What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Seems like the more time passes, the less likely a De’Aaron Fox trade gets done before the deadline.
Nothing is completely dead, and things can happen quickly. But the Kings aren’t going to trade Fox for pennies on the dollar just to get something done before February 6th. – 6:40 PM

It doesn’t make any sense for this front office to trade De’Aaron Fox in a move that encourages patience. The likelihood of them seeing a long-term plan out is low to say the least.
The Kings are in the biz of winning now. So they’re looking for a piece to make that happen. – 4:34 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Rumor has it the Kings are still star hunting, meaning names outside of San Antonio, in a De’Aaron Fox deal.
Sounds like all eyes are on Sacramento right now. – 3:54 PM

I guess the San Antonio Spurs don’t even need De’Aaron Fox by the way some of y’all are talking about Stephon Castle & the Spurs not being willing to trade him.

Malik Monk sure looks ready to handle the primary point guard responsibilities for the Sacramento Kings if De’Aaron Fox is traded.
12 points, 3 assists in the 1st quarter tonight in Philly. – 8:08 PM

The Kings come out with a nice bounce in their step. They lead 9-3 after a De’Aaron Fox layup. – 7:44 PM

More on this storyline

“It’s noise,” Sabonis said. “I don’t think a lot of us are paying attention to the media as much. We don’t talk about it in the locker room. We’re just focused on winning, and Doug’s making sure we ignore that. “This is my ninth year in the league. If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen. It’s going to pop up on our phones. There’s no point in looking at it every second.” -via Sacramento Bee / February 1, 2025
Citing unnamed sources, News 4 San Antonio’s Dusty Garza tweeted Thursday that Ranadive was flying to Oklahoma City for a sit-down dinner with Fox, adding: “I’m told he’s on a mission to convince Fox to stay in Sacramento.” Fox said that meeting never took place when asked about it following the team’s morning shootaround as the Kings prepared to face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night at Paycom Center. “That wasn’t true,” Fox told The Sacramento Bee. “I haven’t talked to Vivek.” -via Sacramento Bee / February 1, 2025
