SACRAMENTO KINGS

Jan 31, 2025, 12:38 PM | Updated: 12:45 pm

Front office insider and former NBA general manager Bobby Marks joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross Friday morning to discuss the De’Aaron Fox situation that the Sacramento Kings are dealing with and how they may navigate the week leading up to the February 6th trade deadline.

They discussed the assets that the Kings and Spurs are working with in any potential trade conversations, including the financial outlook of both sides.

As a former GM, Bobby Marks gave a peek behind the curtain to how these trade conversations take place among teams, agents, and through the media.

Plus, he explained why he thinks Fox’s value will remain into the offseason, making it more likely that the Kings will retain the star through the deadline.

Topics Discussed Include:

  • How will this affect Sacramento’s leaguewide perception moving forward?
  • Bobby Marks explains why it’s more beneficial for De’Aaron Fox to be traded now rather than in the offseason
  • Why he thinks Fox will remain on the team through the trade deadline
  • A peek behind the curtains of how these trade conversations go
  • Dealing with agents throughout this process

All that and PLENTY of other great conversations can be heard using the link above or on the Sactown Sports YouTube page.

Listen to The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross from 6 – 10 a.m. PST, Monday through Friday, on Sactown Sports 1140.
