Like most Sacramento fans, De'Aaron Fox wanted answers to those questions. He loved the city and its rabid fan base, but wanted stability in the organization. He wanted a plan that would move the Kings up the ladder in the West.

Fox told the Kings this summer he did not want to play for a fifth head coach in less than eight seasons in Sacramento.

In an interview with ESPN that was published on Friday, just hours before his return to Sacramento, San Antonio Spurs—and former Kings—guard De'Aaron Fox said that he warned his former team about firing then-head coach Mike Brown prior to his trade to San Antonio in February.
