Kings Will Listen To Trade Offers For Tyreke Evans
- Thread starter Amory
- Start date
I highlighted the part of that that is interesting and somethign we have not heard before. And you know what? I agree with that. Its become very clear this organization is run by Moe, Larry and Curly, and you can't trust them to get it without a considerable amount of prodding.
Should note however that's STILL not a report that says we're listening to trade offers.

Part of me wants Reke to get traded so he can go off and drop 50/10/10 against us for the next 15 years.
I don't think I've ever seen a All-Star caliber player be hampered by ****ty coaching as much as Reke has. If he does get up being traded, it better be for someone good and not a bunch of random pieces or picks. Otherwise, I may have to evaluate how much longer I can put time, effort, and energy into this franchise this summer.

Hmmm! Are you sure you want Wall? Biggest knock on Tyreke is his lack of a 3pt shot. Lets see how Wall is doing in that dept. Hmmm! He took 41 attempts this season and made 3, for a blistering 7.3% average. Suddenly Tyreke looks like a great shooter with his 29% shooting. Wall is averaging close to 8 assists a game against close to 4 turnovers a game. And thats on a bad team. I'm one of those that believes its harder to get assists on a bad team than a good team. Logical, don't you think? They should have a stat called SHB, or Should have Been an assist. But thats probably too subjective on the scorers part.
This would be a disaster, one we've created and seen coming for a while, but a disaster none the less. YOu would be trading a guy while his value is low even though he's shown to be a true game changing rare talent. There's zero chance you get such a talent back.
Beyond that, the formula for winning a title has generally been have two game changing talents, surround with solid roleplayers and good coaching, and deal with personality clashes. We're finding a way to elevate our role players at the expense of our true talent, and if you lose one you may never get a second to pair with Counsins again which means he'll most likely leave (the best hope of keeping huge talents in Sacramento has alway been winning, if the Kings hadn't been one of the best teams in the league Webber leaves in free agency)
Essentially we're tetering on the precipace of having to restart the rebuild due to extreme mismanagement (on all levels, GM/Owners/Coaching). Barring a new coach, a new focus on the Evans/Counsins pairing at the expense of anyone else it takes, we're going to have to restart this rebuild in a couple years when Cousins and Tyreke are gone.

I don't agree with this at all and if we can't get equal value, don't trade. No one is holding a gun to our heads. We trade for a franchise player and if not, keep Tyreke, continue to blunder in our use to him, and pray we geta coach that can use him. Otherwise, I guess we just lose him several years down the road.
What people who are anti-Reke don't seem to see is right before their eyes. He is being misused, he is playing SF and is a short SF at that yet is still putting up decent points and getting decent rbds and assists. That takes skill.

Really! Its the specifics that decide whether we can use a player or not. Specifics are who a player is! Hell, just Tyreke for anyone then, if specifics don't matter. I have to assume you made the comment in jest. Because if I'm trading one of our best players, I'm going to be very picky about who I trade him for.
I agree as well, but the irony of the situation is, if Tyreke was the player we all wanted him to be, we wouldn't be trading him. So it stands to reason that if your willing to trade him, the other team is going to assume he's not lived up to your expectations, and therefore his value has decreased.
I'll actually take this a step further. A three step process:
1) If we trade Tyreke
2) and he blows up for another franchise
3) and we eventually lose Cousins because we can't get him the wingman he needs
I am out. Done. And it will be a ****ing relief believe me. I have tolerated the fools of this franchise for a long time. But if they **** up the no brainer, if they **** up the thing that no other franchis in the league ****s up...then there is no hope, and I'm not going to waste anymore time on them. They can rot.
