I'm told the Evans offer sheet is worth between $44-$50 million based on incentives. Numbers not solid, but range makes sense.

The 4yr, $44 million offer from the Pelicans to Tyreke Evans will not surprise the Kings front office.

I agree that Reke is a better player than Iggy and has higher potential. I'm a Reke fan.
But right now it depends on the position that our FO thinks Tyreke should play.
If they think he is a SG, then they will most likely let him walk because we drafted BMac. If the FO thinks Reke is a SF, then they are most likely going to let him walk as PDA and staff has hinted they are looking for upgrade at SF. So really the only way the Kings pays big money to keep Tyreke is if they believe he can be the PG of our team's future. I hope they do.

New Orleans just traded Nerlens Noel AND next year's 1st rounder for Holiday. He's not going anywhere, let alone in a sign-and-trade for a guy that they can simply sign outright.
More importantly, Tyreke can be a sure thing. Match the offer sheet and he's a King. With Iguodala you're competing with half a dozen other teams, including the Nuggets who can exceed the cap to sign him.
As I said in the other thread, if the Kings could really clear the capspace for Iguodala while keeping Evans, they'd also have the room to sign Dorrell Wright and Dalembert instead. Personally I think a Reke/McLemore/Wright/Cousins/Dalembert lineup with JT/Patterson and IT off the bench would be competing for a playoff spot next season. AND you'd likely still have a couple trade assets (Jimmer, Thornton, Patterson if they weren't dealt for caproom already) and some dead money coming off the books in a couple years (Outlaw, Hayes) just when Dalembert's deal should also expire.

I agree with you on Vasquez. It's not about replacing, it's about getting something for a guy you aren't keeping anyway.
A quick way to make a bad move worse would be if we let Evans walk for nothing. If you decide that $$$ is too much, well I disagree with you PDA, but at least get an asset for him. And the Pelicans don't even have a 1st round pick next year to trade.
I strongly disagree with the road we are heading down.

Tyreke Evans would have loved an offer from the Kings instead of waiting for team to match a deal. Pelicans showed interest, made offer
If true, doesn't make our new FO look that good. I do wonder why NO jumped to the front of the line and got in there before PDA/Vivek. Detroit as well coming up next.

The Pistons have the ability to come in with a big offer, and they have serious need as well. They're a little over 24 million under the cap, and they've been talking about moving Knight to SG. Anyway you look at it, Knight and Tyreke on the floor together looks good on paper to go along with Monroe and Drummond. Depending on how bad they want Tyreke, they could offer around 12 mil a year, and still have 12 mil left to go after other freeagents. Besides that, they have 17 mil coming off the books after this coming season when Monroe becomes a restricted freeagent.
I wouldn't want Vasquez clogging up our backcourt. Then we'd just have yet another guard in our backcourt who is a poor penetrator, not a good defender and doesn't bring what Reke can. I'd prefer the cap space and at least attempt to bring in a guard who can do what Reke can, but that's extremely unlikely too.
I wouldn't match. He's passed my $10 mill (and Gary got left in the dust at $9.5 mill
). So NO is going to play a bench guy $11 mill per year? They must have seen Tyreke lighting it up against Utah a couple of years ago. By the way, Jamaal Crawford, probably the best 6th man of in the NBA over the past few years, signed with the Clipps in 2012 for $25 mill over 4 years.

If they had come in with a 4 years, 40M deal Reke may have taken it. Reke can still look around but you've at least shown interest.
The point is the way it sounds from tweets, we didn't even make an initial offer.

Well it's about what I thought it would be. If we want to keep talent we will have to over pay for it. If you were ok with Reek at 10, you can't cry much about 11. On the bright side if the Kings pay or pass quick, they will at least remove the cap hold and can move forward on signing a SF (who we will have to over pay as well)
