Even though the Lakers have suffered a lot of disappointments this year, fans have something to celebrate in some areas. This is the case for example with the performances of Malik Monk, who is present in the City of Angels. His agent has just ignited for the future.
Now that the All-Star Game is over, players will be able to focus on the future, with a very important second half of the season for the Lakers. LeBron James has a big responsibility with his team, he who might end this exercise with a disappointment. Despite everything, some still have hope.
However, with Russell Westbrook in bad shape and Anthony Davis in the infirmary for a long time, we can ask ourselves questions regarding this roster. Fortunately for Los Angeles, not everything is to be thrown away during this campaign, like the performances of Malik Monk.
The rare satisfaction of the Lakers this season!
Not necessarily known for his defense, Monk shines with his attack. He finished consistently over 20 points, and is gaining minutes off the bench. For some, he might even be a starter. Here is a player that the front office will want to keep and that’s good, his agent is already open to this idea.
“Right now, he’s a Laker, and hopefully, he’ll be a Laker forever.” says Malik Monk’s agent (and brother), Marcus Monk.

“Currently he is a Laker, and we hope he will be a Laker forever. says Malik Monk’s agent (and brother), Marcus Monk.
The player’s agent already makes it known: Malik is ready to stay with the Lakers, which is not surprising. He declared that he was happy in Los Angeles, is it still necessary to find a financial agreement for the future. In the meantime, the full-back continues to want to improve his game:
Where am I improving? On my shot selection, and not falling in love with the three-point shot. I make more and more passes, lobs for my teammates. I try to balance my game as much as possible. I think that’s the most important thing.
Malik Monk at the Lakers? It’s an adventure that might last a few years or more. The back wants to stay, and we imagine that the interest is mutual. For the rest, we will have to wait for the summer to find out more.
