Hearing that the Kings will NOT match any increased offers on Tyreke Evans, if they materialize.As it stands, they are prepared to lose him.


Should we?

Tyreke's qualifying offer was $6,927,156

He's a good player but I wouldn't want to pay more than $6 million for someone that I see as either a role playing starter or bench leader.

He is more than a role playing starter/bench leader at $7.5 I would do the deal making it an incentive-based contract

Not until he gets a legit perimeter shot, which he was supposedly working on.

$6.9m or more a season seems high for a guy who doesn't have a true position.


He also has problems hitting jumpshots, as he only converts about 38% of them.

I also don't think it's very good that a player at the 2/3, which he's been at with Sacramento, taking about half his shots from close range rather than as jumpshots. Most other players I'm seeing from the 2 or 3 tend to shoot about 70% of their shots as jumpers.

Pass. His numbers have gone down every year in his career.

I like him a lot, but not sure he's worth $7+ mm. His minutes have decreased but his shooting and 3P% have increased over his three year career.

Would be a good complement to EG at the three if we keep him, and also play 2 if we deal EG or he gets hurt.

Gonna be hard to get a much better player for less or the same price IMO.

Anybody that wouldn't pay 8mil dollars for Evans and would take Jennings at 10-12 needs to have their head checked.

I don't think there are many true Jennings lovers on this site. It's mostly people that accept Demps has had serious interest and it will probably take $10-$12 to get him.

Exactly.


Evans for around $8m isn't a bad deal. Someone will pick him up for that (maybe more) and run

I'll say this, Evans is athletic and big enough to be taught how to play D the right way at the 2 and most 3's.

Evans can get to the rim consistently and he's a decent passer for his size. I would jump at the chance to get him anywhere in the 7-9 mil/yr range in a heartbeat. We need penetrators and playmakers badly and he takes slightly over 50% of his shots at the rim.

Bottom line: If he comes in with the right attitude and Monty/Dell think that they can groom him, he's a freaking steal at that price. Dude's been on a dysfunctional team his whole career.

This begs the question of a lower offer. The 1y deal is likely meaningless. Easy to sign and trade for less than the QO.

I would not Mike Tyreke at $5m, so he can be moved into a standard MLE if necessary. I think his situation has affected him a recoverable way. Speculation.

$7m for 4y is pushing it for me. A $7m version of Lopez's deal I'd roll with.

I also think he could be really good in a better situation than the clusterfrick in SAC

I'm pretty tired of guys that are a jumpshot away from being good, but Evans does have very good potential if he could develop that shot so I probably would be ok with this kind of deal that we could walk away from if it doesn't work out. Taking a chance on Evans is surely in the same ballpark as taking a chance on Marion and #13.

"Without a jumpshot", he averaged 20-5-5 as a rookie at the point before falling victim to the blackhole that is Sacramento coaching and management. Who changes a rookie's position after he averages 20-5-5? A change of scenery and a solid coaching staff does wonders for his game. If you can get him for 7-9 million 4years, you take it and run.
