The Los Angeles Lakers guard Malik Monk says he’s glad the team’s general manager Rob Pelinka called him this summer. He loves the role he’s gotten on the Lakers, via Kyle Goon: “This is what I’ve wanted to do my whole career.” This season, Malik Monk and star guard Russell Westbrook have the same amount of games (13) with 20+ points and 50% shooting. One makes $44 million, the other makes the vet minimum.
