Sources close to Tyreke Evans flat out refute ESPN report, still very open to resigning with Sacramento. Evans' camp, when asked about the ESPN report, responded at first with a simple "Not True".

Tyreke Evans is stil waiting on the Kings to make him an offer before committing to New Orleans. Evans can agree to sign the offer sheet, the Kings can still match it. Wants to give Kings every chance to make an offer better than N.O. FTR, Tyreke Evans is put off by lack of an offer, not being top priority, but not to the point he wouldn't play for the Kings.

6:15 PM @SportsCenter: Tyreke Evans will sign four-year, $44 million offer sheet with New Orleans Pelicans. (via @ESPNSteinLine and @GoodmanESPN)

8:45 PM @ESPNSteinLine: Earlier story clearly pointed in this direction, but just heard Pelicans & Tyreke Evans are indeed now in process of finalizing offer sheet

9:00 PM @sam_amick: Tyreke Evans has given the New Orleans Pelicans a verbal agreement that he'll sign the four-year, $44 million offer sheet, I'm told.ESPN 1st

8:15 AM The Kings will not match the four-year, $44 million offer sheet that Tyreke Evans has agreed to sign with the New Orleans Pelicans. According to sources close to the situation, the new Kings management group instead is hoping to close Thursday on a sign-and-trade agreement involving Pelicans point guard Greivis Vasquez and backup center Robin Lopez.

11:00 AM @sam_amick: Per @ailene_voisin report on Kings/NO trade, no deal done but scenario would send Robin Lopez to Portland, Vasquez to Sac, Evans to Pelicans. Kings have other situations still in play, however, but obviously looking to get something for Evans rather than merely letting him walk.

In proposed 3-way deal, Kings send Tyreke Evans to Pelicans, Nola's Vasquez to Kings and Robin Lopez to Blazers. Port sends picks and cash.

Pelicans had to find trade for Lopez or release him Friday for $500,000. Portland wanted him from start and Sacramento jumped in for Vazquez
