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

How many of you have stepped back from the keyboard and realized how fantastic a time it is to be a Pelican fan? I mean the future is so bright I gotta wear shades right now!! I am so excited right now!!!!!!

Bulls also just let Hamilton walk. I think it's plausible.

I'm liking the tyreke deal more and more after seeing these contracts today

Am I the only one questioning getting Deng? I mean his minutes per game for his career is way above average, and had injuries...

Hey, don't get me wrong, I think it's a hysterically horrible idea for them. I think it's the basketball equivalent of crumbling up 20 dollar bills and throwing them in the toilet, but this is the KINGS. I'd bet Iggy went hunting for a max and found a buyer.

No. He's been through the Thibs meat grinder. I'd be concerned. That said, he's a tough SOB. Difficult to know where he's at.

I think he is on last year of contract.

Raj Sharan ‏@Raj_Sharan 1m

Iguodala told @LesShapiro this yr he'd like to play PG. Got some time there w/Lawson out and played well including triple-double vs. Spurs

This made me burst out laughing for some reason.

Did Chase sign somewhere or is he still out there? Webster signed Iggy is gone. Who is left for us to look at the three.

Omri Casspi (R)
Austin Daye (R)
Luke Babbitt


those the only ones under 25 years old.....We really need to push for Mr. Brewer

I did question it but it is a good expiring

No he'll be fine

The minutes are high due to thibs and a bad bench

I really hope we somehow pull off trading Gordon to the Bulls for Butler and whatever salary to make it work. Rose, Gordon, and Deng is as good as any in the NBA and Gordon fits perfect next to Rose. Holiday/Evans/Butler would be a huge lineup with insane potential to become the best in the NBA.

Kings could be trying to sign Evans to trade Mclemore for Deng. Never know.

I'll admit. It's a great feeling to be worried about what big-name free agent we're gonna sign, compared to the issues from just over a year ago. Crazy.

Anybody bring up that the Kings reportedly are targeting Andre Iguodala. Gotta help our chances. Also I don't care about having too many guards. If Gordon is healthy and productive why not keep him. No reason to force him out the door. Tyreke is pretty much just us hedging our bet and if all of our guards (Reke, Jrue, Gordon, Rivers etc...) work out it's a good problem to have.

PM Joe Gerrity and he will change it for you.
Have a few names for him so that he can change it to what you want.

that's not a bad contract. I hope we just don't sit around waiting Evans while everyone else gets signed. I do think the minute Dale has verbal contract excepted from Evans camp dominoes will fall fast and hard.

Based on quotes, I believe we made another move during the draft or shortly thereafter and the move involved a starting SF.

Pure speculation but doesn't this quote by Demps get you wondering? I dont know how you can keep this under wraps for this long, but when the Jrue deal is finalized it may have a surprise or be something completely separate.

I can tell you guys as much as I can. . . . I just can't speak on certain things now. Some things are still in the mix. Nothing has been finalized."

The Supervillain has us wrapped around his lil' finger.

So if they trade Gordon for Deng, how does this help their cap situation with getting Evans?
If that's the case it is purely just to dump Gordon's salary and IMO having Deng for one season doesn't accomplish much.

Reports say Kings are leaning against matching and Tyreke is leaning towards accepting.

AKA Tyreke signs the offer sheet and the Kings decline to match.

For anyone who misreads that like I did lol
