did you calculate the choices? Since those who have a basic understanding of mathematics in elementary schools may notice something from entertaining: kings were technically able to get more first round (three) choices for De’aaron Fox more than MAVS that Doncic got (one).
Now, there is of course a context of this reality. Kings takes a contract of Lavine (with two years and about $ 100 million after this season) and moved from the best player in trade, to say something about the fact that they no longer return any players anywhere near the caliber Anthony Davis, who got MAVS in the Doncic deal.
Also, the choices are not completely distinct options, and one may not transfer, such as the Matt George from ABC10 in Sacramento and closed to the kings:
The first three -round kings of Tottenham … not great.
2025 Charlotte Choose the highest 14 reserves. Hornz is 4 worse in the American Professional League this season.
The choice of 2027 Spears will not be great unless the Wemby/Fox team failed completely.
Choose 2031 T-Wolves far.

A few people of the team indicate this matter: Choose the first round of Charlotte 2025 that Sacramento lands from San Antonio is the 14 best reserves-not mainly transferred, and will instead become 2026 and 2027 Cha SECONDS. Kings * really * got the first two.

But still, even if Charlotte does not transfer one, “The Kings got more Fox more than the MAVS that Luka has” will always be a funny and technical correct statement, and perhaps a future answer in one of the US Professional League -Trivia Barbas games .
