Reggie Evans Traded soon?

[Kings113]

The News Tribune - The Seattle SuperSonics are involved in numerous discussions around the NBA to trade power forward Reggie Evans, according to three sources.

Less than a week ago, Evans’ agent, Dan Fegan, told The News Tribune he had approached Sonics general manager Rick Sund and asked that Evans be traded if there was no role for him with coach Bob Hill now in control.

In an attempt to appease Evans, sources say, Sund has been talking with several teams to try to get something in return for the 6-foot-8, 240-pound forward.

Sund declined to get into specifics, saying, “I have always told the players I would keep any trade discussions about them confidential.”

One source said he thinks Evans will be dealt within a week; another indicated that nothing is likely to happen until it gets closer to the Feb. 23 trading deadline.

Either way, it seems clear that the career of the league’s best rebounder per minute is over in Seattle. Evans was the only healthy player not to get off the bench in the Sonics’ loss to Dallas on Thursday night.

Two sources said Sund has been talking with Minnesota, where former Sonics associate head coach Dwane Casey has an eye on Evans. One source said a package could include Evans and Ronald Murray for newly acquired Marcus Banks, who came over in the trade that sent Wally Szczerbiak to Boston. However, another source said that trade is not likely to happen, even though the salaries match.

I still wouldn't mind getting this guy, doubt it happens though, I mean Skinner/Corliss don't play much.

I hope there's not a Reggie Evans bidding war.

Why is everybody so high on Reggie Evans? He hasnt shown that he can be performing at a high level consistently.

Yes he has, for what he is - a hustle player. Also, if you've seen at least some of the Sonics this year, he even actually has somewhat of a postgame now until Bob Hill benched him, he showed that a lot. Also has the heart and energy to tie into other things.

Evans is a great rebounder/hustler - if you've seen a solid deal of him and until he was benched this year.

Evans is the new Popeye Jones. He's an asset for any team that won't bench him.

On a related note, it will be interesting to watch how Bob Hill does in Seattle. Not that he exactly coached Ray Allen into making all of those 3-pointers, but he seemed to run the team well in that fantastic game against Phoenix. On the other hand, despite success in San Antonio, he's been shut out of the league until now.
