Interesting I wonder what those numbers look like.

If so, that probably explains the meeting. They'd need to convince him to sign their deal vs ours, because ours would basically ruin their salary cap (if it works in the same way).

Can't do a poison pill like that. That is reserved for 2nd rounders (i.e. non-guaranteed contracts) on their second contract. He was a 1st rounder.

When is he gonna sign the d@mn offer sheet!

It's been like 24 hrs, give the guy a minute to decide the next 4 yrs of his life.

I think he can't until the 10th

I don't know what I want, but I really want to know what happens!

Of course elves are old! Plus I have a bit of a Christmas fetish. :)

RT @ReggieMillerTNT: Pelicans reportedly offer Tyreke Evans 4yr $40-48 million, I need to get back in gym......

Is the pelicans front office n some ppl on this board the only ones that think this is a good offer for Evans...

He can't sign the offer sheet until the 10th, why would he give an "agreement" on the 1st?

Yeah I mean agree to the offer sheet!! C'mon man sign the thing already!!

May or may not be good, but Miller's a cruddy analyst. I don't put much stock in that.

Can we decline Lopez and then re-sign him like we were thinking they could have done with Smith?
Like instead of 2 years 10.5M not guaranteed (currently before July 5) he gets a 4 year deal 21M deal guaranteed?

Easy to forget the Kings element in all this. No matter what we offered, Kings could match anyway.

Guess I got roped into the talk that they wouldn't match him.

I know this sounds stupid, but maybe the Kings said they wouldnt match in hopes that teams would try to get him on the cheap (hence they would be able to match the cheaper contract). If so, said plan backfired... Its a stupid notion, but I wouldnt put anything past Sactown reguardless of ownership.

I hear you but it's just not only him, seems everyone who has a comment is laughing at the offer. I wasn't thinking of the analyst part, but his hall of fame basketball career. Anyway, I'm just a fan, if he becomes a Pelican at that price, it's not my $.

Why not just offer GV in a sign and trade and call it a day?

let dell work his magic.

Looks like Gordon may get traded after all?

No, if we decline Lopez, we cant sign him for a year per the CBA

via rotoworld...

Tyreke Evans reportedly came away encouraged about his future in Sacramento after meeting with the Kings on Monday, and is on his way to meet with the Hawks in Atlanta on Tuesday.

Kings ownership re-affirmed their interest in keeping Evans but there are still no indications that they will match offers. For his part, Evans likes playing in Sacramento but he's going to have to convince management that he can play hard, pass the ball and run a team before they match a big offer.

so... what player or combo of players do you think is plan B if the Kings match? Sacramento could also be posturing to get something out of a sign and trade. I'd offer GV, because we need the cap space anyway. Atlanta could overpay for Evans even more with their ridiculous cap space and no big names realistically wanting to go to their team.

I assume we could with Smith because he was on the roster before that CBA rule?

Thanks BTW

Two questions.

Could Sacramento sign Evans right now if they wanted to? Or do they have to wait until the 10th as well?

Could Dell mention Jrue in the meeting last night at all? I assume not.

i have been about getting Evans for a couple of years and even i am cringing a little at the offer. Something tells me that the contract number is way
off like it was in the Anderson signing at first. I don't think we can give the details yet anyways.
