A guard from the Sacramento Kings is reportedly still a trade candidate this offseason with more moves potentially in the way.
Kings’ Guard Remains Trade Candidate With More Deals Potentially on Horizon: Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Sacramento Kings entered the offseason with some uncertainty surrounding their franchise’s future as many believed that they would begin a rebuild after trading De’Aaron Fox last season.
Instead, the Kings have made multiple additions to their roster and kept their core of DeMar DeRozan, Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine together to chase a playoff spot in the Western Conference next season.
Of course, the big move the Kings have made this summer was landing Dennis Schroder in free agency via a sign-and-trade with the Detroit Pistons as they addressed their massive hole at the starting point guard position.
The Kings have also been linked to many other players in free agency and they could also look to make some trades as well this summer as more moves could potentially be coming for them.
If more moves do end up happening for the Kings this offseason, one player who could be on the move is Malik Monk.
According to ClutchPoints’ Monk continues to be on the trade block for the Kings this offseason as they are looking to move him after posting the best season of his career last year.
Malik Monk dropped 17 & 5 off the bench, lit up second units all season, and gave Sacramento that sparkplug swagger, but the Kings still aren’t done dealing.

This is not a major surprise as Monk has been in trade rumors for most of the offseason and it appears as though his time in Sacramento may be close to coming to an end.
Of course, the 27-year-old guard is coming off the best season of his NBA career where he averaged a career-high 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game while shooting 43.9% from the field and 32.5% from three.
Monk is a great scorer who has turned himself into one of the best sixth men in the NBA, though he also proved he could be effective as a starter last season.
Either way, there should be multiple teams interested in Monk this offseason as the Kings try to take advantage of his increased trade value after his incredible season last year.
