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

[tyler]

No, not Eric Gordon its Eric Bledsoe

[The JNR]

I think the OP of that was mistaken and it was for Bledsoe

No one's listening bro. Make it all caps in large red font.

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.

[GeauxPelicans]

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?

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.

[Snarly]

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

Whose going to shoot and spread the floor?

Austin Rivers.....

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

[Vinny6420]

Its a damn false reporting, the OP mistaken EG for Eric Bledsoe

[shanetrain93]

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

[Pantazis76]

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

WHY DELL WHY

Getting Evans is a lot easier and more realistic

[Nola3]

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.

[Pantazis76]

Yeh but wouldn't you try with iggy atleast

[PELICANSFAN]

Getting Evans is a lot easier and more realistic

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

[GeauxPelicans]

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.

[shanetrain93]

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.

[Bee-Fense]

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

[Topdawg26]

He's the same size as Iggy!

[Pantazis76]

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.

7 foot wingspan.

[Mythrol]

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.

Ahh. Well, that makes me feel much better, haha.

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

[Vinny6420]

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

[MonsterMash]

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