Also to clarify, he would AGREE to sign the offer sheet. He couldn't officially sign until July 10. Evans meets w/ Pistons and Kings today

Just saw that. Anyone even know who that is?

BINGO! Everybody knows he could be a special player but his body continues to fail him... ever since... what? high school?

In the back of my mind I feel once EG made that comment about playing in Phoenix, Dell signed EG to that max deal so that he can deal him later. He wanted to get something in return for him rather than let him walk to Phoenix last summer. I honestly feel that EG wasn't in our long term plans. I just hope that these injuries doesn't hinder our ability to move him.

I love the dude's game I just don't think we'll ever get to see it on full display.

The thing is, even with an all-star next to him, he has proved he can't stay on the court. Are you willing to take a chance an pay EG10 all of that money knowing this might be another year where he doesn't play much or would you pay Reke 11 mill knowing he's going to show up.

Dude that's 1 million less we were gonna offer Iggy do you actually think he is worth that much

This is really exciting... Keep in mind that he is a bleacher report guy, so let's keep that in perspective, but he does have ties to the Kings. I'll be following his twitter for the rest of the day, for sure.

Well we will see:huh:

Let the games begin!!

Bleacher report automatically spells "not trusted." However, he did work for the Sacramento Bee previously. I guess we will see.

Yeah, but he used to work with the Sacramento Bee, NBA.com, and NBC Sports according to his profile. He's not "just" a BR guy apparently.

My judgment will come when I see the contract. Anything more than $10 million a year and I'll be questioning it. I'm hoping for $8-9 million annually.

The New Orleans Pelicans made a lucrative, four-year offer to Tyreke Evans in last night's meeting. Story to come.

Mmm wonder how you say you might sign while going to visit other teams. Maybe your thinking unless other teams offer more $, your leaning toward Pelicans.

Give me 4 years 32-38 million and I'll be okay.

I bet we see something like 4-44 or 4-48, but I'm hoping for less.

That'd be less than I feared. More than I hoped.

That's not that bad projecting forward... I want less but I mean, not that much less.

He's probably worth $8 million annually right now. If he continues the track of improvement he's been on the past 3 years, then he could easily be worth more.

He should come cheaper than Iggy. Perhaps we are going strongly for him in order to keep Lopez (a decent starting bid) and Gravy for better trade option. Instead of going all in on Iggy and losing Lopez and a bad trade for Gravy to clear up cap space.

Since we're throwing money at him and have good potential sign and trade options, I don't see how he signs somewhere else...

Well we want him he is probably coming here for a lucrative price

If true, as others have said, there must be a deal in place to send Gordon packing.
