That’s because the Spurs — reportedly Fox’s preferred trade destination — currently have nine tradeable first-round picks that they can include in a deal to the Heat’s one tradeable first-round selection. San Antonio also has young talent such as Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell and others who it can add to any trade package for Fox.

As the Miami Heat are connected to Sacramento Kings star De'Aaron Fox after reports of the guard possibly being moved ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline, Bam Adebayo could be a key factor in the decision. The Heat were even favored at one point to acquire Fox with one of the reasons being the connection between himself and Fox.
