The Miami Heat could enter the race to acquire Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox via trade this season or free agency next summer. "He played with Bam Adebayo [in college]," ESPN's Tim Bontemps said on the Brian Windhorst and The Hoop Collective podcast.
Assuming Miami considers Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro untouchable in Fox talks (as they should, especially if Jimmy Butler is soon leaving), the Heat’s package for Fox — in addition to a 2028 first-rounder — would be the following four players: Terry Rozier, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jović, and Kel'el Ware.
While Fox would work as a fit for a Heat roster lacking a significant contribution at point guard since the declining play and then trade a year ago of Kyle Lowry, that math at the moment appears beyond the Heat’s means, unless Butler is part of such an equation.
Regardless of whether the Sacramento Kings move De'Aaron Fox by the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline, they need to recognize this as an organizational pivot point.
