If you look at the context of the response he said that Evans is still opening to signing with the Kings which is true. Kings haven't made their offer yet so it'll be dumb to burn any bridges now. For all we know, the Kings could offer him the same or better contract than the Pelicans.

For what it's worth, that guy said he doesn't think the Kings will retain Evans.

Why would the Kings offer him a better contract ??

Tyreke when asked why he hasn't committed yet:

"I want that thread on Pelicans Report to go over 100 pages."

Who really knows at this point. You can say the same thing about them pulling their offer to Iggy after 3 hour. No one know what the Kings are thinking right now.

Let me do my part then! ;)

Me likes.

I won't get excited until the 13th, or we do a S&T. I just don't understand how a franchise as devoid of talent as Sacramento is, would let a player as talented as Evans go. I'm on board now, and I hope they do, but I just don't think they do.

We got him

@SportsCenter: Tyreke Evans will sign four-year, $44 million offer sheet with New Orleans Pelicans. (via @ESPNSteinLine and @GoodmanESPN)

Good news...maybe. No story about the Kings? We'd be worse off if he signed and they matched.

Your move Sacramento!

Not if they match. Everybody has to relax because nothing will be settled until the 13th at the earliest.

If that's true it's great. I just wonder if he softened his stance about playing SF. Call his position whatever you want, I don't care as long as he's willing to guard the other teams SF on defense. Heck tell him he's the PG for all I care.

Not 100% true. It depends on whether the Kings agree a big contract with another free agent. If they do, they'd have to renounce his rights.

Whether ESPN's report is true or not is HUGE.

Once Tyreke verbally agrees, we have to commit to that. Which means we have to trade Lopez.

If he is still playing the field and has not given us a verbal commitment, we don't have to open up that cap space. Devil is in the details

Kings radio guy going off.

The good part is that while the details aren't privy to us commoners, the Supervillan knows what lurks in the hearts of men.

Well said. Lol

@ESPNSteinLine: RT @sam_amick: Safe to say Pelicans PG Greivis Vasquez - who has same agent as Tyreke Evans - is gettable in possible sign & trade

If you read the comments below this article, it seems that Evans was legitimately cleared, and the article's author has an axe to grind w/ Evans.

100 pages on tapatalk!!

Reke reminds me if Dwight Howard light

This whole situation is hard for me to comprehend. Last year, the Hornets made Gordon a fair offer (considering his injuries) and let the market decide his value. He felt offended by the Hornets FO.

Now, Evans' team, the Kings, if reports are to be believed, were shocked that at team would offer Evans more than $9 mil, (were they underestimating his value?) THEN went and offered Iggy basically a max contract, retracted it, mulled over Evans' worth.....and then there are some reports that Evans would prefer to stay in Sac.

Just blows my mind.

Mine too bruh. I'm at the point now where I'm ready to move on from this dude and make a run at Copeland and Wright... and AFA. Take that 11 mill and get 3 instead of 1.

That sports caster from CBS Sac radio LOVES Gravy. Said he would prefer the team with Gravy over Evans.

Got 10 posts a page? I stuck with default 20

As already said, I don't care anymore about any reports about Evans side.
If he was not ready to sign we would have already moved on (and it does not have to be public). What we are waiting for is Sac.
That's what is blocking us and also blocking us from trading Lopez (unless Dell knows they have no interest in him).

People need to stop reacting to anything that is public about Evans situation. Either Sac offers something as good to Evans, either we S&T at this point but the only thing we are sure of is that everything depends on Sac.

I'm just shocked that Gravy, who is hated here, is loved by Sac so much. He just said you add Gravy and this team becomes A LOT better.

Also a caller just said he loves Gravy because he does a lot of assist and is a good defender. Lol

The only reason i'm holding out hope upon hope is because this is clearly the Pelicans' first option. Option B,C, or D aren't likely to be as good. Maybe that's just my dumb brain trying to make sense of all this.

Gravy is not hated here and probably not loved there. It's just about needs and he fits their need a lot more than ours. It's as simple as that.
Sac has searched desperatily for a floor general for quite some time now. That's the one quality nobody can deny about Greivis.

Gravy is hated here? I honestly don't know anyone who hates that guy. I think people just think he's not the guy who's going to take us to where we want to go; or, he's a tradable piece who can net us someone else of need.
