Jan 31, 2025, 11:49 AM | Updated: 11:50 am
Brenden Nunes and Chris Watkins present another edition of the Return of the Roar podcast, where they dove into the latest De’Aaron Fox talks, with the team reportedly shopping their star point guard before the February 6th trade deadline.
The conversation starts with breaking down how it got to this contentious point in the first place, with the Mike Brown firing and other previous key moments standing out above the rest.
With the deadline less than a week away, if he were to be traded, Fox’s preferred destination is clear: the San Antonio Spurs.
Chris and Brenden try to make sense of the situation going on between Fox and the Kings, plus what potential trade packages could looks like, and more in this episode of the Return of the Roar podcast.
