6'4 without shoes for Tyreke, 6'5.25" with shoes.

I would rather Evans as a 6th man playing all 3 guard positions. But No telling what Monty or Dell want to do with him.
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
Maybe I'm overthinking it. I'm still getting the feeling that Gordon could still be here even if we sign a guy like Evans. And if you do a sign and trade with a RFA, you may be able to get him on a better deal than trying to outbbid other teams. It probably doesn't make sense if we get rid of Gordon but if we do decide to keep him, it makes it very crowed back there.
I think I like Iggy at the 3 better and a healthy Gordon at the 2 better.
I realize the latter is a mystical creature.
If Tyreke has improved his jumpshot to an average level I'd take him and his reduced price over Gordon. But I want a shooter at 2 next to Holiday.
I also liked the idea of having a great defensive backcourt, and we know Evans doesn't play it.
i really don't think reke could play the 3 on this team, mainly because gordon is already 6'3". it helps jrue is 6'4" but thats still giving up some serious height at the 2 & 3

Depends on the team.
His wingspan is 6'11....
so in what was possibly AFA's last game as a new orleans basketball player, he had 16 & 20.
...just to be "that guy"
Honestly Aminu would be good as our Backup SF. Picture this:
Gordon goes down with injury(easy to picture).
Slide Evans to SG and Aminu starts at #3. Makes perfect sense.

Article about Tyreke's move to the 3 around when it happened.
He really isn't good off the ball at all.
I'm sure we can get the ball in his hands..
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Did he change his name? I'm just wondering because I don't see a post from him in this thread. Did Hornetguru faint or something? LOL!
When did we become such an awesome team? It's like we are looking to add all the players I would love to add to the team! I am totally loving this offseason thus far.
Andre Iguodala
Tyreke Evans
Chase Budinger
Chris Copeland
Kevin Martin
Like the article stated, his effectiveness off the ball will ultimately depend on whether Evans continues to improve his shooting.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
I really don't want to risk the future of the franchise on whether or not Tyreke Evans learns how to shoot...
I don't want Evans. And something tells me after their meeting with him, Dell and Monty won't want him either. Iggy please.
We are risking it on whether or not AD gets better and Gordon stays healthy. Evans learning to shoot is the easiest of the 3. lol
What worries me is his ability to play with Jrue. Evans isn't a 3 point shooter and can't really space the floor for Jrue. Their slashing abilities overlap and both require the ball to function well.
My point is, if we're hoping for Evans to improve his 3 pointer in order for us to be great and not a mediocre team, then I'd rather not. Evans at the 3 will demand for him to become a better shooter.
Im going to assume you mean AR, not AD.
Support Louisiana businesses.
Nope. AD. It's not a guarantee. I believe he will be great, but he has to stay on the court more and get better on defense and with his face up game.
yeah, but how often with Jrue and Gordon on the court? I don't think it's good fit at all.

Jrue is actually a more than serviceable 3pt shooter. People don't touch on this. He doesn't just do the kicking out. He can actually have the ball kicked out to him and knock the shot down.
Jrue is very rare player in that he can do a little bit of everything. He can shoot. He can pass. He can defend. He can rebound.
I think he can really make our team better.
It looks like the pelicans are interested in all of them. So we gotta at least get one! lol
