De’Aaron Fox, point guard for the Sacramento Kings, might soon be traded to the Orlando Magic as per recent rumors. Although nothing has been confirmed by the team, this has not stopped numerous forums from discussing exactly this, including Greg Swartz from the Bleacher Report.
Currently, De’Aaron Fox and the Kings are ranked ninth in the Western Conference after winning 20 games and losing 19 so far in the season. In their most recent matchup, the Sacramento Kings took on the Chicago Bulls and won the game with an impressive 124-119. In that game, De’Aaron Fox led the team on the scoreboard with 26 points in total, grabbing nine rebounds and assisting thrice.
On the other hand, the Orlando Magic seem much better in fourth position in the Eastern Conference, with a 23-18 record. Still, the team could definitely use a hand in terms of offense which frankly needs all the help it can get.
“A 27th-ranked offense would quickly be fixed by adding Fox and his 26.7 points and 6.2 assists per game to a core with Banchero, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs and others,” Greg Swartz wrote for Bleacher Report.

If De’Aaron Fox were to really join the Orlando Magic, he would pair up very well with Paolo Banchero. As of now, Fox and the Kings are scheduled to take on the Milwaukee Bucks next up in the NBA season.
De’Aaron Fox Might Be Traded To Houston Rockets As Per Recent Rumor
Meanwhile, there is also another rumor going around that De’Aaron Fox might be traded to the Houston Rockets. Greg Swartz from the Bleacher Report not only indicated that De’Aaron Fox might fit in Orlando Magic’s roster but also remarked that he would be perfect for the Houston Rockets at this point.
The Houston Rockets are doing quite well at the moment, and are ranked second in the Western Conference after winning 26 games and losing 12 so far. In their most recent matchup, the Rockets played against the Memphis Grizzlies and won the game with a close score of 120-118.
While the Rockets are boasting a pretty talented squad, they still need a solid point guard if they want to win the championship. Bringing De’Aaron Fox in will seriously boost the team’s offense. In this season, De’Aaron Fox is averaging 26.6 points in each game, with 5.1 rebounds per matchup and 6.1 helpers in every clash played. With De’Aaron Fox, Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, Tari Eason and Dillon Brooks, the Houston offense will be a major powerhouse in the NBA.
