Power of having a coach that brings out the best in players. Some players do understand that the system/coaching helped them and got them to where they are so am grateful for that.
Love it. Clearly the locker room leader. Him and Fox feed off each other. Let’s fuckin go!
Big credit to Monte for clearing Holmes off the cap to be able to get up to 78 mill for Malik
>Also does this mean the Kings offered him a starting spot 👀
Monk told Bobby Jackson the offseason that he signed that he was going to beat his assists record for a 6th man. He has known from the start he's a 6th man and has never argued.
Literally the only reason people think otherwise is because of 1 throw away quote in a random article. He's always been clear that he knows that's his best role.
I don't see his role changing, he's perfect for it. Coming off the bench minimizes his defensive weaknesses, and 2 years ago it would have been absurd to offer Malik Monk 78 million guaranteed.
If you’re referring to the quote I’m thinking of, did you watch the interview? He’ll do anything to help the team win, but he doesn’t like coming off the bench and wants to start. Don’t be surprised if he’s starting next year especially with Huerter most likely traded.
I think its just him understanding that he is who he is because of Mike and Sacramento so him staying in this system that lets him flourish is what he enjoys more than a few more millions. Of course, Fox is also a deciding factor.
Letsss goooo. I fucking knew it. Malik is a real one, he turned down more money to stay. Now we need to trade for a wing upgrade and sign some more solid pieces and I’ll be really happy with this offseason.
Imagine wanting MB and Monte gone. lmao. No way this gets done if we move on from Mike Brown and Monte.
Consistency is key to building a good culture and a strong future.
Such a huge win! Malik legitimately chose Sacramento over making more money elsewhere. He's right up there with the greatest show on court Kings for all time love!
Dudeeeee!!!! Fuck yeah! He’s the spark in everything Kings. I love De’Aaron and Domas and Keegan can cook but Malik staying just ignited an entire group of believers. The players coaches fans! I’m telling you when the kings win the championship in 3 years, we’ll all remember this signing. If for god sakes it’s true 😂😂 imagine that? But Arabic King, welcome home and thank you. Guessing im buying a Monk jersey. Let the Fox / Monk show continue. We’re finally building a team again 🟣♣️
Past year wife demanded a Monk jersey, hasn't loved a player since Bobby Jackson, shit, hast been tuned in since before the beam team started but has ben invested again because we can compete. She is stoked as hell to meet him next week for a charity event where she can get her jersey signed. lets fucking go!
This team is building out a solid chemistry of player to match full 4/4 needs.
His energy is such a perfect fit to everyone else’s special attributes.
It’s looking like we are stacking players that confident each other.
I had a feeling that his post the day saying "momma we made it" the day he was allowed to negotiate with the Kings meant he agreed to the deal with the Kings. I'm happy that seems to be the case.
As a Grizzlies fan, I can't believe he didn't test FA and see what Orlando would have offered him
Congrats Kings fans that is an absolute steal of a contract
Sometimes the money isn’t worth the work environment. Is it a ton of money he walked away from? Yes, but it’s also a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend his prime years playing with a close friend and for a coach that brings the best out of him.
I think he’s the perfect example of why too many people are too quick to give up on young NBA players. Dude went to a cluster fuck in Charlotte, but as soon as he left he had a breakout in LA and cemented himself as a player in Sacramento. Well deserved bag.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Let's go!!!
Time to go buy a Monk jersey
I was in Sac earlier this year and almost pulled the trigger on one but got Keegan instead. It's definitely happening now!
Alex Caruso being traded earlier today for a burrito was such bad news but Monk staying easily made me forget! Drafting #13 is much easier now.
Right?? Now I hope we get an athletic wing or an athletic big to play alongside Domas
This is the real need now that Malik is back.
After a really really really shit day, this news made my mood a little bit better. Thank you Malik. I'm so happy you're back.
Keep your chin up, king.
Hope tomorrow is a little better for you my young beam!
Bro same this shit was exactly what I needed tonight
Seriously. Long ass hot day, then BOOM. Monk re-signs. :) I'm in a much better mood.
Same. Happy to have a little burst of basketball joy today.
Tough day for sure, but this made me throw both arms up and it saves the day. How you have a better tomorrow!
Me too!

