The Kings are signing point guard Quinn Cook to a one-year contract, ESPN’s Marc Spears tweets.
Cook played for the G League Stockton Kings last season. He’ll compete for the third point guard spot behind De’Aaron Fox and Davion Mitchell, so he’s no lock to make the 15-man roster.
His main competition appears to be Matthew Dellavedova, who will enter training camp with a non-guaranteed deal.
The Kings’ interest in Cook was reported last month.
Cook has played for New Orleans, Dallas, Golden State, the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland. He was a member of two championship teams — the Warriors in 2018 and Lakers in 2020.
He didn’t play in an NBA game last season but saw action in a combined 23 games for the Lakers and Cavaliers during the 2020/21 season. In 188 career games, he’s averaged 6.4 PPG and 1.6 APG in 14.1 MPG.
With the G League Kings, Cook appeared in 11 games and averaged 23.5 PPG and 5.9 APG.
Fox is the odd man out. Off to the Pelicans he goes.
Quinn Cook is basically the northern hemispheres version of Delly. Interesting comp bw those 2. I def expect Cook to win it tho
I’ve never seen Quinn Cook dive at somebody’s ankle in the name of hustle. His fellow Dukie Grayson Allen is a better comparison to Helluvadellavedova
Including the 2 Way Players, the Roster now stands at 19 players. Take away the two 2 Way Players and you are still over the 15 player limit, by 2. Going to be a very interesting Training Camp for sure.

Switch Davis and Ellis at SG,move Delly to PG behind Quinn,move Murray to SF, move sabonis to PF and trade Barnes, Holmes and SF moneke for a good young Center and a expiring contract. That’s what a would do
Really like the moves the Kings have made. I expect them to end their playoff draught this year.
Also maybe find a better starting SG ( Huerter and Monk are good 6th men) Trade Barnes, Holmes,Davis and okpala for a young center and SG and a bad contract. Waive moneke. Starters. PG.Fox SG? SF.Murray PF. Sabonis C.?
