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

Now it's $48 million?!

I'm not sure if I believe it's that much. If it was, he would have agreed then and there. I think 44 is the max we offer him.

Seems like no one really knows.

No!!!!!!!!!! Lolol

Here's a recently published article saying it's 4 years/$40 million, and he's coming off the bench at SF.

God help us if we are giving Tyreke Evans 48 million. I was upset with 4/40, now I'm PISSED at 4/48. Dell has lost his mind

I wonder if they can trade Gordon cleanly to a team with the cap space and maybe sign all 3 of Evans, Iggy and Budinger.

You could play Budinger basically whenever any of Jrue, Iggy or Evans sit because all 3 can defend 1-3 in stretches and handle the ball.

Would solve a lot of floor spacing issues. Budinger in that role essentially becomes our real 6th man (since I consider RYNO more of a "starter" since he plays more than Lopez).

Maybe his agent is leaking the numbers to drive up other offers... IDK

Why did my professor assign a test during the first two days of free agency.

I really can't see Dell going that high, especially with Loomis looking over his shoulder. Loomis is famous for setting a number and not budging. I'm more than sure he is preaching this approach to Dell right now.

His numbers last season were pretty good. If he signed him a year ago to this, then I'd be with you.

48 does seem extreme.

Hopefully we have a deal lined up with a cost-effective SF.

That's a ton and is overpaying, but I don't mind it.

We need to stop outbidding ourselves... Who the **** has that much capspace that is interested in him?

Agreed.

If the offer is actually 4 yrs 48 million it's time to get a new GM

rotoworld is saying 4 years 44 mil

All the teams that are bringing him in including his current team who can match the contract. Since he's a RFA, this has to be a strategic offer. Has to be more than what other teams will offers including Sacramento.

I absolutely would mind. That's an absurd price for Evans, absolutely ridiculous.


I thought 4/40 was a little high, but I would be ok with. I would not be ok with this offer. I hope those numbers are incorrect.

Man twitter is killing the Pelicans for offering Evans 10+ mil a year. The "general" public seemed to like the addition of Jrue.

how is 11 million for a 23 year old guard who is capable of 20-6-5 too much?

I want Evans... The price is a frightening factor though
