Well yeah, I mean I guess your right, some bloggers, reporters, and myself are making this all up and you are spot on. By the way, how do you know it was only 3 hours?

I really don't but it wasn't long after. It was 3 hours after the report broke out that the Kings rescinded their offer. The Sac Bee beat writer claims that the Kings pulled their offer because Iggy "wavered" about joining a rebuilding team. I guess that translates into being unsure. Hence the reason why he probably needed some time to think about it. Whatever the reason is, I don't really care. At the end of the day, The Kings are no longer in pursuit of Iguodala and it'll affect us in some shape or form.
I am saying that (just like you or me) he was presented a better offer than his current one, he went to his employer with the offer in hand; asking if they could match the money. You and I would do the same thing if we were to find new employment. Only in the basketball industry things are less discrete, so he didn't have the luxury that you and I have. But he was doing just that.
Unless of course they are taking a gamble that the Kings don’t sign.
I hope it’s a S&T involving Lopez and Vasquez as both can be replaced.
I just hope no other players are involved except the unguaranteed players such as Harris, Roberts and Thomas.
I’m good with getting a defensive big man that will just change shots and rebound with no offensive game on the cheap to play 10-15 minutes.
However I still think after signing Evans (if it ever does happen) we won’t have enough money for a starting SF like Wright, Brewer, Copeland or Ingles.

With the sign and trade agreed to, Demps can now try to use nonguaranteed contracts and about
$4.5m in cap space in other deals. - 42
evans will sign with the pels. expect to trade rivers/vasquez. starting lineup will be jrue, gordon, evans, davis, lopez.......#insideinfo #bookit
aminu will start at the three
If I'm not mistaken we already have cap holds for the empty spots. So all we'd have to go is bring in some league min. Guys to fill the spots. One of those guys I hope is Amudson (sp?). If we are getting rid of Lopez we really need him for 10-15 min a game.
While it may be rumors, it certainly is logical. Why would they go through all the time of meeting him and constructing a contract to pull it? They gave him the offer expecting him to agree and he did not agree immediately as they thought, so they pulled it. It appears they did not want it used to shop.
I really hate that you need to do sign and trades with unrestricted FA. We ar basically spending 40+ million and having to give away 2 assets.
I know we need to make room, but it would be nice to acquire some picks or players on different trades t make this work.
Real GM is saying Blazers are involved as well. Is there any truth to this or am I late to the party?
Sounds like there may be something to this....
Per @ailene_voisin report on Kings/NO trade, no deal done but scenario would send Robin Lopez to Portland, Vasquez to Sac, Evans to Pelicans

They are saying that Portland would receive Lopez and not send anything back. Firstly, why is it being labeled as a 3-way trade if that's true? Secondly, are you telling me Demps can't find 1 team that would give us a 2nd round pick? At least then we'd have a $5 million TPE. I'd demand Jeff Withey from Portland. They don't need him.
Not sure if this cheesy nickname has found it's way on the board but...Flyreke Heavens
He already has a nickname. It's "Reke Havok" and "Too Easy"...
Looking at Tyrekes splits from last season, he shot 38% at home and 29% on the road from three.
