There is a sense among some rival executives that Fox remains gettable. Road losses in Boston and Atlanta by a combined 70 points this week haven’t done much to alter that perception.
What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Hawks Hater De’Aaron Fox not playing this game has made things easier. Well, after the first quarter anyway. – 9:01 PM

Kings, without De’Aaron Fox and having lost by 53 last night, have come out scrapping early. They’re up 18-13 halfway through the quarter. Davion Mitchell already has 10 points. – 7:47 PM

The Kings have ruled De’Aaron Fox out vs. the Hawks. He will miss his third game due to left ankle soreness. Rookie Davion Mitchell will make his second start of the season.

A little sneak preview of my conversation with Sam Amick, who discusses De’Aaron Fox’s diminishing value around the NBA, saying he hasn’t been “special” for the Kings, compared to other guys like Ja Morant.

Just wrapped up a podcast recording with Sam Amick. He had some interesting things to say about the pressure on Monte McNair, and why Tyrese Haliburton has more value around the league than De’Aaron Fox.
Pod dropping this evening! – 5:11 PM

More on this storyline
Several Kings players have heard their names come up in reported trade talks, including Fox, Haliburton, Holmes, Hield, Barnes and Marvin Bagley III. The organization would prefer to continue building around Fox and Haliburton, but even Fox admitted anything can happen before the trade deadline. -via Sacramento Bee / January 26, 2022
There has been a lot of talks recently about Simmons and the Kings, specifically when it comes to De’Aaron Fox, but there is no guarantee that a deal gets done despite Morey’s connection with Kings GM Monte McNair. Morey on that situation: I can tell you that for sure, there are deals with the Sacramento Kings that I think would work. Will those deals ever happen? I have no idea. Are there just trade deals with the Kings? Probably not. Is it multiple teams? Probably, but for sure there are deals that are possible that would go over our line. -via Sixers Wire / January 20, 2022
