The Houston Rockets don't intend to join the De'Aaron Fox trade sweepstakes after the guard reportedly requested a trade from the Sacramento Kings.

The Houston Rockets appear unwilling to trade for Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox, a stance that could haunt them for years to come.

Per The Athletic’s Kelly Iko, Houston could pursue an asset-related trade by the NBA’s Feb. 6 in-season deadline. They won’t go after De’Aaron Fox.

Per ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Sacramento Kings are surprisingly expected to open up talks to trade All-Star De’Aaron Fox ahead of Feb. 6’s trade deadline.  Cha

The Rockets aren't pursuing a blockbuster deal at this time, even with Kings star De'Aaron Fox potentially on the trade market.

These three teams are rising contenders in need of a star point guard and have the kinds of assets that the Kings would be interested in.

The clock is ticking on Sacramento. Would Houston or Orlando make a play for the point guard? Or will the Spurs form a dynamic duo?

Fox should be an attractive addition for any team involved. The one-time All-Star is as productive as ever during the 2024-25 NBA season. Fox is averaging 25.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.

Scoring has been climbing as of late, but this year the stat inflation has revealed itself in a more subtle way.

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.

With most in NBA circles focused on the Jimmy Butler drama, a new super-star appears to be now be available in the trade market.
