"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.'"

If they want Evans to replace Gordon there has to be another move made for the starting lineup. There is no way they go through all the trouble to get Jrue, only to flank him with Evans and Aminu. No way.
This is perplexing. Have to be for him to play the 3 or come off the bench.
If this guy will come for a lot less than Iguodala, I say lets take Evans! If he's meeting with us, then he must not mind playing the 3. This bench talk is crazy! If he comes here he will be the starting small forward or we will be moving Gordon at some point. I would much rather Evans and another cheap 3 that can do what he can not. If we can get a bigger, rebounding, good shooting defender for cheap to be his backup, then where do I sign! Add Tyreke Evans and Earl Clark instead of Andre Iguodala and Darius Miller as our two main small forwards. I like the sound of that!
Well... we know for sure that Gordon won't play a full season, so we'll need a SG that can step in and start. I think Iggy will return to Denver anyway, so I don't mind Reke at SG and guys like Webster, Wright and Copeland to play the 3.
Agree, Evans would be a pretty bad fit. At the very least our SF needs to be able to shoot or play lockdown D, which Evans does neither of. Considering he's not very good off the ball and we already have 2 ball dominant guards better than him, potentially a 3rd guy stepping up to be a scorer in Davis, and Evans would have to play out of position...yeah giving the $$ he will command to a guy who does not fit at all is a terrible idea, and us going after him doesn't make much sense
Why would you not want the extra shooter/defender instead of using our cap on a completely unnecessary 3rd scorer/ballhandler who cant space the floor and who's style clashes with our 2 best players. As a 6th man, sure but we have Rivers coming up, and Ryno & maybe Greivis off the bench
I dont think I have a better b-ball mind than Dell, or even Jeff Bower or any NBA GM really, but pro GMs have made tons of mistakes..Im sure Dell has his reasons but outside of being a 6th man, which I kinda doubt Evans would accept, I cant see how it's a good fit

As @ESPNSteinLine reported, Pelicans will meet with Tyreke Evans late tonight. Told they will have an offer sheet in hand--a big one.
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
wow!!! This is exciting!!!!
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
This better not mean the end of Gordon then.
I love how we are the only team mentioned that is pursuing Evans. We get first dibs on the free agent I kind of like the most. He is still young, extremely talented, and may come here on a deal that won't break the bank. 20-5-5 is unheard of as a rookie. Lebron's shot wasn't the greatest when he first started and is starting to get a whole lot better. At least he is working on it and his form looks a lot better.
Any idea where they are meeting? New Orleans or Sacramento?
