Thank you Malik for choosing to stay in Sac. Hopefully the Kings will go deep in the playoffs this coming postseason. But now we know for 82 games Sacramento fans will have the privilege of watching a special player who loves basketball and plays with an infectious joy.

I am ecstatic he is staying. Please let him be a starter so he is happy in Sacramento. He is a player that has the spirit and toughness who takes no guff from other players. Made my day when I suddenly saw about 6 announcements he was staying. He will be amazing. We are so lucky to have him.!!!!

Malik making an early decision helps the Kings before the draft so they can still focus on upgrading the power forward position. Malik definitely could have gotten more but the compatibility with sabonis and fox insures his effectivity going forward and that played a part in Monks decision. Great day for Sac.

Unless they get a defensive versatile stopper they are not going anywhere or deep in the playoffs. They need to trade Huerter, Barnes. Go after Toppin, draft defense and look for more defense. unless they get their Greene, Gordon, Tucker, White player they can't get past first round.

Size/defense is a must for this team on draft night . Deron Homes II, Cody Williams, Ron Hollands, Tidjane Salaun, Tristan da Silva , Yves Missi. One of those guys will be there. Monk is a starter, (Hurter, Ellis, Jones, Mitchell) can battle for the first guy off the bench.

I wasn't even stressing about Malik resigning or not. I though it would be strange if he went to another team just to get that bag when the whole reason he even signed with the kings was probably because of De'Aaron Fox's influence. Why would he leave his friend when that was one of the main reasons he came here? Malik even started having some of his best season performances of his career here in Sacramento so why would he leave to a new environment? Also knowing how much he loves this city and the fans with how loyal his personality seems to be I would be confused if he left but understanding because at the end of the day you gotta do whats best for you.

Good decision for Monk He will grow in Sacramento and will be loved by his fans.Now Monty can focus on big men. He can focus on Grant, Bridges, Kuzma, Duren, and or Wiseman to name a few or Edey if he still available. Kings can trade Duarte, Len, Ford, Kessler and Lyles. If Washington needs Barnes and the 13th pick for Kuzma go for it.
