John gives his unique insight on the De’Aaron Fox trade request, and we get into every aspect: How much do the Spurs value their young players like Devin Vassell and Stephon Castle? How much do the Kings value staying competitive, or getting their 2031 pick swap back? How much are Fox and Rich Paul going to step on the scales to get to San Antonio–and how much are the Spurs willing to go all-in on Fox as the guy next to Victor Wembanyama? Plus, which other teams should get involved and what should their offers be?

John and Nate also discuss the recent mock trade deadline, plus hit on what the Pacers or Hawks might do at the deadline.
