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

[Inner_GI]

I hate that we think Evans is anything more than a 6-8 million dollar player. We will take the good work we did with Jrue and destroy it with Evans at that price.

[RaisingTheBar]

11 mill a year is still a little high to me.

Per the offer, numbers often get bloated when coming from player side. Was later told $44 million; could be more with incentives etc. Big #

So don't worry guys, it sounds like Evans' camp is trying to inflate the numbers to put media pressure on Demps. I would go with the originally reported 4 years/$40 million. Incentives could bring it to $44 million.

[Bee-Fense]

I will be content with 40. Slightly concerned at 44. Mad at 48.

Still too much.

wut

[HornetGuru]

10 million a year for a 6"6 guard with lightning handles, great passer, good rebounder, incredible finisher and an improving jumpshot? yall are nuts

[tyler]

how is 11 million for a 23 year old guard who is capable of 20-6-5 too much?

HE DID THAT HIS ROOKIe SEASON... what has his number been the last two years its been declining and I doubt he put up those numbers whit a team filled with help

Good Bye Eric!.

FAIR.

[Adam the Legend]

Blergh. That's an awful lot of scratch for a guy that has seen his game regress since he won R.O.Y. Now, was that because of a lack of talent or being in a dysfunctional organization?

In Dell We Trust I suppose....

Feel exactly the same, except I would use another adjective instead of Mad.

Here come the threads.

Well what I guess I am failing to see is that you said defensively Davis was better at center than PF. This is saying per possession they were equal. Which one of these stats that tries to prove your point am I supposed to believe. Again I watched the game and it was my opinion that Davis struggled when he was defending starting caliber centers.

no, I'm saying defensively he was pretty much the same and offensively he was better, therefore being better overall.

I mean yeah, he'd struggle against Dwight, but in that situation I'd just have Anderson on Dwight and I'm not going to get too worried about an offense being run through Dwight Howard instead of James Harden or Steph Curry or whoever signs with.

[JJackisangry]

So... He is done whoring himself out? Is this confirmed?

First he is not a great passer he really don't rebound all that well and his jumpshot isn't all that...

[TheCoco]

I think we could live with 4/40, anything more than that is just ridiculous.

[da ThRONe]

I think it's too much, but welcome to the life of a small market team. You have to overpay potential or "headcases" and hope the player reaches said potential or mature.

[Spaniard]

Guys, his PER was good enough for 5th amongst all SG's. Behind only Dwayne Wade, Kobe Bryant, James Harden and Manu Ginobili. And he's 6'6 and 23 years old. I can only assume the Kings are a big reason this guy gets awfully underrated.
