Less than a week after ESPN's Shams Charania reported the Sacramento Kings were open to trading All-Star guard De'Aaron Fox and that the San Antonio Spurs were Fox's desired destination, the two teams combined with the Chicago Bulls on a deal Sunday that sent Fox to San Antonio and two-time All-Star Zach LaVine to Sacramento as his replacement.
Sunday's three-team trade features seven players and multiple first-round picks on the move, with the Kings getting a pair of unprotected first-rounders and the Bulls getting back a protected pick this year that could have gone to the Spurs.
How did each team make out in the trade, and what implications could it have going forward, including the possibility of more moves before Thursday's trade deadline? Let's break down Sunday's trade from all angles.
