The Sacramento Kings are expected to open trade talks for All-Star point guard De'Aaron Fox ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline, according to multiple reports. There is expected to be a robust market for Fox's services,

With the Kings turning their season around, ESPN’s Kevin Pelton gave them a B- midseason report card grade.

The Sacramento Kings got back on the winning track Monday in Brooklyn, avoiding their third straight loss against the lowly Nets and getting De’Aaron Fox to snap out of his recent slump.

De’Aaron Fox may soon be headed out of Sacramento. The Kings are “expected to open up talks to potentially” trade Fox ahead of the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania . Charania added that “it’s believed that Fox has a target destination in mind.”

The Sacramento Kings are opening up talks to move De'Aaron Fox before the trade deadline, with the San Antonio Spurs atop his list.

Through three quarters, the Nets trail the Kings just 80-78, but the fourth quarter saw Sacramento open up a 13-point lead with 4:05 left to play, essentially sealing the game for the Kings. Here are three Nets takeaways from Monday's loss to the Kings:

The timing of the news is interesting, given that the Kings have played their best basketball of the season over the past month, following the dismissal of head coach Mike Brown.

DeRozan scored 17 points in the third quarter as the Kings outscored the Warriors 37-20 to tie the game. Sacramento shot 57.7% from the field while holding Golden State to 40%. The Kings forced eight turnovers in the third, resulting in a 13-0 advantage in points off turnovers.

Nets : OUT: Bojan Bogdanovic (foot), Cam Johnson (ankle), Maxwell Lewis (tibia), De’Anthony Melton (knee), Cam Thomas (hamstring), and Trendon Watford (hamstring). QUESTIONABLE: Ben Simmons (back). Kings : OUT: Isaiah Crawford (G League), Colby Jones (G League), and Isaac Jones (G League).

The Nets are believed to be seeking two first-round draft picks or one pick and a top young prospect. The Kings seem to be unwilling to trade third-year forward Keegan Murray or rookie guard Devin Carter, so it might be difficult to get a deal done before the Feb. 6 trade deadline.
