Happy he got his bag finally
I’m crying tears of joy rn
MALIK I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
HE STAY
That’s cheap
Sheesh, great for them
Absolute steal by the Kings
Well that’s a surprise
19.5M is a steal wow
Good for the kings man
That’s a discount considering cap space teams were going to give him 9 figures.
Malik means King in Arabic.
Love to see it
Hell yeah happy for you Kings fans. Glad he’s staying
Klay Thompson YOU are an Orlando Magic
Fuck yeah dude
Us magic fans in shambles. This makes sense to me tho. I think just under 20 a year is good value from the team side, and even if he could get a little bit more, he gets to stay in a situation that he flourished in.
Goddamnit can one team in the West get worse so we can make the fucking play-in
Oh so this free agency gonna be BAD. We are gonna have no big signings
LIGHT THE BEAM
Yessir, one of the most underrated players in the league. He flat out one the Kings games this year. So glad he’s back.
I thought he was gonna do the Bobby Portis 1+1 so he could get a bigger max offer from Sacramento next year with bird rights. Either that or just get the bag.
Turns out, he just REALLY wanted to stay. Huge for Sacramento, that’s awesome for them.
He signed for less than Dillon Brooks. He must love the city.
Huge steal
Wow great deal for the kings too
Damn good for Monk
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!
JUST DROPPED TO MY KNEES IN THE PIZZA GUYS PARKING LOT
Crying in da club right now
Got his qualifying offer rescinded by the Hornets in the 2021 off-season. Took the leap and secured himself over $100M total since then. You love to see it.
LIGHT THE BEAM
Happy for Monk. Happy for the Kings fans. League is more fun when Sacramento is good. Light the beam!
That is some amazing news for the Kings if he resigns. At the same time, why is it that all the fucking talent is staying in the West or moving there, cant wait for him to drop 50 against my team in an OT loss.
Great deal, kings FO well done
less than 20 a year? Score!
holy fuk. I fully expected him to be gone
Oh my god I thought we were for sure gonna lose him 😭😭😭 LETS GO!!!
Monk betting on his happiness over his $$. Smart man
Was really hoping we could have landed him. Though he seemed to really improve in SAC so that’s a very respectable move
LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!
Build this man a fucking statue. Rename Golden1 to Malik means Kings arena. I honestly didn’t expect this. We’d all have understood if he had left to get a bigger bag. This means tons for winning culture.
Just saw a guy drop to his knees in the Pizza Guys parking lot
