According to NBA insider Sam Amick of The Athletic, the San Antonio Spurs and Sacramento Kings have discussed a De’Aaron Fox trade.  The Kings are not interested in trading for Jimmy Butler, who has requested a trade from the Miami Heat.
As the trade deadline nears, one league source says more than half of the league’s teams have inquired about the 27-year-old Kings’ star.
De'Aaron Fox and Jimmy Butler have been in trade talks, but it doesn't seem likley that they'll be traded for each other.
Fox is the new name on the market after sending signals he doesn't want to commit long term to the Kings. Meanwhile, Butler remains suspended as the Heat decide his future.
Speaking Wednesday on his Brian Windhorst and The Hoop Collective podcast (beginning at the 17:09 mark), ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst suggested that the Kings are not in the mix for Butler:
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that several teams have been reaching out to Kings regarding De'Aaron Fox ahead of 2025 NBA trade deadline
The Phoenix Suns could pull off a mega four-team deal that would include the Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs to acquire Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat.

The Miami Heat could pursue a massive four-team deal with the San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns.
The NBA trade deadline draws closer by the day, and as always, the transaction cycle remains headlined by the same small group of players. On Monday, the Miami Heat suspended Jimmy Butler indefinitely after he walked out of a shootaround upon receiving the news that he would be benched.
That’s because the Spurs — reportedly Fox’s preferred trade destination — currently have nine tradeable first-round picks that they can include in a deal to the Heat’s one tradeable first-round selection. San Antonio also has young talent such as Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell and others who it can add to any trade package for Fox.
