Full Episode
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, we had a crazy weekend. Maybe the worst trade in sports history. We've got Trevor Lane to talk about the Lakers side of that, the good part. And Darren Fox got moved. Good morning, everybody. Good evening. Actually, it's a second emergency podcast. I'm Dave Dufour here with Espera Henney and Zena Keita.
And while we were setting up to talk about the Luka Doncic trade, De'Aaron Fox got moved, guys. Emergency pod. I don't know. Get the sirens going. Get the alarm bells going. Here's the deal. The Spurs get De'Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin. The Kings get Zach Levine.
Three first-round picks, 20-25 from Charlotte, which is actually protected heavily and is going to wind up being a 20-26 second and a 20-27 second. The 20-27 first from San Antonio and the 20-31 first from Minnesota. They also got three second-round picks thrown in. The Bulls jumped in on this trade, as you heard.
Zach Levine going to the Kings, and they pick up Zach Collins, Trey Young, Kevin Herter. Trey Young? Excuse me. Trey Young. I mean, that would have been a great return. I got Luke on the brain. Trey Jones, Kevin Herter and their own 2025 pick. So they control their own destiny this year, even though it may be too late to tank for them. Zena, I'm going to start with you here again.
We just got this news. What is your just initial reaction to this trade?
Zach Levine, DeMar DeRozan back together again. Reunited. And it feels so good. Does it feel good, though? Is it going to move the needle for the Kings?
Yeah.
I felt so bad for the Kings when De'Aaron Fox announced that he didn't want to be there anymore. I feel even worse now that they got Zach Levine back. Because don't get me wrong, Zach Levine, DeMar DeRozan, absolutely known for their scoring ability. What they are not known for is winning a lot of playoff series. What they're not known for is getting to the finals.
What they're not known for is being the duo that's going to elevate teams to the championship. And so I'm looking at the Kings and I'm like, I'm so sorry. You've lost here in Fox. Sure. You got Zach, you got some picks. Those picks are, Our smoke and mirrors, folks. And so I just – I feel bad for them, really, really bad for them.
