It shouldn't matter, but you never know it could. It's been posted in this thread that Tyreke was upset that the Kings viewed Cousins as a more important piece than him.

No, and yes.

They have zero cap flexibility as the cap hold for Tyreke is taking up all of their cap space.

But if Cousins gets a max deal, the cap hit won't come into play until next season. Like Jrue Holiday did in Philly, Cousins can get the extension now, but it would be for the four or five seasons after this coming season.

I think he stays now that Iggy's offer was pulled by Sac.
Jimmy F. will get moved and Ben Mc won't start.

I'd love to be in Dell's head..or in his office right now. I'd assume they are starting to get irritated after how far they went to woo him. Or at least, I know I am. :)

I have this mental picture of Dell assuming the roll of Brad Pitt (Billy Bean) in Money Ball....:hihi:

Is this what Phoenix fans went through last year with Eric Gordon?

At least Gordon came out and said he wanted to be in Phoenix so it was better for them, Tyreke we dont know where he wants to be but from rumors it seems Sac over New Orleans.

Reke wants to play in Sac-Town, it is what it is

Tyreke is doing exactly what EG should have done.

Saying nothing, but letting it float out there that he wouldn't mind staying, on the chance that Sac matches. If they don't match, no one here will care about those rumors. If he blisters Sac, and they match, then he's persona non grata in Sactown.

He's being smart.

Ding Ding Ding!

I think he still ends up here with a S&T.

Looks like mayo is about to sign a multi year contract with the bucks.

I'm going cut grass, hopefully something of substance would have happened when I get back.

dont count on it.. also, can you get back to my pms please commish.. i really want to know about granger for my scoring options

My concern is that Reke's agent might be saying "We'll sign your offer vs NOLA's if you hike it up, otherwise we're signing with NOLA". Kings might just eat the contract structure in that scenario and elect to match ours vs. signing his. Which would do nothing but screw with us.

Good post. And on the positive side, I learned a new Latin phrase today!

Unless you're cutting grass for the next 7-10 days...

Not doomed at all. Guys fall through the cracks every offseason and you're probably better off waiting on them for cheap, short term deals than overpaying a guy who's a decent hand at best.

This. Sac would likely prefer to sign him on their terms than match ours, since Demps apparently cranked up the pain on the contract structure.

if was true this contract struture, Demps don't think in sign and trade

Im leaning towards him staying with the kings when it's all said and done. I think he will take a little less to stay in Sacramento. Crazy as it sounds but oh well. A guy has now taken less $$$ to stay in Sacramento. OUCH that hurts. (If it happens)

Tyreke Evans may never sign the Pelicans' reported four-year, $44 million offer sheet, according to Adrian Wojnarowski, who describes the situation as "fluid."

The Kings could present Evans with an acceptable contract and thus preempt the Pelicans' offer sheet, and it's possible that another team could jump into the fray. One of many complications is that New Orleans would need more cap space for Evans' offer sheet -- they have until Friday to either waive Robin Lopez or guarantee his contract for the next two seasons, though there's enough trade interest that it's considered "unlikely" the Pelicans will waive him.

It looks like he is not coming. It is time to move on. I hope we can pick up Brewer and Copeland at SF and go to bat with what we have, which would still be much improved. Worse case scenario is we trade our starting center then get left at the altar by Evans.

What I like about this thread is that every other page people repeat the same info.

What woj said there could also indicate a S&T. Meaning he won't ever sign out offer. Could mean a few diff things. Key word. FLUID. Also this tweet is old news about 2-3 pages back.
