We better be getting something else in return. I defended the front office saying it likely wouldn't be a straight swap. If it is then we are getting fleeced.
Because Scott doesn’t see Monk as part of the core moving forward and allegedly there are no suitors for Monk’s services. I’m guessing he sees this as a way to fill the point guard position, free up playing time for guards and open up the midlevel exception to either sign a player at a different position and clean the books up for a cleaning of house after next season.
Giving away a 27 year old with 6MotY potential on a solid deal for Denis Schroeder should get Scott Perry fired.

I get it but one of Devin, Monk or Ellis was going to be gone eventually regardless of Lavine/Deebo. I love Malik but I’m choosing the guys who can defend over the sparksplug scorer.
Yeah, Malik just doesn't fit. That was the Fox team design and when he got a chance to be the replacement the mix was off.
It doesn’t feel good to trade away a talent like that, especially as a fan favorite who loves Sac. Having said that, Deebo, Val, Russ would all come off the books after next season. Lavine is on an ender, if he preforms well maybe you offer him a reasonable extension, if not he could be traded easier at that point. Full year to see what you have with the rest of the younger guys.
Trading Monk and losing team control of Keon to acquire Dennis and Russ is truly peak Kings.
Didn't expect much different when we let the only adult in the room, go
This is really showing the value of non defending smaller combo G's right now. Stay away! And from what it looks like the Kings might have indeed made a mistake just jumping the gun on Monk in FA so they were likely stuck with that deal into 2027. No other team apparently valued him at that amount from the looks of it.
Malik is and has been one of my favourite Kings, love his personality and the fact he loves being in Sac..which in itself, is pretty important to any "culture building"Giving away a 27 year old with 6MotY potential on a solid deal for Denis Schroeder should get Scott Perry fired.

NBA players play basketball in shoes. NBA heights are listed in shoes. The reason the combine lists heights barefoot is because dudes would show up in high heels to make their measurements look good. The average basketball shoe, as worn by NBA players in NBA games adds 1.25 inches. So add 1.25 inches to a player's combine barefoot height and that's his NBA list.Clifford barefoot is not 6’6.5.
They could show up in flops, like Whiteside.NBA players play basketball in shoes. NBA heights are listed in shoes.

Barring a first what can we possibly get to justify this nonsense. Schroeder is a downgrade and monk is on a great contract why would you do that swap. I could get it if we got that scrub Schroeder than traded monk for Barrett or PJ Washington
Monk for PJ Washington was always a pipe dream. Just because Kevin Pelton says he would do it doesn't mean Dallas would...
Similar pipedream - get back Ron Holland with Schroeder!
The issue is that the Kings gave Malik a taste of the starter fruit last season and there was no chance of ever really having him go back to being a sixth man at least here in Sacramento.We don't have room for Monk, LaVine and Deebo but of those 3, Monk has the most likeable personality and is well matched to his 6th man role. So not keen on the rumours.
To be fair, 99.9% of the people on these forums generally understand that people wear shoes when they play basketball.Good to know. I will keep this in mind next time I comment on combine height measurements and playing position. To reduce replication of effort and demonstrate an ability to listen, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD ALL COMMIT TO DOING THIS![]()

Give us a lotto protected pick Detroit probably going to be picking in the 20s assuming they stay relatively healthy and add Monk plus the other guys they've poached.If they just move Monk it does fit a 2027 rebuild option so that's good. I saw a blurb that the Kings were offered Kobe Bufkin and Georges Niang. Yeah, Schroder is > that package at least lol. Although getting a young player would be preferred by me. Ah well.
