Grading Fox de’Aaron trade at 3 teams: how did the Spurs made to get Victor Wembanyama a certain help?

As if the NBA weekend was not crazy enough, Sunday evening was to end with a last gift from a three-team job.

The San Antonio Spurs landed the former star of the stars of’aaron Fox without abandoning Stephon Castle or the choice of first round in 2025 in Atlanta that they own.

The complete trade is as follows, by espn::

• Spurs Acquire: De’Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin

• Kings Acquire: Zach Lavine, Sidy Cisso, three first round choices (2025 by Charlotte, 2027 from San Antonio and 2031 of Minnesota), three second round choices (2025 from Chicago, 2028 from Denver and its selection in 2028).

• Bulls acquire: Zach Collins, Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter and their own choice in 2025 that San Antonio held

Spurs: A +

Spurs leave as major winners here. Yes, they abandon an important equity project, including a selection they received from Minnesota last year in the trade of Rob Dillingham, which could have had juice on the line.

But given that they always have the castle and still have a chance for a choice of high lottery via Atlanta, they have really abandoned anything major substance.

Fox intervenes as a new team’s playmaker in what will probably be a double role with Chris Paul, because the latter takes more rear siege in the development of Fox and Victor Wembanyama.

Fox and Wembanyama will prove a difficult match from the jump, especially offensively, and this addition could even lead them to make a real push in the 2025 qualifiers.

What a transport for spurs on it.

Kings: a

As we go to Sacramento, it is important to note the context here. The Kings have obtained the second best shopping player – Lavine – who has become incredibly underestimated in recent years.

Lavine was a frequent name linked to kings, until they take a step for another bull – Demar derozan – the last off -season.

The idea of ​​Lavine made sense with Fox in the team. And since Lavine has often fought next to Derozan in Chicago, there will be folds again to repel.

That said, the Kings have also received remuneration transport, which means that the collective return is quite good. The acquisition of a super efficient 24 -point scorer, as well as numerous recovery selections for the coming years, is a victory in its own right, especially since their back was against the wall in the Fox situation.

It is impossible to pass under a solid S on it in terms of value received. If the Kings do not strike some of these choices, however, this note probably changes. But for the moment, the Kings have left.

Bulls: D-

As for the Bulls … Well, if you have two winners in a three -team business, there must surely be a loser.

The Bulls obtained their own choice, which the Spurs had with the protection of the top 10, and not much else. Zach Collins, Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter are all … well but completely not very spectacular.

In many ways, the Bulls failed to recover a solid asset for the second best shooter in the history of the team. It is not surprising, given how breathtaking they were in negotiations with other teams.

This has meaning in the world that kings and spurs, which have both treated with Chicago in recent years, wanted to include the Bulls in this arrangement to, finally, remove them.

The only reason why it is not a full F is due to the fact that the Bulls now control their own fate in the 2025 draft and were simply aggravated. If Cooper Flagg falls in their place, this would be largely due to this business.
