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

[nolaslim213]

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

Nobody has prospered under the Kings. How is he supposed to grow as a player when his coaches all sucked, the management sucked, and the ownership sucked! The FACT is that this kid has MAJOR talent, and I trust that Monty can bring some of that out in him. I expect him to thrive here.

[Jackaveli]

RT @mr_jasonjones: I'm told the Evans offer sheet is worth between $44-$50 million based on incentives. Numbers not solid, but range makes sense.

[Topdawg26]

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

Right 11 mil is a little high!

[NMThreeMVP]

The difference between 4/40 and 4/44 is $1m per year. That's like Lance Thomas. I'm not concerned.

When this deal allows us to move our current SG who's getting paid $14m a year and is unreliable, I'll consider $11m for Tyreke to be a big win. Tyreke and Gordon have accomplished the exact same thing in the league: 1 exceptional season, no All Star appearances.

Here come the threads.

Lol

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.

PER don't mean nothing... AD had one of the best PER but put him One on One with other nice PF he wont be able to do anything

[Inner_GI]

Well, this sucks. It almost negated the good work of getting Jrue.

[DroopyDawg]

We paid Gordon 15 mill for 42 games. I'll take Reke at 11 mil for 70+ (if not all 82).

I almost made a meme about the money (relatively speaking) people are arguing about

Yea Ig Ej being invited to be apart of team USA doesn't mean anything

Do it.

[DavidStern]

Evans is very bad player. No jump shot, needs ball in his hands to be productive... I don't know what Pelicans GM is thinking.

do you guys trust this site? it says we signed him for the 4/44

Well when I value Evans at a max of 8 million, 11 million a season it just outrageous to me.

[Topdawg26]

I guess it beats like 14-16 mil for Iggy. At least we saved 3-5 mil from that deal.

I just dont think he fits for us

[BallSoHard]

Yeah, but in the end, it doesn't matter what any of us value him at. I'm just going to be excited we have a young guy with a ton of talent we added on to the team if we get him.

[tdcreator]

I think a player worth over 10 million should at least be an occasional all star and I don't think tyreke is that. Just a personal opinion. If we get him I hope I'm wrong.

In fairness, almost all talking heads were putting his value in the $8-10 range. So, if we paid 11, then we're not that far off the range. $1 million per season (aka Lance Thomas) isn't going to make or break us. Think BIG picture.

[jcamp5]

I bet his agent is leaking figures. I think it's $40mil with incentives that could reach $44.

Not only that but for RFA you have to go a little outside of that range.

[DroopyDawg]

A backcourt trio of Jrue, Reke and Austin... sheez there better be some ankle tape ready!

I would include Gordon but he might be on his way out.

Edit - and Pierre jackson has some sick handles too. Should be fun to watch if nothing else.

[AD23forMVP]

The way I look at it, we may be overpaying but it isn't a contract that we will be desperate to move. That makes it ok by me.

I'm thinking. I don't think Evans is a good NBA player.

[ramsters60]

this might be a foolish thought, but to me its not as much about what we pay Evans as it is what we have left to pay others.....we still don't know what the master plan really encompasses.....I just know they have one....
