Sacramento also made some notable additions to their roster this summer as they selected Nique Clifford and Maxime Raynaud in the 2025 draft and added Dennis Schroder in free agency.<\/p>\n
While the Kings have upgraded their roster this offseason, some of their players continue to be in trade rumors, primarily for\u00a0Golden State Warriors\u00a0forward\u00a0Jonathan Kuminga\u00a0who Sacramento is reportedly targeting.<\/p>\n
For the Kings, multiple players have come up in trad rumors this summer but none more than Malik Monk who is coming off the best season of his NBA career.<\/p>\n
Despite this, the Kings have elected to keep Monk thus far but that could change as they continue to look for ways to upgrade their roster even more this offseason to chase a playoff spot next season.<\/p>\n
Kings predicted to trade Malik Monk to Lakers<\/h2>\n With this in mind,\u00a0SB Nations\u2019 Jacob Rude\u00a0recently released a mock trade that would send Malik Monk to the\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers\u00a0for two players.<\/p>\n<\/button><\/figure>\nIn the trade, the Kings would land Gabe Vincent, Maxi Kleber and a lottery protected 2031 first-round pick from the Lakers in return for Monk.<\/p>\n
This trade does not make a ton of sense for the Kings as they would swap one of the best scorers on their roster for two veterans who struggled last season and a lottery protected first-round pick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
Both Vincent and Kleber would be solid additions to the Kings\u2019 roster as they would fill two glaring holes in their rotation, but Sacramento would likely want more in return for Monk, especially with him coming off the best season of his career.<\/p>\n
Because of this, it is highly unlikely that the Kings would agree to this trade as they could possibly receive a larger return for their veteran guard from another team this offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
