In recent beam team news, it was reported on Nov. 13 by ESPN\u2019s Damien Barling that Sacramento Kings<\/a> star De\u2019Aaron Fox is switching representatives and has signed with Rich Paul and Klutch Sports. Of course this news put Kings\u2019 Twitter in a frenzy about the possibility of losing their franchise player.<\/p>\n

Rich Paul is the agent of Lebron James and rose to elite agent status due to their success together. He now has a top-notch client list that includes the likes of Anthony Davis, Ben Simmons, John Wall, Lonzo Ball and Dejounte Murray.<\/p>\n

One similarity amongst all of these players is they have all switched teams within the last few years. Most notably AD… to join Lebron and the Lakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on the latest episode of the \u201cBrian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective\u201d podcast<\/a>, ESPN reporter Marc Spears said that Fox hiring Paul to represent him doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s asking for a trade, and that Fox himself told him he\u2019s quite content in Sacramento:<\/p>\n

\n

Spears: <\/strong>\u201dHe just loves how they\u2019ve treated him, he wants to win for them, he wants to win for the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

Windhorst:<\/strong> \u201dCan I interrupt you again? So he just switched to Rich Paul as his agent and he\u2019s under contract for many years, I think he\u2019s got three years left after this, but I don\u2019t know…\u201d<\/p>\n

Spears:<\/strong> \u201dHe\u2019s not asking out. I think people were nervous about that, but De\u2019Aaron doesn\u2019t want to leave. He\u2019s kind of in the Dame mold. Like he wants to do something special there. Because I asked him, \u2018why haven\u2019t you asked out?\u2019 And he was like \u2018I don\u2019t want to be handed something. I want to build something here.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Que the collective sigh of relief from every Kings fan.<\/p>\n

Knowing your franchise player has a winning mentality is great. But knowing that they specifically want to be a winner on your team is a dream come true. Many fans \u2014 myself included \u2014 have carried a small amount out fear in the back of our minds that if Fox got the idea he could win a championship elsewhere after years of misery on the Kings, he would request out and leave the team to be horrible yet again.<\/p>\n

But now, with the way both he and his team are playing, I no longer foresee his departure for quite some time. The Kings are having fun… from the key players to the guys that don\u2019t even see the court on a nightly basis. There is now a legitimate and competent basketball franchise in the city of Sacramento. Some would say a… beam… of light for the team.<\/p>\n

If Fox is truly looking to build something here, the foundation is laid. The next step is for the players, coaches and front office to be consistent and show some passion. For the first time in a long time, the Kings can both enjoy the present and look forward to the near future. One that will certainly involve De\u2019Aaron Fox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
