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

[The Emperor]

In the grand scheme of things, "per year" is pointless for a guy his age. It would be unrealistic for Iggy to command 7 mil after that contract is up. Denver has all the advantage.

I see what you're saying

Andre will still be good at 32/33.

[Alvis]

As for the offers given to Iggy I guess it all depends on who gets the options and when.
A team option 5th year is probably not as important as 1.5M/year ... a player option though is something clearly different.

Very good point. If Denver's offer gives them the right to the option, then the Kings deal will obviously be better.

We're getting Deng. That's happening.

I just haven't figured out if we're keeping him or if it will be a three way.

Deal makes too much sense not to happen. Chicago can limit Gordon's minutes til playoffs. They have Butler and just signed Dunlevey at SF. Before the draft, Deng and Gordon were both "very available", now you don't hear anything about either. Gordon and Rose are former teammates. Bulls just released Rip Hamilton. We've got a $44m offer out to a 23 year old SG...

Tea leaves...

No it's not. It's not only Gordon's minutes they have to worry about. There is another guy coming off a serious injury and probably won't be 100% until sometime in 2015. You've heard of him. Remember how Paul looked his first year back?

Get this straight. They are NOT giving up Deng to rely on TWO broken guards.

Arent state taxes high in CA?

Arent state taxes high in CA?

Yes but it's not as simple as people make it sound with the no state tax thing.

10.30%

SAC is stepping up for Iggy... which means they have all but given up on Reke.

But if they fail to land Iggy, they can 'un-give up' on him

That's why I used the words "all but".

They've got Deng's repliedacement in Butler. It's plausible.Make that deal yesterday IMO.

Thats not a Deng replacement. Thats a super sub to give you a boost in spurts.

If Dell were to pull that off, he'd be the Michael Jordan of GMs and Chicago all of a sudden went brain dead.

Told ya Iggy will go to the highest bidder.

[Broadmoor74]

"A frontrunner", not "the frontrunner." Sounds like speculation by Woj.

[Snarly]

Told ya Iggy will go to the highest bidder.

I do wonder if he is still scheduled to visit any more teams? I would like to see him agree before the night is over.

Iguodala, 29, has an initial five-year offer to return to the Nuggets, but it is below the Kings' unexpectedly aggressive bid for him, league sources told Y! Sports.

So from this quote, it doesn't seem like he's implying the overall offer from Denver isn't as good as Sacramento's offer. Maybe the 63mil number was off.

Butler is easily good enough to start in this league.

56/4 = 14mil/yr

63/5 = 12.6mil/ yr.

More money per year from Sac. That 5th year from Denver is basically 7mil. I'm sure at 33 Iggy can sign another 2/3 year deal worth more than that. Honestly the Sac deal gives him more money and a chance at the end of it to get another short deal making better cash.

65 pages o' nothing.

I love the offseason!

[JrueDat]

You know I was thinking that perhaps it is Gordon who will come off the bench as the Manu-style player. Maybe that is why Reke is on board. That could've been the secret pitch. Reke as the starter and Gordon as the shooter.

That's if he isn't traded for half of a roast beef sandwich with extra pickles.

I see it as a gamble since he'll actually be 34 by the end of the deal. 7 million at 34/35 is a lot of money for wing at that age. If he believes he can command an overall better deal at that age, more power to him. Looks good for Sacramento right now so I'm content.

I was starting to think the exact same thing. But one makes 13.7 mil and the other 11. I'd think the one making 13.7 starts until...

[jhow0036]

Will say this much on reported offer to Andre Iguodala from Kings (4 yrs, $56 mil, per Yahoo): there's a limit to Denver's love for him.

Idea of being tax team after 1st-round playoff loss not appealing.There are other suitors,but this likely enough for Kings to beat out Den

Gordon's not coming off the bench bruh.
