The Sacramento Kings made a huge move on Friday, firing head coach Mike Brown in an attempt to save the season.
Will that be the last change they make or will others be leaving the team soon?
According to Tim MacMahon, via NBACentral, De’Aaron Fox could leave the team and the Miami Heat are a “team to watch” because of Fox’s association with Miami big man Bam Adebayo.
MacMahon wrote:
“…There’s also been talk about Miami, given his connection to Bam Adebayo. Who knows what other suitors might emerge, or which of these teams will actually pursue him if it comes to that?”

Fox and Adebayo are longtime friends and former teammates from the University of Kentucky.
Will Fox’s ties to him be enough to have him demand a trade and move to Miami?
Miami fans are already picturing how well Fox would fit into head coach Erik Spoelstra’s rotation.
He could definitely be a huge asset to the team that seems to be at a bit of a crossroads right now.
With that being said, the recent changes in Sacramento might convince Fox to stay with the Kings.
He may want to give the team some time to settle down after the firing of Brown and see what they can achieve with new leadership.
Or perhaps Brown’s departure was just the beginning of something bigger in Sacramento.
If Fox does enter the trade market, Miami will have tons of competition.
But the allure of playing with an old friend and former teammate may persuade him to move to Miami.
