“The Kings have received dozens of phone calls and offers in the last 30 hours since I reported this,” Charania said on SportsCenter. “But here’s the most important thing to know, I’m told the San Antonio Spurs, according to league sources, are De’Aaron Fox’s targeted, preferred destination. And San Antonio is among the interested teams in Fox.

“This is someone that has a massive market right now. He’s jumped to the top of the trade landscape ahead of the February 6th NBA trade deadline. He’s in the prime of his career. He’s a max contract player. These types of deals don’t happen overnight though. The Kings are going to have to balance potentially finding the best offer for him right now when he has a year-and-a-half left before his deal expires, or the inevitability of a trade in the offseason.

“And if you’re an interested team, like the Spurs are, and De’Aaron Fox might have the same interest in you, here is your chance to potentially get a game changer.”

Fox can become a free agent after next season. His agent, Rich Paul, reportedly told the Kings that he does not intend to sign an extension with the team.

The NBA trade deadline is February 6, a week from Thursday.
