Woah, might even have a little MLE left over

I dig it. I liked MM coming out of the draft. Last season looked like he took a jump forward in his development.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Two year deal is just fine.

Monk just coming into his prime!

 

[King Baller]

Welcome Malik Monk!

BEAT THE LAKERS!!!!!

 

[Padrino]

Would have preferred to bring back DDV, but I certainly can't complain about the contract for Monk. And I certainly can't complain about the Kings poaching one of the Lakers' few useful pieces!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Dude that is rock solid!

 

[Spike]

Quality starter at a reasonable price/length. Let's go!

 

[Dime Dropper]

Yeah, solid pick up. Still only 23, so his breakout could be yet to come. De'Aaron must be thrilled in any case.

Welcome, Monk! I apologize in advance for every Tony Shalhoub reference I make in the next two years.

Cool to see him reunite with Fox but I don't see this as a game winning move unless he takes another large step forward offensively. Needs to average an efficient 17ppg to really make this a winning move.

His defensive metrics are still in the tank and he really hasn't improved defensively much at all throughout his career. The roster just got more lopsided with the subtraction of DDV and addition of Monk.

 

[Kingz19]

Perfect!

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Yeah, solid pick up. Still only 23, so his breakout could be yet to come. De'Aaron must be thrilled in any case.

Now we just need to get Bam Adebayo to make the trio reunion complete!

Don't worry guys, he'll break you out. Wait, they're in a jail right? lol.

Welcome, Monk! I apologize in advance for every Tony Shalhoub reference I make in the next two years.

It’s ok, man… it’s a jungle out there.

 

[Hoovtrain]

All my laker fan buddy’s are pissed, so this signing is already a massive win in my book

 

[SLAB]

Solid hopefully ascending player on not a ridiculous overpay.

I like it.

 

[New Era]

Welcome Malik!

What I love about this:

- He's 23
- He's improving
- He's a knock down shooter
- He's athletic
- Decent handles
- Great chemistry with Fox
- Wants to be here
- Great contract/value

What I don't love:

- Poor defensively....but I feel like he can get better

Overall....really like the move!

 

[Kingster]

If it's a Monk for DDV "trade" then it sucks; this team just got worse and the idea of improving the Kings' defense is a joke. Will have to wait and see if he's designated the starting SG or if the real SG is picked up later.

Should be no surprise to anybody.

You guys had a great draft and this Monk signing was a good one. He may have to be your 6th man which isn't a diss. The last step for you guys should be trading Barnes for whatever/whomever. I would say John Collins, who can play PF with Sabonis or C with Murray.

But going back to Monk, this was a great signing. I just know production wise, owning him in fantasy that he was on and off hot & cold. But going from Fox to Westbrook at PG should help a ton.
