德阿隆·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)被交易到圣安东尼奥马刺的传闻日益喧嚣。周日，当这位明星后卫在一笔涉及萨克拉门托国王和芝加哥公牛的三方交易中被送走时，谣言变成了现实。
从圣安东尼奥的角度来看，这笔交易最重要的细节是球队为了得到福克斯而没有放弃的球员。马刺没有交易走斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)、德文·瓦塞尔、杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)或凯尔登·约翰逊。虽然马刺不得不送出一大堆选秀权，但他们甚至保住了自己最有价值的未来选秀权。

这笔交易是如何发生的？
最近联盟里公开的秘密就是德阿隆·福克斯想为马刺效力。这位27岁的球员在德克萨斯州长大，他的妻子来自圣安东尼奥。从篮球角度来看，维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)对福克斯来说是一个非常有吸引力的卖点。成为这位法国人的左膀右臂无疑是一个令人兴奋的提议。
由于福克斯将在下赛季后成为自由球员，国王队感受到了交易他的压力。萨克拉门托决定立即行动。国王队从公牛队得到了扎克·拉文，并从马刺队得到了一系列选秀权。
德阿隆·福克斯在圣安东尼奥的适应性
福克斯是一位身高6英尺3英寸（约1.91米），体重185磅（约84公斤）的控球后卫，他拥有极强的得分能力。他是挡拆中的高效得分手，这应该会让他立即成为文班亚马的危险搭档。
福克斯作为一名篮球运动员最大的特点是他的速度。他在开放的球场上像一道闪电，在半场阵地进攻中几乎不可能有人能跟上他。福克斯可以用出色的运动能力在篮下完成进攻，在中距离精准得分，并且拥有三分线外的射程。
福克斯本赛季场均得分25.0分，而且他在比赛最后时刻表现出色的历史。他将减轻马刺其他所有人的得分负担，并为球队提供关键时刻的得分保障。
在传球方面，福克斯也做得不错。他不是一个高水平的组织者，但他场均6.1次助攻，并且传球能力足以掌控进攻。
防守方面，福克斯有时会注意力不集中，但他场均5.0个篮板，并且上赛季领跑NBA的场均抢断数。他拥有至少达到平均水平的防守能力的的身体素质。
27岁的福克斯应该还有几年的巅峰期。在这段时间里，他会给文班亚马一个顶级控球后卫来帮助他掌控比赛。文班亚马显然已经足够优秀，可以成为一支季后赛球队的最佳球员，而福克斯的加入是马刺在冲击季后赛席位方面迈出的一步。
马刺为得到德阿隆·福克斯付出了什么
扎克·科林斯因为下赛季1800万美元的合同而具有负资产价值。这位替补中锋失去了他的位置，并且成为了一个昂贵的板凳球员。
虽然特雷·琼斯在2020年NBA选秀第二轮被选中后在马刺队有过一段不错的表现，但他在这支球队的未来似乎即将结束。他本赛季场均只有16.1分钟的上场时间，并且在福克斯到来之后将会被排除在轮换阵容之外。琼斯缺乏外线投射能力，这使得他与文班亚马的未来发展方向并不匹配。
西迪·西索科展现出了一些潜力，但他本赛季在发展联盟的三分球命中率只有21.3%，这确实让他在NBA的未来充满了疑问。
在首轮签中，来自黄蜂的2025年首轮签不会兑现，而是会变成两个次轮签。公牛的2025年首轮签今年有前十顺位保护，接下来的两年有前八顺位保护。因此，公牛的这个选秀权可能永远不会兑现。
到目前为止，马刺在这笔交易中放弃的两个最有价值的资产是他们自己的2027年首轮签和来自森林狼的2031年首轮签。报告显示这两个选秀权都是无保护的。
但是，再次强调，马刺在没有放弃任何年轻有前途的球员的情况下完成了这笔交易。他们也保住了自己的2025年首轮签以及来自亚特兰大老鹰的两个2025年和2027年的无保护首轮签。
交易的潜在缺点
首先，交易无保护的首轮选秀权总是有风险的。马刺显然希望他们的2027年首轮签会在20多顺位——但你永远不知道。森林狼的2031年首轮签无法预测，但它太遥远了，以至于目前的价值并不是特别高。
我认为失去科林斯、琼斯或西索科没有任何缺点。科林斯已经失去了他的位置，输给了查尔斯·巴塞和桑德罗·马穆凯拉什维利。摆脱他的合同是一场胜利。琼斯是一个稳固的球员，但他缺乏投篮或得分本能，这让他显得格格不入。西索科的投篮命中率一直不够高，不足以让他成为一个真正的NBA球员。
就福克斯而言，我不太喜欢他低于平均水平的三分球命中率。虽然他的出手次数可以接受（本赛季场均6.4次出手），但他在2024-25赛季的命中率只有32.2%，职业生涯的三分球命中率也只有33.3%。在一个理想的世界里，马刺应该用高端射手包围文班亚马。
福克斯在防守端也会走神，他的传球也很少有什么值得兴奋的地方。
关于德阿隆·福克斯交易的总体看法
虽然福克斯不是一个完美的球员，但他非常出色。说他是NBA前25名的球员是公平的。与文班亚马的组合很流畅。他会给球场带来毁灭性的速度，当他与文班亚马共享球场时，这种速度将更加致命。这两名球员之间的一二得分组合将立即产生影响。
总而言之，我没有任何抱怨。一个前25名的球员想来圣安东尼奥，所以马刺队送走了一些他们的选秀资产来完成这笔交易。文班亚马现在有了一位27岁的控球后卫，可以在接下来的五年甚至更长时间里一起成长。他们拥有互补的技能，并且两位球员在关键时刻都能挺身而出。
