Kings making De’Aaron Fox, Tyrese Haliburton available in the right deals
Use the Kings as an example. Sacramento is now reportedly open to making De’Aaron Fox and/or Tyrese Haliburton available in the right deals, and those aren’t equal propositions for Philadelphia. In all likelihood, sources say, a deal involving Fox would almost certainly have to be a three-team deal, moving Fox to another party in order to get what the Sixers think they need.

Tyrese Haliburton on losing another game to a team without their best player(s):

De’Aaron Fox posts his fifth 30-point game of the season, but the Kings come up short in a 122-114 loss to the Lakers. Bizarre ending to this one. Really weird stuff. – 12:56 AM

De’Aaron Fox is one of a few players who can start a drive from beyond the arc with 2 seconds on the shot clock and its plenty of time. – 12:40 AM

Camera has caught De’Aaron Fox communicating a lot with his teammates tonight. Showing the leadership (without screaming and yelling) you want out of your top guy.
He’s also balling tonight. – 11:59 PM

More on this storyline
More specifically, sources say Kings owner Vivek Ranadive has continued to make it clear to McNair that he has the green light to do whatever is necessary to meet those goals. And while the Kings would prefer to keep building around De’Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton, their strong appetite to improve means that no player is off the table in terms of potential talks. -via The Athletic / January 5, 2022
Tim Bontemps: I think it was widely going into the season, ‘De’Aaron Fox is off the table’. I’ve heard a lot of smoke that might not be the case at this point. -via Spotify / December 18, 2021
The Kings are at a crossroads yet again, with a new interim head coach, a relatively new GM, and a lot of players with uncertain futures. GM Monte McNair drafted two guards in consecutive drafts (Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton) despite having De’Aaron Fox on the payroll, which suggests to executives around the league that Fox will be his main piece for a big move. -via The Ringer / December 7, 2021
