As plenty of interviews take place during NBA All-Star weekend, Klutch Sports agent Rich Paul joined Gil’s Arena last weekend in San Francisco to discuss the recent trade deadline, which included two of his clients, Anthony Davis and De’Aaron Fox, finding new homes.

The Drive Guys broke down Paul’s comments about the De’Aaron Fox situation, including his liking of pairing the guard with Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio.

“In De’Aaron’s case, he had spent eight years in (Sacramento),” Rich Paul said. “It was pretty good, but it was time for a change, and I personally wanted to place him next to Wemby to grow, and he thought that that made a lot of sense, too.”

“It’s his choice, but that’s where he wanted to be and I was blessed enough and able enough to make that happen.”

Sacramento is 2-0 against the Golden State this season, winning the most recent matchup at Golden 1 Center by a final of 123-117 on January 22nd behind 32 points from DeMar DeRozan.
