**San Antonio, TX –** In a stunning turn of events that shook the NBA, the Sacramento Kings, San Antonio Spurs, and Chicago Bulls executed a seven-player, seven-pick trade on Monday, sending All-Star point guard De’Aaron Fox to the Spurs. The deal, first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania, pairs Fox with the burgeoning superstar Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio.

The trade also sends Zach LaVine to the Kings, reuniting him with former teammate DeMar DeRozan. Kings forward Kevin Huerter is also headed to Chicago as part of the complex deal. Multiple draft picks are also involved in the exchange.

Fox, a proven All-Star averaging 25 points, 6.1 assists, and 5 rebounds per game this season, will now play alongside Wembanyama, the reigning Kia Rookie of the Year and a Defensive Player of the Year contender. The Spurs managed to acquire Fox without sacrificing key young players like Stephon Castle, Jeremy Sochan, and Keldon Johnson, or their considerable draft pick holdings.

For LaVine, the move represents a fresh start in Sacramento, where he’ll join a team featuring Sabonis. LaVine, a two-time All-Star, is averaging 24 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists this season. Huerter will also get a chance to revitalize his career after a season of limited playing time in Sacramento.

The trade comes on the heels of another blockbuster deal sending Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers, making this one of the most significant trade weekends in NBA history. The impact of this three-team trade is expected to significantly reshape the playoff race in the Western Conference.
