Per the report, Fox was shipped out by the Kings along with Jordan McLaughlin, who is also joining the Spurs. Sacramento will receive Sidy Cissoko from San Antonio and a massive haul of draft picks, while Kevin Huerter, Zach Collins and Tre Jones are all headed to Chicago.
The Bulls also get their own 2025 draft pick back from the Spurs, according to ESPN.
Three first-round picks (one in 2025, one in 2027, one in 2031) and three more second-round selections (one in 2025, two in 2028) are headed the Kings’ way.
Fox, 27, has averaged 25.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 45 games (all starts) this season. He made his first and only All-Star team during the 2022-23 campaign and was also named Clutch Player of the Year that season.
LaVine, 29, missed the Bulls’ 127-119 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Sunday due to personal reasons. He is averaging 24.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists this season.
Former teammate DeMar DeRozan awaits LaVine in Sacramento. DeRozan was with Chicago for three seasons (2021-22 to 2023-24).
The trade caps one of the more chaotic 24-hour spans in NBA history following Saturday night’s trade sending Luka Dončić from Dallas to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis.