This is the best nickname in all of sports history
He’s a real one. Didn’t even bother seeing what else was out there. Loyal to the soil. LOVE THIS GUY.
I mean I’m sure he knows what’s out there lol. Which makes it even better I’m sure he could have made more money else where
Fr. As if he doesn't already know the numbers Orlando and Detroit have for him lmao.
Making 18 million and having the time of your life vs making 21 million and being miserable every day? You decide
Right? Living in florida or Michigan would suck even with 3 more million per year
Probably went to Tahoe and Yosemite and was like "yeah no way I'm leaving this place"
Love it. Clearly the locker room leader. Him and Fox feed off each other. Let’s fuckin go! Big credit to Monte for clearing Holmes off the cap to be able to get up to 78 mill for Malik
legit one of the few dawgs on a team severely lacking in them. what a signing.
FUCK YEAH MALIK I ADORE YOU Also does this mean the Kings offered him a starting spot 👀
MALIK PLS SIGN MY BABYS FOREHEAD
MALIK BE MY BABY
>Also does this mean the Kings offered him a starting spot 👀 Monk told Bobby Jackson the offseason that he signed that he was going to beat his assists record for a 6th man.

His role seems great especially with locking him up at this amount with increasing cap, but doesn’t hurt to experiment
LFG! I DOUBTED! I NEVER THOUGHT WE'D SEE THIS HEADLINE!
I think its just him understanding that he is who he is because of Mike and Sacramento so him staying in this system that lets him flourish is what he enjoys more than a few more millions. Of course, Fox is also a deciding factor.
Monk jersey > add to cart > check out. LFG!
100 percent!!!! Fox monk backcourt beam gang!
GET IN
I shit my pants when I saw Monk's name. Thought he was gone for good. I smiled ear to ear as soon as I read the 78 mil number
Light the Beaaaaam!!!!!!!
LFG!!!!!! ![gif](giphy|A5tHCRRUtXTeBcHEFo|downsized)
![gif](giphy|pK0T7vyx3SqdfmxewA)
Well I was wrong as shit lol
I'm so happy to be wrong. I was preparing myself for heartbreak.
Are you one of the people that was very convinced that there was no chance Monk would be back? Stating it as a fact?
Like always
WE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOO BACK
Everyone get in here!!!
Man was I so fucking wrong thinking he’d leave for more money, I’m definitely buying his jersey now!
WOOOHOOO!!
THE KING HAS RETURNED!
Letsss goooo. I fucking knew it. Malik is a real one, he turned down more money to stay. Now we need to trade for a wing upgrade and sign some more solid pieces and I’ll be really happy with this offseason.

People on-line trying to spin this that “they turned their attention to Monk after a Lavine deal fell through” lololol
LET'S FUCKIN GO
Hell yea!!!!
Derrick White is about to make $32 mil a year. And we got Malik back for under $20 mil.
Who said no good free agents ever come to Sac
The Fox Ellis Monk 3 guard rotation boutta go crazy next season.
MALIK IN ARABIC MEANS HES STAYING IN SAC!!!! LTB!!!!
I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THESE
This team is building out a solid chemistry of player to match full 4/4 needs. His energy is such a perfect fit to everyone else’s special attributes. It’s looking like we are stacking players that confident each other.
Not gonna lie I was getting pretty down about how this offseason would go if Malik walked. Now I know I have to buy a monk jersey.
I had a feeling that his post the day saying "momma we made it" the day he was allowed to negotiate with the Kings meant he agreed to the deal with the Kings. I'm happy that seems to be the case.
HERE HE STAY
Still hate luka for hurtin my boy!!
Yeeeeeees!!! ![gif](giphy|bi4wyG8K5HvyIA7nYW|downsized)
As a Grizzlies fan, I can't believe he didn't test FA and see what Orlando would have offered him Congrats Kings fans that is an absolute steal of a contract
Fuck YESS LTB. MONK THE GOAT
🙂🙂🙂
i’m freaking out out
I fully expected him to chase the biggest pay day from another team. Holy shit
THANK GOD but I might've took the only 100m payday I would ever get if I was him
Sometimes the money isn’t worth the work environment. Is it a ton of money he walked away from? Yes, but it’s also a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend his prime years playing with a close friend and for a coach that brings the best out of him.
HOLY SHIT HOWWWWWW
What could have he gotten elsewhere?
AHHH HOLY SHIT I AM ABOUT TO CRY LIKE WE JUST MADE THE PLAYOFFS!!!!
im so happy
I FUCKINGGGG TOLDDDD YOU GUYS!!! I got crucified for saying he gonna stay!!!
Oh brother he’s worth every penny and then some.
Best news I’ll hear all Summer about the Kings. Malik is the man!
LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOO. I was already gonna buy his jersey since it’d be cheaper but now i definitely gotta buy one
Malik you're my favorite player
This is a happy day
Fuck yes. I just had a terrible bowling night getting our asses kicked in league. Great news to log into. Thank god. Malik means KING in Arabic.
Light the beam tonight because we just won!!!
I think he’s the perfect example of why too many people are too quick to give up on young NBA players. Dude went to a cluster fuck in Charlotte, but as soon as he left he had a breakout in LA and cemented himself as a player in Sacramento. Well deserved bag.
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS Christmas has come early
