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

[AirForce1]

Yep I really like the guy because of his attitude, but he's a very bad fit with us.

[Pelicans_fan_504]

I'm just shocked that Gravy, who is hated here, is loved by Sac so much. He just said you add Gravy and this team becomes A LOT better.

Also a caller just said he loves Gravy because he does a lot of assist and is a good defender. Lol

That this shows you they never watch GV play lol, they are in for a shock

[DroopyDawg]

Gravy is hated here? I honestly don't know anyone who hates that guy. I think people just think he's not the guy who's going to take us to where we want to go; or, he's a tradable piece who can net us someone else of need.

I don't hate him as a person (great dude as for as I know) and I don't hate him as a player... but some things he does on the court I find myself cussing at my TV.

- You can't run a P/R and not even look at your roll man. So many times AD had a clear path for the 'oop and Gravy missed him
- Why do we constantly take shot desperation shots to beat the shot clock.
- Why does he turn the ball over so much?
- He's not the best defender.

Other than that... I don't have a problem with him!

Also saying gravy is hated here couldn't be the furthest from the truth. We just want the pg position upgraded. Not sure it constitutes hating the guy. Frustrating watching him move like he's in quicksand?? Sure...hate the guy?? Not at all

Man this radio show has been the best thing to happen with the Evans talks. This dude just yelled out a called who asked what the Kings do about their backup PG if Gravy is brought over. He started yelling, "I don't care, you start your best players! I don't care! Isaiah Thomas and Gravy are an awesome one two punch. I don't care about hurting people's feelings. We need to win games!"

Apparently, if we move Gravy in a S&T for Evans the Kings fans will be happy for the cap space and Vasquez.

[supermati]

I love General Greivis, but he doesn't have a spot here anymore.

Bring Tyreke, trade Gordon for someone that will surprise us all. Change Lopez and GV for another surprise.

Get it done Demps.

[kclaboy504]

After looking over the kings roster and cap room. I'd be shocked of they matched this offer sheet. I really would.

I doubt giving up Vasquez would hold this thing up. I'd like to think dell would quickly sign his autograph on the S&T contract if it meant finalizing Evans being here. If not?? I'd like to talk to dell in a dark alley.

I think the perception is that he is not well liked as a player. I bet if you pull up some of the game threads you'd see people actively hating on the dude. Not everyone but certainly some.

Personally I like Gravy and think he has a ton of room to I prove.

Only thing I'm not sure about is Gravy turning over the ball so much. I thought he has a 3:1 assist to turnover ratio.

[Alvis]

I honestly think that Vasquez is a great fit for the Kings and that Evans for Vasquez+cap space seems reasonable.

The issue is that no one knows what Sac really wants ... and from what we saw yesterday not even them. They need to get a plan straight on Evans or a S&T.
If only we did not need them to do it more than they do :s

Oh I'm sure Sac is trying to get as much as they can for Evans. Probably trying to get multiple people from our roster.

[DroopyDawg]

He did have a 3:1 ratio. It wasn't necessarily the NUMBER of TOs... it was WHEN he turned the ball over. Should have worded it differently.

-Why does he play "hero" ball in the 4th quarter

Ah yes. That makes more sense.

[i am cow lolz]

This is a really bad move. Since he signed the offer sheet, we can't do a sign and trade now.

and I think the Kings match.

Edit: never mind didn't see 'will sign' in tweet.

He didnt sign the offer sheet. Word is he's possibly given a verbal. He can't do anything official until the 10th.

You Sir deserve a cigar. good call.

My bad. Didn't see 'will sign' in Sportscenter tweet

[Bee-Fense]

Anyone remember when Greivis Vasquez took 25 shots and Eric Gordon took 6 in a game against the Wolves?

Cause I do

[donato]

Kings fans have a poll up as to whether or not they should match a signed offer. It also includes a S & T option for Vasquez:

[JrueDat]

I can't read comments on ESPN anymore. The ignorant masses irk me. They think it is so funny that we are the Pelicans. Annoying. I really hope this team starts kicking some a&& soon.

Anyone remember when GV tried to take every clutch shot last year.
