Brooklyn Nets Are A Darkhorse Trade Candidate For This Star

January 29, 2025 by Last Word On Pro Basketball

Fire up your NBA trade machine because a superstar is on the NBA trade block. This NBA trade deadline has been highlighted by Jimmy Butler trade rumors and drama, but a new report by Shams Charania may make Butler the second-most coveted star at the deadline. Charania reported that the Sacramento Kings are opening up talks to listen to trade offers for their star De’Aaron Fox. Although the San Antonio Spurs have been announced as Fox’s preferred trade destination, expect multiple teams to take a shot at the superstar point guard. One team that is reportedly interested in Fox is the Brooklyn Nets. Let’s take a look at the recent De’Aaron Fox trade rumors and see if this Nets trade rumor has legs. 

According to multiple sources, if De’Aaron Fox leaves the Kings via trade, his preferred landing spot is the San Antonio Spurs. It could be an interesting couple of days in Sacramento.

Brooklyn Nets Are A Darkhorse Trade Candidate For This Star

De’Aaron Fox Trade Rumors

De’Aaaron Fox trade rumors have completely taken over the internet since Charania’s report that the Kings are open to trading him. What is a sad day for the Kings organization is an exciting one for many teams around the league. Fox is now the best talent potentially available at this NBA trade deadline. 

Unlike Butler, Fox has been known to be a consummate professional for his time in Sacramento. Trading for him is more enticing because he brings much less drama to the table than Butler. He is also just a better player. On top of that, Fox is under contract through the 2025-26 season and he is just entering his prime at 27 years old. 

The De’Aaron Fox-Brooklyn Nets Trade Rumor

Ian Bagley recently reported that the Brooklyn Nets have been monitoring the Fox trade rumors in Sacramento. So far Brooklyn Nets trade rumors have primarily been centered around them as a seller at the NBA trade deadline. That being said, the Nets are one of the teams with the most intriguing trade assets in the league. 

The Nets, per sources, are among the teams that view De’Aaron Fox as a trade target and have been monitoring the Fox situation in SAC. ESPN reports Kings are expected to listen to offers ahead of trade deadline but Fox has preferred destination. He is under contract through…

The Nets have tons of (potentially high-valued) picks they can put in a trade. Additionally, they also have a few intriguing young players that they could add to sweeten the deal. Cam Thomas, Nic Claxton, and Cameron Johnson are all fairly young and high-valued players. The Kings could be interested in adding them to their roster. They could get a third team involved and get even more draft capital for trading them. 

Can the Nets really get Fox?

If these De’Aaron Fox trade rumors are true, the Nets have to be a consideration as a trade partner for Sacramento. Their stockpile of picks and young players could create quite the package for the Kings to pivot and rebuild for the future. It would make the most sense though for Brooklyn to wait until the offseason to pull the trigger, and Sacramento shouldn’t be in a rush to deal Fox by the trade deadline.

Of course, the Spurs have their fair share of picks and young players to offer as well. As we’ve seen in the past, the Nets are never shy about taking big swings to bring stars to Brooklyn. For Fox, playing in New York could have some appeal. He has spent his whole career in the small market of Sacramento. The Kings will likely take their time when it comes to trading their franchise superstar, but keep an eye on the Nets are a real option for a Fox trade.
