Doesn't mean that.

A potential SF?

For some reason I would rather keep Gordon. I think he's a more efficient scorer. I'm not high on Evans.

GAH!!!

SF right?

Going after Iggy or Evans. Glad we're trying to get some guys who can fill a need.

I'm really curious as to what plans they would have with him.

Is Gordon on his way out? Does Monty think he can get consistent defense out of him? What position will he play?

Sacramento tried Tyreke at SF... it didn't work well. He's a SG.

Woohoo. If this is about playing Evans at the three, i will crap my pants.

You're right. Man I would rather keep Gordon. I don't think Tyreke can be that go to scorer.

The thing I like about pursuing Evans is that I think we could get him for a lot cheaper than he's probably worth. Total buy low move.

Yeah I think this has to be for him to play 2...he's basically a bigger, worse shooting Gordon at his best. But he'll be cheaper and doesn't have the injury history.

Does anything work well in Sacramento though?

What's the difference? Your playing off the ball. It's not like they had a hell of a offensive scheme anyways in Sacramento!

I'm for this.

Do not want...but he is obviously very high on our board ughh

Tyreke Evans, Kevin Martin, Iggy... it appears they may have a potential Eric Gordon trade ready. I'm not sure what I think about that, but I guess we'll find out their plan pretty soon.

It is exciting.

Yeah, and if we are signing him as a 3, we are screwed.

Why? We need our 3 to shoot the 3 well and be a great defender. He does neither.

I personally can't stand Evans, but I trust Demps. He's just way to ball dominant, he doesn't shoot the 3 well, and doesn't play defense well. Man I hope Sacramento matches

I have a weird infatuation with Evans
Can't get his rookie year out my mind when he was getting to the rim at will
He might be just what we need
Or he might be a disaster
