What about Noc, Garcia and the 5th for Collison and Okafor? We might be giving up too much but we are getting a potential future AS pg (Collison) and a defensive big for a pick and 2 bad contracts. I don't know if the salaries match up but just tossing something out there during TDOS....
IMO, this is not too smart and way too much depending on the idea that Wesley Johnson won't be able to play SG next to Evans. And with a few potential BIGS that will be available at 5, you are wasting the pick on a point guard that we don't even need at this point in time. Collison to me will never be enough consolation prize when there really is a chance of picking up that defensive BIG that we've been needing for so long.
True dat, didn't look at it close enough. I was thinking if we could keep Hawes, you never know how good off the bench he could be with a defensive minded center beating up the opposing center on one end and him coming in and working them on the other end. Basically, I want to get rid of ALL of our long/high salaried players(don't count Beno, I like him) and take back fewer dead end pieces. Okafor's contract might be immovable now but he is still fairly young and has had a couple decent campaigns under his belt. One good campaign and he becomes a very movable piece. A change of scenery (maybe even coasts) and he might be a rejuvenated player.
This would be palatable. We get our defensive BIG and dump our seemingly toxic contracts.
Original post, for those who keep saying we should just draft Cousins. That is what I originally want, but......see above please.
It is so hard to believe that with some available BIGS and tall shooting guards available both in the draft, free agency ( or through trade ) you chose to entertain the idea of letting go of the relatively high pick #5 in exchange for the smallish point guard Collison. You even discounted the possibility of a very good Wesley Johnson playing alongside Evans as a shooting guard.
Nope, not even. I think Evans can be a great pg. I just think Collison would be a great fit next to Evans and I'm very high on Collison. And section101 never argued that Evans wasn't a pg, he just kept pointing out all the negative things that might have been associated with Evans character. Gary was the one who didn't and probably still doesn't believe Evans is a pg. When I saw Collison was available I thought we could get a big and shed Noc and Garcia's contract and still score with Collison. That is in no way indicative of me thinking Tyreke can't be a pg. He was very successful at it last year especially for a rookie. I just want the BPA on my Kings team, especially the young ones. Why can't you accept that fact and move on? You always like to start **** with folks, why?It is so hard to believe that with some available BIGS and tall shooting guards available both in the draft, free agency ( or through trade ) you chose to entertain the idea of letting go of the relatively high pick #5 in exchange for the smallish point guard Collison.

Your thread is a clear testament that you agree that Evans should be playing with another "true point guard" next to him.
I think you just have to accept that you lose your argument against section101 and ariesmar. I think an apology to them from you is not too late, for you ridiculed them strongly for their stand that Evans needs a true point guard next to him.
IMO, section101 and ariesmar clearly won their argument against you.
