Let’s instead celebrate the reunion of De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk now that Monk is signing with Fox’s Sacramento Kings in free agency. According to Shams Charania, Monk is signing a two-year deal worth $19 million to join his old teammate in Sactown. Monk had previously expressed his desire to stay with the Lakers in L.A.
But wait, there’s more! A third former Wildcat, Trey Lyles re-signed with the Kings earlier today. Sacramento also signed Nate Sestina to its Summer League roster.
