Malik Monk表示願意續留湖人，錢不是現階段主要考量，上場時間及舒適環境比較重要。
“Money is always a part, man, but I don’t think it’s the biggest priority in my free agency this year,” Monk said. “It’s me feeling like I’m having a home and I can go out there and do the same things I did this year.”
“錢一直是考量的一部分，但我不認為這是我在今年最優先考慮因素。湖人像是一個家，我可以在場上去做我今年做過的事情。
Monk said he’d consider accepting less money than his market price to stay with the Lakers for the taxpayer midlevel exception.
Monk會考慮接受低於市場行情的價碼來留在湖人隊，如果湖人用中產簽他。
“They might not be able to pay me as much as I want,” he said. “But I could be here and be way more comfortable as a Laker than going to any other team (that would pay) me $5 million more. So it’s just me trying to figure out what team would really want me.”
Monk:“他們(湖人)可能無法支付我想要的薪水，但我可以留在這裡，這可能會比去一支多給我5M的球隊要舒服得多。所以我想弄清楚什麼樣的球隊會真正需要我。”
