Malik Monk got most of the Non-Taxpayer MLE from the Kings.
Sacramento likely left enough to sign a player to a four-year minimum deal vs the two years allowed via the Minimum Exception. – 6:08 PM

Can confirm reports that guard Malik Monk has agreed to a deal to join the Sacramento Kings, two years for about $20 million. Monk had a break-out season with the Lakers, who knew they probably wouldn’t be able to afford him in free agency. – 6:05 PM

Lakers to sign Kemba Walker and Blake Griffin, re-sign Malik Monk (MLE) and Carmelo (minimum), and run it back. Not news, just a palpable whiff of emotional panic I just had. – 1:57 PM

Malik Monk could be a great fit for the Sacramento Kings. He knows De’Aaron Fox’s game pretty well, since Kentucky days and he’s a prolific scorer. Definetely can make the difference in Sactown. #SacramentoProud1:26 PM

More on this storyline

 

Jason Anderson: I’m getting strong indications from league sources that Malik Monk will reach an agreement with the Sacramento Kings after free agency begins at 6 p.m. ET. Sounds like a Kentucky reunion with De’Aaron Fox could be in the works. https://t.co/B8lTxCQbtd -via Twitter @JandersonSacBee / June 30, 2022
