This is huge for the Kings. There was concern that another team would outbid the Kings, but Monk’s camp apparently didn’t like the landscape and moved quickly to lock in with Sacramento. This is huge, not just for next season and for Sacramento to have clarity entering free ageny, but also having clarity of Monk’s intentions before the NBA Draft next week.
Monk cannot officially sign his new deal until the moratorium lifts on July 6th.
This is awesome, awesome news. I am so glad Monk will be staying in Sacramento for years to come.
Hey, did you know “Malik” means King in Arabic?
