Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for January 29th, 2025. Coming up, De'Aaron Fox is on the trade block. The Rockets survive yet another crazy fourth quarter. And we got Anthony Slater to break down the latest on De'Aaron Fox and talk about the Warriors options at the trade deadline. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Zena.
Before we get started, I heard, Zena, that you guys have something kind of amazing happening over on the Athletic Women's Basketball Show, which, of course, you're one of the hosts of, which I don't think we say enough. What is actually going on on the show this week?
Yeah, we're doing something a little different. I mean, typically I go on with our writers. We talk about what's going on in college, what's going on in WNBA, whatever's going on around the world of women's basketball. But we like to have these kind of athlete all access type of additions that we're doing something really new and different.
We have actually a narrative story coming out about a pivotal player. Notre Dame being one of the top college women's basketball teams in the country. And right now in the center of their whole thing is a freshman post player named Kate Koval. And she's a top prospect going in and already making her mark, but she's got a crazy story.
She's actually pursuing a pro career after leaving her home country of Ukraine as it's in the middle of a war, obviously with Russia, many of you know. And we spoke to her exclusively about what her experience has been, what her family struggle has been like. And it's a really touching story and a really special story. And I'm excited for you guys to listen to it.
Yeah, we're excited here. We actually have included an excerpt of the episode at the end of this one. If you guys like it, go and check out the Athletic Women's Basketball Show, wherever you listen to podcasts. Give the full episode a listen. You know, it's not very often that we get a chance to do this sort of narrative stuff on a podcast. And, you know, the athletic is built on narrative.
So please go and check that out over at the Athletic Women's Basketball Show. Zena, we've got some... New trade deadline news. It's not even slop because it's coming from Sam Amick, guys. Sam Amick is reporting that the Sacramento Kings have opened up trade talks for De'Aaron Fox.
Sam is also reporting that De'Aaron Fox's preferred destination would be the San Antonio Spurs to pair up with Victor Wimminyaba. And I also, I mean, listen, I would like to hang out with Megan Thee Stallion. I have dreams too. De'Aaron Fox would probably have a great career if he got to play with Victor Wiminyama for the next 10 years. I love it for him.
Zena, what do you think about De'Aaron Fox?
