Sacramento’s most plausible lever is Monk himself, given his $18M-per-year price and the roster’s heavy guard load. If Monk exits for a cost-efficient upgrade, the immediate fantasy impact could hinge on how quickly the backcourt rotation stabilizes and whether increased minutes flow to De’Aaron Fox or a playmaking guard like Schroder. In the longer view, freeing cap space could unlock a secondary shooter or ball-handler, potentially boosting reserve value and ceiling for the Kings’ second unit.
