5) Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets have reportedly been monitoring De'Aaron Fox's situation in Sacramento, hoping to make a move for the star guard. While a move to Brooklyn is the most unlikely on the list, it's worth noting that Sean Marks has been aggressive on the trade market before. However, with Fox set to become a free agent in 2026, the Nets could be selling their future assets for a rental.

Top 5 Landing Spots for De'Aaron Fox Ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline
De'Aaron Fox made headlines on Tuesday after reports that the Sacramento Kings have made their star guard available for trade prior to the NBA trade deadline.

1) San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs almost immediately come to mind as the top landing spot for De'Aaron Fox. With the Spurs reportedly looking for a star guard to pair alongside superstar Victor Wembanyama, a fit between the two playmakers could almost immediately catapult the Spurs into a threat within the Western Conference. The duo of Fox and Wembanyama would add to the hype for stars considering a fit in San Antonio in free agency. Also, the Spurs have all the assets needed to get a deal done with the Kings.
2) Miami Heat
The Miami Heat are in a trade situation of their own, with disgruntled star Jimmy Butler requesting to leave South Beach. While Butler may not be fit in Sacramento, Pat Riley and the Heat could find a way to expand their blockbuster deal, which could finally land them the star guard they have desperately been seeking.
3) Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic are another team rumored to be seeking a trade to land a star guard to pair with Paolo Banchero. De'Aaron Fox not only fits the bill, but his fit in the Magic's system would make the young team a nightmare to defend.
4) Golden State Warriors
As the Dubs' championship window closes, the Golden State Warriors have reportedly been in the market for another star to pair alongside Stephen Curry. General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. struck out in potential deals over the offseason. Still, perhaps the chance to acquire De'Aaron Fox could lead to the Warriors finally making Jonathan Kuminga available for trade.
