Some NBA execs sensing opportunity after De'Aaron Fox turned down extension
All of the Kings’ struggles have caused some to wonder whether or not Sacramento may opt to become sellers instead of buyers at the trade deadline, and if maybe even Fox himself could be a part of those talks. “Last month, De’Aaron Fox turned down a $165 million extension. The assumption was that this was about next summer’s financial opportunity for Fox and nothing to worry about. Other executives aren’t so sure, and they’re ready to pounce,” reported NBA insider Matt Moore of Hardwood Paroxysm.Source: Clutch Points What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Houston is one of the scrappiest, most physical teams in the league.
Things got chippy early and the Kings didn’t back down. De’Aaron Fox closed the first half on a big run & then the Kings stepped on the gas in the 2nd half.
An outstanding, and desperately needed, performance. – 12:24 AM
