Not sure who you mean? I only said that the only way I would want Evans at PG is if he had another ball handler at SF, which would be Iggy. Whether we could afford them both I have no idea.

Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, GM Pete D'Alessandro, coach Michael Malone met with Tyreke Evans in LA & stressed how much they want him.
You really think he made more than he missed? Really?He misses more layups than he makes. Really. I mean, really?
If we over pay Tyreke and still don't have a SF I think I'm going to jump off a cliff.
What's the deal with the brothers anyway? Are they leaching themselves onto the Tyreke train?
Can we all at least agree on one thing? Swapping Tyreke for Eric Gordon's contract is a laughably bad idea and New Orleans is fooling themselves if they think that's even remotely plausible. Surely we can all agree on that right?
Note: There's a pretty circular discussion going on about Evans, the SF position, his potential value, etc. in the other thread. I started this one as a place to post the latest tweets, etc. so people wanting the bare bones stuff won't have to wade through some very interesting yet very long discussions.

Hearing New Orleans offer to Tyreke Evans is constructed to discourage Kings from matching.

I am missing your point then.
If Kings think that Reke is their franchise guy, they will and should pay the money.
At the moment, nobody on the roster is even close to that, and, I will repeat again, what other franchise/potential franchise guy you think Kings can get for less than 12 mil?
That is not tied to whether he is a pure PG, SG, SF or whatever unnecessary labeling is used on him. I think you are overvaluing defined position a bit.
edit: actually, reread your post, we seems to agree on the point but disagree regarding Reke's level

So, do we discuss the tweets in here or read in here and post in the other thread?
And if we let Evans walk and still can't land a top FA for the SF what will you do?If we over pay Tyreke and still don't have a SF I think I'm going to jump off a cliff.
Testify, brother! If someone stole my girlfriend, I wouldn't offer him gas money to take her out on a date.If this is what the Pelicans are trying to force the Kings to do, screw 'em. It Would make it easier to sign Iggy but there is no guarantee of that.
Here's the point none of you, except like 2 people are getting.
If our FO believes in Reke for the future, great. Pay the man and let's move forward with building around Reke-Cousins. If we DON'T think he can play PG then we should be looking to get something in return for him in a S&T. Keeping him because he's talented his an atrocious way to approach building a team.
I'll put my faith in the FO. I personally don't believe in Reke at PG at $12mil a year, but am willing to be proven wrong
If we over pay Tyreke and still don't have a SF I think I'm going to jump off a cliff.
His point makes perfect sense to me. Why does it have to be PG or nothing? What has McLemore proven in the NBA at this point? You do that and you have two assets that you can use to trade for other assets in the future if need be. You let Tyreke go and you lose one asset, plain and simple. But then again you're the guy who was all over Thomas Robinson and criticized others who were not sold on him, so what do I know about putting all your faith in an unproven rookie.
I mean if they really want him all they need to do is match.
And if we let Evans walk and still can't land a top FA for the SF what will you do?
