Bobby Marks on where the Sacramento Kings stand heading into free agency

The NBA free agency negotiating window will open at 3:00 PM PDT this Sunday, June 30th, meaning that there will be plenty of movement taking place around the league this weekend.

After reaching a four-year, $78 million agreement with Malik Monk and trading away Davion Mitchell and Sasha Vezenkov, how much flexibility will the Sacramento Kings have in the free agent and trade markets?

During Friday’s edition of The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross, ESPN’s NBA Front Office insider Bobby Marks joined the show to break down where the Kings stand heading into free agency, explain why Monk decided to re-sign early, and much more.

Topics Discussed: NBA Free Agency

• What was the motive behind Sacramento’s decision to trade Mitchell and Vezenkov?
• After signing Monk and drafting Devin Carter with the 13th pick, the Kings needed to create some cap room to avoid the first tax apron
• “I guess it’s a financial move, because it gets you below the tax, gives you some wiggle room to do some other things, maybe make a trade and take back salary.”
• Will the tax aprons impact how active teams will be in NBA free agency?
• Why did Malik Monk choose to forego free agency and remain with Sacramento?
• “He likes it there… It works out for both sides.”
• Will the Kings have the full MLE (mid-level exception) available this summer?
• De’Aaron Fox won’t sign an extension this year. Why is he waiting?
