NBA Trade Rumors De'Aaron Fox To Magic, Nets Or Heat

De'Aaron Fox's recent brain fart in Game 4 of the Spurs' crushing loss to the Knicks has made him the least popular man in South-Central Texas. The incident, where Fox grabbed a loose ball instead of forcing the Knicks to foul, greatly helped pave the way for New York to break its decades-long title drought.

With Fox's value at an all-time low, it seems that no team would be interested in swinging a deal for the two-time NBA All-Star. However, for many savvy GMs, this represents a perfect buy-low scenario for a player who averaged 18.6 points and 6.2 assists this season.

Adding some fuel to speculation that the Spurs could move on from Fox is the news that Fox apparently unfollowed the Spurs on Instagram.

Below, we will take a look at three teams that could be interested in making a move for the 28-year-old.

De'Aaron Fox to Magic? The Magic and Spurs could be potential trade partners in the next few years, as former Spurs associate head coach Sean Sweeney has taken the job to lead Orlando's bench.

Orlando has a need at point guard to take some of the playmaking and scoring load off of Jalen Suggs.

The Magic may be willing to part with the likes of Franz Wagner this off-season as the team looks to make Paolo Banchero the centerpiece in its roster re-construction.

De'Aaron Fox to Nets? The Nets are expected to be active in the trade and free agent markets this summer, and the most likely player that they could ship out is Michael Porter Jr.

Porter Jr. will likely become a trade candidate if he and the team cannot agree to contract extension terms.

Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez also has a tie to Fox, as Fernandez was associate head coach in Sacramento from 2022-2024, where Fox was playing.

De'Aaron Fox to Heat? Heat president Pat Riley seems intent on making one last blockbuster trade or free agent splash before he calls it a career.

Miami has been heavily brought up in the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes in recent weeks.

If Giannis is traded, it's expected that multiple teams will get in on the action as part of a multi-team deal to make the financials work.

Could the Spurs become a facilitator in a blockbuster in hopes of dumping Fox's contract?

Riley is in desperate need of an All-Star level creator at point guard, with or without Giannis coming to town, and Fox certainly fits the bill.
