As @ESPNSteinLine reported, Pelicans will meet with Tyreke Evans late tonight. Told they will have an offer sheet in hand--a big one.

Very scary. Not someone I would pay huge salary to.

From Yahoo:

While NO will make big offer tonight, sources close to SAC Tyreke Evans say he will do his due diligence with long list & Kings still in mix

This has to be the most exciting free agency period in the history of the franchise, well at least since coming to NOLA! All the names floating around and one of the top guys IMO with us having a rumored offer sheet ready for him! Don't let him leave the room till he signs Dell!

**edit: agrees to it cause he can't sign just yet!

I guess you're not feeling Tyreke at the 3 WITH Gordon, eh? I mean, I wouldn't mind Tyreke as a Gordon replacement either, but we'll see what transpires.

Like others, I have a hard time imagining Holliday, Gordon, and Evans on the court at the same time. If David Aldridge's tweet is true (that we intend to make Evans a fat offer), that suggests to me that Demps has plans to move Gordon. Yet that doesn't make sense either, because (1) Gordon seems healthier and happier than ever now, and (2) his trade value seems pretty low after an injury-plagued season. Maybe the plan is to have Evans come off the bench, while seeing how the chemistry works out on the new roster. If Gordon plays well, he could still be used as a trade chip later in the season.

One thing is for sure: something interesting is brewing here. It's got my attention for sure!

So sign Tyreke, and S&T Gordon for Iggy.

Wouldn't hate this, but we'd have spacing problems since Tyreke isn't a very good shooter.

The issue I have with it is that we seem to be moving Gordon at his healthiest and happiest, for pennies on the dollar (essentially cap space in that deal).

I hope everybody knows Evens doesn't have the best court-vision and can't really past that well

Well someone just posted we are trying to move EG for Derozan

Free agency has been open for 15 minutes. Let's see what happens in the morning.

Heh.

Terrible doesn't even describe how bad that move would be. Derozan does nothing but score and has no outside shot. He along with Evans would provide no spacing for Jrue to operate.

I thought the Raps were trying to move Derozan for Eric BLEDSOE.. ?

Just so I know, can offer sheets be signed now or only verbal accepts until July 10th

Can only be verbally accepted. On another note what is our cap situation? Can we sign Evans outright if we sign him for around9 a year or would it have to be a sign and trade?

No, not Eric Gordon its Eric Bledsoe

Adam Delgado ?@RealAdamDelgado 1m
Sources are saying @TyrekeEvans would be used at SF. Helps out with the confusion of the Pelicans having so many guards.

Unless we cut Lopez (which we have until July 5th I believe) th most we can offer is ~6 million unless its a sign and trade.

That means we are keeping EG from this standpoint, and I would be fine with him as a SF

Anyone else worried about Tyreke's size at the 3?

Why we offered Tyreke a contract before Iggy is beyond me.

Getting Evans is a lot easier and more realistic

Not even a little. He's strong and long as hell. If he buys into our scheme and starts to put effort into that side of the ball he could be a monster. A big if but one worth looking at.

But he really does not play the 3 (or at least has not done so very effectively). Seems like a big gamble.

I'm worried about his size, him being so ball dominant, his weak jumper, his weak defense, etc, BUT he's very talented and he's been stuck in Sac town. You never know, we look to be developing one hell of a culture here and maybe Monty fixes his problems. I'd be fine with him, as long as the contract is reasonable. I just don't see why Sacramento wouldn't match any contract under ~10 million.

I never pictured him as long, but I do recall his strength. I'm just trying to imagine him going against KD, that's all.

He has a 6'11" wingspan. He's pretty similar to Iguodala when it comes to size.

I think this is what it boils down to. Also still gives us the option to sign another SF to the MLE while we develop Miller.

That nightmare holds for 90% of the league's SF's anyway.

He didnt have AD in the front court to help though.. nor a solid team around him... and a defensive coach either

I like Reke as a signing for a team that needs a scorer, but not sure about his fit here if Gordon stays.
