Inaction could not last forever. The Chicago Bulls finally made a move at the trade deadline after three consecutive years of standing pat, taking one more step forward toward a future vision of a rebuild.

Over the weekend, the Sacramento Kings made a deal to send star point guard De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs, stirring up the NBA by giving 21-year-old superstar Victor Wembanyama an elite point guard.

CHICAGO — The team charter landed back in Chicago following the Bulls’ road loss against the Detroit Pistons when news spread that Zach LaVine had been traded to Sacramento.

“Karnišovas clarifies this: Says he won’t stand in way of young players making playoff run, said that’s sign of development and growth,” K.C. Johnson said in a post. “Understands if they don’t make playoffs, their draft pick can be better.”

The Kings, Spurs and Bulls reportedly coordinate a 7-player, 7-pick trade headlined by De'Aaron Fox going to San Antonio.

The Sacramento Kings made a significant trade on Sunday, sending De’Aaron Fox to the Spurs and returning Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls. They also added Jonas Valanciunas from the Wizards.

The Orlando Magic will get the first shot at the new-look Sacramento Kings. Zach LaVine, acquired in exchange for D'Aaron Fox, makes his Kings debut Wednesday.
