A trade with the Sacramento Kings is reportedly not on the table for the Miami Heat as it relates to disgruntled veteran Jimmy Butler. Speaking Wednesday

A little more than a week before the NBA trade deadline, the league was shaken up by several reports indicating that Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox wants out of Sacramento, and that the team would be wise to move on from him before he enters the final year and $37 million of his contract.

Assuming Miami considers Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro untouchable in Fox talks (as they should, especially if Jimmy Butler is soon leaving), the Heat’s package for Fox — in addition to a 2028 first-rounder — would be the following four players: Terry Rozier, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jović, and Kel'el Ware.

Domantas Sabonis remains one of the best bigs in the NBA, and will have plenty of room and size to work with against the short (handed) Sixers. Outside of the Fox-Sabonis duo, they have plenty of scoring options with DeMar DeRozan, Malik Monk and Keegan Murray.
