King s urgent sale of Munch was cold! 18.8 million yuan was rejected for Kumingga, three-point 32.5% became hot potato

Seeing the king "doing his best" and trying to trade Monk but no one answered the news, I understood that the 18.8 million contract was probably a "hot potato" in the league.

To be honest, the King's operation is quite fascinating. He wants to send Monk away, free up the place to sign Westbrook as the sixth substitute, and even dares to exchange him for the Warriors. However, the Warriors rejected it. Who wouldn't refuse? Monk played 65 games last season, averaging 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game. It looks OK, but his three-point shooting percentage is only 32.5%, dropping 3 points faster than his career average of 35.4%. Scoring all depends on the basket and free throws (86.5% free throw percentage). The defender who is not accurate in three-pointers, with nearly 19 million, which team dares to take it? What is more interesting is his positioning. Monk, 27, has always been the "sixth man scorer" from the Hornets to the Lakers to the Kings. He averaged 12.3 points and 3.2 assists in his career. He can indeed score points in a random game, but his stability is too poor. Last season, there was an explosion of 32 points in a single game, and there were also a poor score of 3 consecutive games that were not even doubled. This "nervous knife" attribute, coupled with an annual salary of 18.8 million, is really cost-effective.

The Kings wanted to sign Westbrook as the second substitute after Schroeder. The idea was to make up for the depth of the organization, but for this demand, do you have to Qingmong? Now, the whole league knows that you are in a hurry to dump people, but no one dares to take over. The Warriors refused to use Kumingga to exchange. To put it bluntly, they felt that it was not worth it - Kumingga had potential in his youth, and Monk's contract and status were hidden dangers.

According to this situation, the Kings are afraid they have to keep Monk playing in the new season. It depends on whether he can throw three points back more than 35%, otherwise this 18.8 million will really become a "conspicuous bag" on the king's salary slip. After all, there are not so many teams in the league who are willing to spend nearly 20 million on a "sixth man with unstable sight".