马刺仍然需要另一位球星才能真正成为冠军争夺者。他们或许能够在选秀中找到这位球星——该死，他可能已经在球队名单上了。或者，马刺有足够的筹码在某个时候通过交易获得这位球星。
对我来说，这笔交易的另一个令人兴奋的方面是，它证明了圣安东尼奥的管理层实际上愿意去寻找球星。我喜欢积累选秀权的想法，但我不确定管理层是否会真的扣动扳机完成这样一笔交易。现在福克斯已经加入，我比以往任何时候都更有信心，马刺会尽其所能为文班亚马打造一支冠军级别的球队。

Grades: Spurs Land De’Aaron Fox in Three-Team Trade
The talk of De’Aaron Fox getting traded to the San Antonio Spurs got louder by the day. On Sunday, the rumors became a reality when the star guard got dealt in a three-team trade that included the Sacramento Kings and Chicago Bulls.
From San Antonio’s perspective, the most important detail of the trade is who the team didn’t have to part with in order to land Fox. The Spurs didn’t have to trade Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan or Keldon Johnson. While the Spurs had to deal away a haul of draft picks, they were even able to hold onto their most valuable future picks.

How Did This Trade Happen?
The worst kept secret in the league recently was that De’Aaron Fox wanted to play for the Spurs. The 27-year-old grew up in Texas and his wife is from San Antonio. Basketball-wise, Victor Wembanyama is a very tall selling point for Fox. Being the Frenchman’s right-hand man going forward was undoubtedly an exciting proposition.
With Fox becoming a free agent after next season, the Kings felt pressure to trade him. Sacramento decided to act now. The Kings were able to obtain Zach LaVine from the Bulls and a collection of picks from the Spurs.
De’Aaron Fox’s Fit in San Antonio
Fox is a 6-foot-3, 185-pound point guard who can really score the ball. He’s a potent scorer in pick-and-rolls, which should instantly make him a dangerous partner for Wembanyama.
Fox’s best trait as a basketball player is his speed. He’s a blur in the open court and it’s almost impossible to stay in front of him in the halfcourt. Fox can finish with athleticism at the rim, score with precision in the mid-range and has range out to the three-point line.
Not only is Fox averaging 25.0 points this season, he has a history of thriving in late-game situations. He’ll lighten the scoring load for everyone else on the Spurs and provide the team with a go-to scorer in the clutch.
