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

[Mythrol]

That's not enough of a salary dump if I correct.
It needs to be at least 6M.

Rivers and Vasquez only amount to 4.489M

Oh thank god. I'd be VERY disappointed if we traded Rivers. . .very.

I hope I am right, I think I am but i'd rather hear from MM or 42 or someone who know's the cap stuff.

I hope you are too. Rivers has all the skills, he just needs to put it together. I think if we run 3 guard sets there's PLENTY of minutes for him to develop. I think his handles are just as good as anyone on our team.

The Kings pulled the offer after 3 hours. The same evening they made the offer. You have ZERO proof that he was using Sacramento to leverage another deal. All you have is a bunch of speculations and rumors that came out of the Kings beat writers and bloggers mouth. Guess what? They said the same crap about Evans. And they were once again wrong.

While it may be rumors, it certainly is logical. Why would they go through all the time of meeting him and constructing a contract to pull it? They gave him the offer expecting him to agree and he did not agree immediately as they thought, so they pulled it. It appears they did not want it used to shop.

I really hate that you need to do sign and trades with unrestricted FA. We ar basically spending 40+ million and having to give away 2 assets.

I know we need to make room, but it would be nice to acquire some picks or players on different trades t make this work.

I believe he is restricted and that is why they could match.

You are correct sir.

Real GM is saying Blazers are involved as well. Is there any truth to this or am I late to the party?

Sounds like there may be something to this....

Per @ailene_voisin report on Kings/NO trade, no deal done but scenario would send Robin Lopez to Portland, Vasquez to Sac, Evans to Pelicans

They are saying that Portland would receive Lopez and not send anything back. Firstly, why is it being labeled as a 3-way trade if that's true? Secondly, are you telling me Demps can't find 1 team that would give us a 2nd round pick? At least then we'd have a $5 million TPE. I'd demand Jeff Withey from Portland. They don't need him.

Which is still sweet if we sign Evans and get a 5 mil TPE in return! It could come in handy!

Too much?

Too much?

I guess you could say, it...Rekes.

[Snarly]

He already has a nickname. It's "Reke Havok" and "Too Easy"...

[AD23forMVP]

Looking at Tyrekes splits from last season, he shot 38% at home and 29% on the road from three.
