There are a lot of factors to consider when talking about a deal that would pair Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox.

The clock is ticking on Sacramento. Would Houston or Orlando make a play for the point guard? Or will the Spurs form a dynamic duo?

With respect to Chris Paul, who has done an admirable job as a veteran leader, the Spurs don't have their point guard of the future on the roster right now. They need a young pick-and-roll scorer who can run the floor with Wembanyama. There aren't many available targets that fit better than the 27-year-old Fox.