Passing-wise, Fox holds his own. He’s not a high-level playmaker but he averages 6.1 assists per game and passes well enough to run an offense.
Defensively, Fox can sometimes be inattentive but he averages 5.0 rebounds per game and led the NBA in steals per game last season. He has the physical tools to at least be average on that end.
At 27, Fox should have a handful of prime years left in the tank. During that time, he’ll give Wembanyama a top-tier point guard to help run the show. Wembanyama is clearly good enough already to be the best player on a playoff team and the addition of Fox is a step forward for the Spurs when it comes to pushing for a spot in the postseason.
What the Spurs Gave Up for De’Aaron Fox
Zach Collins has negative value because of the $18 million he’s due next season. The backup center lost his job and had become an expensive deep bench piece.
While Tre Jones had a good run with the Spurs after being selected in the second round of the 2020 NBA Draft, his future with the team appeared to be heading to an end. He averaged only 16.1 minutes per game this season and would have been outside of the rotation after the acquisition of Fox. Jones’ lack of perimeter shooting made him a poor fit for Wembanyama going forward.
Sidy Cissoko had shown some promise but he was hitting just 21.3% of his three-point attempts in the G League this season, which really put his future in the NBA in doubt.
Of the first round picks, the 2025 first rounder from the Hornets won’t convey and will instead turn into a pair of second round picks. The 2025 first rounder for the Bulls had a top ten protection on it this year and a top eight protection the following two years. Thus, it’s possible that the pick from the Bulls would have never conveyed either.
By far the two most valuable assets the Spurs gave up in this trade were their own 2027 first rounder and the 2031 first rounder from Minnesota. Reports indicate that both of those picks are unprotected.
But, again, the Spurs were able to pull off the trade without giving away any of their young, up-and-coming players. They were also to hold onto their 2025 first rounder and the two unprotected picks coming from the Atlanta Hawks in 2025 and 2027.
Possible Downsides to the Trade
First of all, it’s always risky to trade away unprotected first round draft picks. The Spurs obviously hope their 2027 first rounder will be a pick in the 20s — but you never know. The 2031 first rounder from the Timberwolves is impossible to project but it’s so far away that it’s current value isn’t especially high.
I don’t see any downsides in losing Collins, Jones or Cissoko. Collins had lost his job to Charles Bassey and Sandro Mamukelashvili. Dumping his contract was a win. Jones was a solid player but his lack of shooting or scoring instincts made him an awkward fit. Cissoko simply never shot straight enough to make himself a legit NBA prospect.
As far as Fox is concerned, I don’t love that he’s a below average three-point shooter. While his volume is acceptable (6.4 attempts per game this season), he has shot just 32.2% during the 2024-25 campaign and is just 33.3% from deep for his career. In a perfect world, the Spurs would surround Wembanyama with high-end shooters.
Fox can also fall asleep on defense and his passing is rarely anything to get too excited about.
Overall Thoughts on the De’Aaron Fox Trade
While Fox isn’t the perfect player, he’s damn good. It’s fair to say he’s a top 25 player in the NBA. The pairing with Wembanyama is clean. He’ll bring devastating speed to the court that will be even more deadly when he’s sharing the court with Wembanyama. The one-two scoring punch between these two players will be impactful right away.
All in all, I have no complaints. A top 25 player wanted to come to San Antonio so the Spurs sent some of their draft capital away to get it done. Wembanyama now has a 27-year-old point guard to grow with for the next five-plus seasons. They have compatible skillsets and both players rise up during crunch time.
The Spurs still need another star to truly become a championship contender. They may be able to find that star in the draft — hell, he could already be on the roster. Alternatively, the Spurs have enough pieces in their war chest to acquire that star via trade at some point.
Another exciting aspect of this trade to me is it proves that San Antonio’s front office is actually willing to go star hunting. I loved the idea of accumulating draft picks but I wasn’t sure that the front office would ever pull the trigger on a trade like this. Now that Fox is on board, I’m more confident than ever that the Spurs will do what it takes to put a championship-level squad around Wembanyama.
