Rotoworld reporting form the Bee that it seems they won't match.

If he agrees its gonna be a long week and a half, waiting until the 13th to see if Kings match.

They usually come right out and say.

According to that rotoworld article they already did.

[Hard'n'DaPaint]

Are we stuck until Evans makes his decision? I mean can we try to sign Brewer at the same time for example?
Webster is gone now...

[Vinny6420]

Demps.. demps.. demps... smh

No, Rotoworld is just referring to speculation by Sac reporters. Nothing from any source or the team. I'd imagine he'd have to agree before they go there.

What's the rush? Can't do much until the 10th anyways.

Talking and offering the money to other FA's...

[Pelicantoo]

Does this remind anyone of last year's 3 guard lineup on steroids? Everyone seemed to be clamoring for more Gordon, Vazquez, Roberts at the end of last season. Gimmie some Holiday, Evans, Gordon.

Also, while only one is "elite" at shooting, how often do teams have 5 guys who can space the floor and have respectable jump shots. Jrue, Gordon, Evans, Anderson, Davis is a beast to guard.... remember, everyone's worried about floor spacing with evans but this is really the opposite of the normal model, with the guards diving to the hoop and the bigs popping out for jumpers. Lineups like these take bigs like hibbert out of the game defensively.

Just the feeling that some players we could have offered a contract to, are off the market on the 2nd day of free agency, like Webster.

Probably because we have to figure out what to do with Lopez by the 5th or his contract becomes guaranteed.

and i'm sure they Told Tyreke for this to become a reality we need to know by the 4th.

Makes me feel a little better about over paying for Tyreke

And while you're doing that another team tells them that they are priority one and actuallys offers them. Then you lose out on any player. Boom.

Of course they want to rush as much as possible. There's a wide gap between done and 'official.'

With regard to out persuit of a middling SF free agent, I actually think it's a good thing for us to let the market play out for a few more days. You could pay 4.5 mil or so for someone like Wright, or hold off and get someone like Budinger or Brewer for 3mil.

Please. Do phones not work when you're negotiating? Whether Tyreke says he's signing with us today or tomorrow they know they weren't priority. Means the same thing if i offer you 2 million more today and you agree versus saying if Tyreke doesn't sign i'll offer you million more. I'm sure they're going to hold out for that call for the extra 2 million. I'm sure Tyreke will get back to us in a timely manner. I completely understand that there's a wide gap, but there's also a lot of wiggle room.

I wonder who else we will woo this week? This weekend is Essence weekend!
