Pelicans to meet with Tyreke Evans (offer has been made)

I don't think tyreke is an upgrade to Gordon and 11 million is WAY to much.

Lord please bring Reke to the n.o.....me personally.....I don't see this move meaning we def getting rid of Gordon. Don't see it. Never know tho.

I agree I'd rather take the risk with EGs health vs giving Tyreke 11 mill to replace him or struggle at the 3.

average comes to 1.33 ppp, 74% from the field, 6.1% TOV%

Had 85 such possessions last year, averaged 1.38ppp, ranked 18th in NBA

Who would we trade to Sac? Vasquez doesn't really make sense for them.

His tweets sound a lot like Tyrann Mathieu's.

Quoting Travis Porter?

Chances Tyreke signs w/ NOLA low if they plan on using him at SF. Source close to Evans says Reke won't "go anywhere for any amount as a 3."

Could be an interesting tweet, not sure on the source

I don't buy it. There has to be strong interests on his part if he chose to meet with us first. I think people who are bringing up the SF talk are speculating based on the current personnel on the roster. I don't think anyone in the media has an idea of what our plans are for Evans just yet. I think I'd wait for a more credible source before I'd run with the statement.

Don't know if it's been posted but...

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

The Pelicans could acquire restricted free agent Tyreke Evans via a sign-and-trade in exchances for Greivis Vasquez or Eric Gordon, per the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
The Pelicans met with Evans early Monday morning while the Kings haven't really done anything to help their chances in keeping the former Rookie of the Year. Sacramento selected shooting guard Ben McLemore, but they do have the room to bring Evans back. As for the Pelicans, they have a massive surplus at point guard with the acquisition of Jrue Holiday.

Dell wouldn't sell him on the idea of being a "small forward" . He would sell him on the ability to be another creator on a team that will push the pace and have Anthony Davis rim running while Ryan Anderson offers him an elite kick out option

Dell knows exactly what he is doing. Something has been brewing behind the scenes since the Nerlens trade whether it's GV, Gordon or both being shipped. I won't get any work done this week.

Tell me about it... I don't know what's gonna happen but I have full faith in Dell at this point. I hope I'm not setting myself up for disappointment here, but I'm starting to get a feeling that this offseason will surpass our wildest expectations :D

So off topic:

Smith wasn't declined?
This leaves Lopez, Roberts, Harris and Thomas to make room for a 'High' level FA.

Correct. Don't forget Vasquez too, who would likely be traded. Doing all those things gets you back to having about 13.5 mil in cap room.

if they did a sign & trade it would probably be for Vasquez since I doubt they would want Gordon's contract on the books when they just drafted their SG of the future in Ben McLemore

A sign and trade with Gordon only decreases his value. Also I cannot say this enough. I'd rather Gordon if Evans will command that money. Plus that money could go to iggy who is a better fit.

Love the idea of "being a push the pace" type team.

This, 3 guards

Tyreke Evans:
$11 million/year
Height: 6'6
23 years old
15.2 PPG
47.8% FG%
33.8% 3PT%
77.5 FT%
4.4 rebounds
3.5 assists
1.4 steals
2.0 TO
PER: 18.16....good enough for 5th amongst all SG's in the league


Eric Gordon:
$14+ million/year
Height: 6'3
24 years old
17 PPG
40.2% FG%
32.4% 3PT%
84.2% FT%
1.8 rebounds
3.3 assists
1.1 steals
2.8 TO
PER: 15.43.....good enough for 14th amongst all SG's

I mean, I can definitely see why we would be interested. Throw in the attitude and knee problem, and it's pretty much a no brainer. I just don't know what they are going to do with Gordon.
