Guys I think we have done a good job in free agency this year, however, no need to force a contract like we have done in the past.

My big question is what do y'all think we could get for tyreke?

A first rounder and some money? Lets do that and have a fair season, come back next year and we will have 2 first round picks and cap space to sign someone that's a top 40 player in the league.

Can't see us getting a 1st rounder. Maybe a 2nd and/or a bench player.

The only way we're getting a 1st rounder for Tyreke is if he's healthy and productive near the trade deadline. And then it probably wouldn't be a 2017 1st, but a 2018 or later, but if the season is going well maybe Demps feels more secure about surviving to use that future pick.

I am looking forward to revisiting this topic at the end of the year. By then, and maybe sooner, people will know why we couldn't get anything for him. And why it's even very hard to dump him for. I think we will all learn a lot over the next few months

At the end of the year or season? Because you've said you don't think he plays in 2016, which I've taken to mean he comes back in January 2017 at the earliest.

So you don't think we are going to be able to dump him and add anymore pieces in the next few days?

I think the only way we can trade him is to Miami for josh Mcroberts because they are desperate to get rid of him. I also think they are going to be ok with him being hurt because I think they might try and tank this season if Bosh is out

If he's hurt he's literal dead space to hit the floor with. I just hope they bring Frazier back somehow.

I still think Sac town makes sense - Gay, Koufos, and McLemore are available per Marc Stein

I don't think there is much of a chance we move Reke now, unless we netted something amazing. The front office is killing it right now, we don't need to rush it. If they think a better deal for Reke could come before the deadline after he has put up some healthy minutes, then it is smarter to wait.

That said... Dario Saric ... Greg Monroe... think big for trade ideas if we are going to bother.

and also remember, the rookie scale is still the same... draft picks are about to be CRAZY valuable... because you will have indentured players on the cheapest contracts possible in the league. So a handful of 2nds, for INTL stashes, or a late first for a role player... isn't just about getting the pick, it's about getting a 4 year reduced salary onto the team, to free up money for elsewhere.

My faith has been renewed this offseason. those Galloway contesting shot numbers, blew my mind. That is like the Jason Heyward vacuum in right field. He is so much better at one spot, at one thing, than anyone else in the world... You want him on your team... I'm also riding for Vlado this summer. He has that something special that fans love.... like Peja had.... that is like an icing on the cake sort of thing when it is going right.

I'm loving the team of specialists that we are assembling. Like the damn Expendables or something...

Reports on Twitter Miami may be trying to get deals done quickly before having to match Tyler Johnson. Supposedly looking for 1 yr contracts.

Are you saying he can't play bc his knee is that bad or is it something more?

If the Kings can get a 1st round pick for Marco Belinelli, we can get a 1st rounder for Tyreke Evans.

Everybody wants to dump Reke. Why? His contract is reasonable. He is a mismatch for every team we face. We have one guy who can score, AD. A good coach would just let Reke run ISO/the twos. He would dominate for those 20 or so minutes.

On top of that, he is hurt, who the F is going to trade for him? PT needs to get their shite together when it comes to Reke.

I know Crewz says he's untradeable, but one would have to think that if it's going to happen it'll be tonight or tomorrow bc I'm assuming Dell is watching the decisions on Johnson and Crabbe.
