The Los Angeles Lakers have a real shot to bring back Malik Monk, and this time, it could help push them over the top. A potential trade sending Gabe Vincent, Maxi Kleber and a draft pick to the Sacramento Kings for Monk not only reunites the Lakers with a fan favourite but also opens a roster spot for another possible reunion with Malik Beasley.
This would be more than just a nostalgia play. Monk is coming off the best season of his career, averaging 17.2 points per game. Despite that, the Kings could be willing to move him as they reportedly explore ways to create space for a possible run at Russell Westbrook.
