Having been struggling for several games, the Spurs may need help to reach the playoffs in the Western Conference. And for some Internet users, the ideal recruit is very clear on the market.
With some defeats recently, including during Christmas Day, the Spurs will have to think about the approach of the deadline, which will take place at the beginning of February as a reminder. The front office knows that the priority is to help Victor Wembanyama for the title in the years to come, but must we act now to reach the playoffs NBA ?
Because without a new arrival to boost the back line a little, or the bench, the Spurs could miss the postseason, especially when we see the competition within the Western Conference. Opinions differ among supporters, even if rumors are numerous. From Jimmy Butler to De'Aaron Fox, the Texan franchise has a following.
A perfect recruit for Spurs?
But one case seems to stand out from the others: we are talking here about Fox. The talented 27-year-old leader recorded averages of 26.2 points and 6.2 assists, all on a Kings team in distress. They are on a series of 5 defeats in the West and have just lost against the Pistons this Thursday evening, with a score of 114-113.

With 13 victories and 18 defeats, and a 12th place in the West, Sacramento must react to reach the playoffs and satisfy Fox's ambitions. But is all this really of much use? Can a single trade allow the Kings to make a run in the playoffs? Probably not. Destroying the roster to rebuild seems necessary.
And for a few people, the Spurs need to pounce on this opportunity. A duet between Fox and The animal would be attractive on paper.
@CoachMikeLo : “Add De'Aaron Fox to this Spurs team and see how special Wembanyama can be and how much of a threat he can become to the rest of the Western Conference. Swipa would also be a great addition to the community. »
Between the situation of the Spurs and that of the Kings, it will be interesting to see if San Antonio wants to find out before the February deadline. Sacramento is at a pivotal time and a rebuild seems like the logical process. It remains to be seen whether the asking price will be at the Texans' doorstep.
Is De'Aaron Fox moving closer to the Spurs? For this supporter, this is in any case excellent news for the franchise and Victor Wembanyama. The Kings will have to quickly decide on their side by making a decision.
