Recently, ESPN analyst Shams Charania reported that the Sacramento Kings have completed a multi-team trade, sending De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs. In return, Zach LaVine will be moving from the Chicago Bulls to Sacramento. Interestingly, this major news was first leaked by a parody account on X (formerly Twitter) before being confirmed by Charania.
Shams Charania shared news about Fox’s trade on Sunday at 8:29 PM, but the parody account NBA Centell actually reported the news earlier on Saturday at 10:57 AM. This twist adds a humorous element to the trade discussion.
Recently, NBA Centell highlighted this incident on X by tagging Shams Charania and stating, “@ShamsCharania YOU’RE A DAY LATE.” Once it became clear that NBA Centel had broken the news before Charania, NBA fans took to the comments section to praise the parody account.
Many fans expressed their surprise at the news, while others emphasized NBA Centel’s importance within the NBA community. Additionally, several fans shared funny jokes in the comments.

Skip Bayless Shares Thoughts On De’Aaron Fox’s Trade
De’Aaron Fox’s recent trade to the San Antonio Spurs has stirred considerable excitement within the NBA community. Several players, analysts, and fans have eagerly shared their reactions to this monumental transaction. Additionally, former Undisputed host Skip Bayless has chimed in, offering his own insights regarding Fox’s move. While he praises Fox for his outstanding skills, Bayless also issues a warning to Spurs star Victor Wembanyama.
“That night in 2017, Sweet 16 game at Memphis. Do you remember this? Kentucky, UCLA, and Kentucky won 86-75. De’Aaron Fox cooked poor Lonzo Ball that night. Cooked him for 39 points. It’s “put up or shut up” time for Wemby.” Bayless said.
