Kings want Evans (latest news, tweets, etc.)
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
If we're comparing a guard and a center, we might as well compare their regular season per-36:
Code:
Rk Player Season Age G GS MP FG FGA FG% 3P 3PA 3P% FT FTA FT% ORB DRB TRB AST STL BLK TOV PF PTS
1 Tyreke Evans 2012-13 23 65 61 2016 6.5 13.7 .478 0.8 2.4 .338 3.7 4.8 .775 1.0 4.1 5.1 4.1 1.6 0.5 2.3 2.4 17.6
2 Tiago Splitter 2012-13 28 81 58 1997 5.7 10.1 .560 0.0 0.0 .000 3.7 5.1 .730 2.6 6.7 9.3 2.3 1.1 1.2 1.8 2.9 15.1
If true, it means Vivek/PDA probably value Reke at 9M per, which I'd say is undervaluing him by a couple million. But, I really don't understand valuing Reke at 9M per, since that's the type of offers they expected, then turning around and valuing Iggy at a max level. That is a mistake IMO. Two years from now an even bigger mistake IMO.
Calderon/McLemore/Iguodala/Thompson/Cousins sounds like exactly the type of team to be fighting for the 8th playoff seed year after year and languish in mediocrity.
Evans is 23. There's every reason to think he'll improve in every year of his four year deal. With Iguodala you just have to hope he doesn't decline.
The two of them together (with BMac & DMC) could be special. But trading Tyreke for AI (and maxing him out) would be a slight upgrade now while sacrificing potential and youth.

Yep I agree.
It could be that they are perfectly willing to match an $11m/year contract...and are playing it coy making it seem as if they won't match in the hopes that he does sign an offer sheet at $11m rather than seeing that price tag increase.
And who knows...NO isn't in the best of situations salary wise...what if they only offer him 10.5m or something?
Let him sign an offer sheet if he has to...and if it is 11m or less then match. It's not ideal for him to sign an offer and we match...but at this point...I just want him on this team next year alongside DMC and B-Mac.

I don't buy it. You simply do not schedule a late night meeting, that includes ownership with a hotly pursued FA just to blow smoke up his butt. They left the meeting saying they wanted Evans back. So I am guessing Reek was given assurances, BECAUSE they planed to aggressively peruse Iggy today and they did NOT want him to bolt. BOTH players can be had but only if the owners are careful about how they time and structure the deals. Salomons will have to be amnestied and some cap space cleared but I would find it odd if PDA and Randive would waste time either BSing Tyreke or chasing AI if they did not think they can land Iggy and keep Evans.
