What are the odds that the Pelicans can't replace Lopez with a player equal in ability to Lopez? I would think that's a pretty good chance. Vasquez, while good, is a luxury piece and I can accept him being moved, but I'm concerned that replacing Lopez with a satisfactory center will be more difficult.

His contract is still more valuable then GVs
Probasketballdraft had us thinking for a few mins that Gordon was traded to Phoenix too. Stuffs been going down.
Jrue dat
Every time I fall in love with the Tyreke signing, some hazy news comes out about Sac maybe resigning him.
Every time I resign myself to a Tyreke-less fate, rumors abound that they won't match.
kings plz

^^^ for real
ranadive pls
Sign and trade who? Lopez in a separate deal to open up space or Lopez in the sac deal?
You are getting rid of Lopez regardless. No way to keep him. Only way is if you sacrifice Vasquez and either Jason Smith or Rivers.
I think Dell is more found of Rivers or Smith than Lopez, so that is why he is gone.
@mcnamara247
I said that is as high as I would go. If push came to shove and Kings would match unless I include Lopez.
I would prefer just giving them Roberts or even Vasquez, then move Lopez in a seperate deal, but if I had to, I would give them a slow footed big who can't rebound to get this deal done

IMO that is too much for a team that probably isn't going to match. We would essentially be giving them Lopez for free. They are bluffing us and I hope Demps isn't stupid enough to fall for it.
Tks
Ever think about doing live chats online at BSS?
Contributor
The alternative being that they aren't bluffing, and they match...and then we are in some trouble.
Contributor
We wouldnt be in trouble, we would have the cap space to sign someone else. This signing is not going to make or break us.
You also gotta factor in that the longer Evans tiptoes around the more targets we mis out on. Gotta play it smart.
is Yardbarker a site that you can put your trust in? or, have I missed this being reported already? I personally have my doubts, but they have reported that Evans signed the offer sheet we extended to him.... NBA Free Agency: Tyreke Evans signs offer sheet with Pelicans, Tiago Splitter 4-years-$45 million
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
Pulling the iggy deal doesn't help us get TE.
Just can't see sac wanting to make tat move with new direction.

i saw that too
http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articl...llion/13959997Tyreke Evans Welcome to day two of NBA free agency. Check out some of the moves being made. Kings point guard Tyreke Evans has reportedly agreed to a 4-year offer from the New Orleans Pelicans worth between $40 million and $44 million.

Until I see it said by Woj or Marc Stein, not gonna buy it. Never even heard of Yardbarker.
Contributor
I have to think we're discussing a S&T.
Maybe, but if we are backed into a corner on July 5 with teams knowing we have to unload him, we are going to get pennies on the dollar or be stuck buying him out for $500,000.
no argument from me there, Eman.....just sharing what I saw....
Contributor
That's not a bad worse case scenario, buy him out and gain 4.5mil mil in cap space. But my preference would be to keep Lopez.
Contributor
It seems the only logical solution. Benefit both sides. We get what we want and they get something for their trouble.
Contributor
There won't be any targets left worth anything on the 13th. We'll have to look for trades.
