The Sacramento Kings recently made a major change by firing head coach Mike Brown, but that might not be the end of their alterations.
There are still many people wondering what’s next for De’Aaron Fox.
Will the star player remain with the Kings or move along to another team before the trade deadline or in the offseason?
Speaking on “Run It Back,” DeMarcus Cousins spoke about his predictions for Fox.
He thinks that if Fox receives an All-NBA spot, he will stick around in Sacramento.
If Fox doesn’t receive that honor, Cousins believes he will be gone.
“I think if De’Aaron Fox makes All-NBA he stays. If not, he’s out.” 👀@BoogieCousins says Fox will only stay with the Kings if he can continue to elevate his career in Sacramento

DeMarcus Cousins, who was a two-time All-NBA player himself, knows a thing or two about being disgruntled with a team.
In fact, he also knows a thing or two about being disgruntled with the Sacramento Kings.
Cousins got his start with the Kings back in 2010 and soon became one of the most talented big men in the NBA.
But after seven seasons, he moved on to numerous other teams before leaving the NBA after the 2021-22 season.
He knows why Fox would want to try his luck with another team and if he doesn’t get an All-NBA nod, this may be the perfect time to turn the page and move on.
Of course, he could leave within the next few weeks too.
If Fox demands a trade, the Kings will want to move quickly and try to get the most out of his value on the market.
There are many teams who would instantly leap at the chance to trade for Fox and the Kings could get a big return for him.
They want him to stay, but they will work with the hand they are dealt.
Right now, Fox is still a King but that could change in the months, or even weeks, ahead.
