Matt George: The Sacramento Kings have remained open still to a sign-and-trade of Malik Monk to Detroit.
They still have a few days to complete that. Meanwhile, the Kings are very engaged on the Jonathan Kuminga front in a deal which, I’m told, likely wouldn’t involve Monk. @ABC10

Sacramento Kings backcourt currently:
PG – Schroder/Carter?
SG – LaVine/Monk/Keon/Clifford/Davis
Perry bringing this into next season would be borderline malpractice. So who do you move?
Trading DeMar doesn’t change this at all. – 2:12 PM

Ending my night with a final thought:
Reporting/sharing information and potential Kings perspectives is very different from agreeing with or supporting that info/perspective.
I understand any Kings fan who dislikes the idea of trading Malik Monk in this sign-and-trade.

Kings fans really are having a hard time grasping how bad Malik Monk’s trade market is.
I don’t really blame them. It surprises me too. But it’s bad. – 12:24 AM

An emerging option for the Pistons, sources say, is Detroit trading for Kings guard Malik Monk. Sounds like there’s a chance this deal, if agreed to, could turn into a sign-and-trade that brings Dennis Schroder to Sacramento. – 10:51 PM

Vincent Goodwill: Pistons signing Duncan Robinson to 3/48M per sources… one would think it takes them out the running for a Malik Monk S/T, along with getting off of Fontecchio

Marc Stein: After exploring potential sign-and-trades to seal its long-anticipated addition of Dennis Schröder, Sacramento is signing Schröder direct
. This affects the likelihood of Russell Westbrook-to-Sacramento since Malik Monk did not go to Detroit and remains in the Kings’ backcourt. -via Twitter @TheSteinLine
