To get to 4 years and $48 million, either Gordon has to be moved or GV and Lopez both have to be dumped. Just the numbers for ya

you definitely keep Lopez. I think Grievous is out. EG you can't trade at value right now.
one thing I like about Reke, is that he really can serve as a SF.
a smallball lineup of
Jrue
EG
Reke
RA
AD
isn't terrible.

I really don't know how I feel about evans jrue and Gordon all playing together... I just don't like Gordon really, I think he's the least athletic of the above 3

He's been on the decline every year since his rookie year when he averaged 20

I think committing this much money to Evans means we'll re-sign Aminu, and bring Evans off the bench and go small ball the rest of the way. This is of course assuming we keep EG.

He said he doesn't want to play SF. Although I guess since we're paying him 12 MILLION DOLLARS he'll do what we want

You can't just dump Vasquez to make room for tyreke's reported contract offer. He's not making enough to clear the needed cap space

Paying evans this much means we have gone full retard. Entirely too much money, especially since we apparently want him as a 6th man.

i'm assuming sign and trade, or another cap related dump. They will move Grieves.

last year was his best year since his rookie year. and he battled injuries those middle years.

Can't keep Lopez and EG and sign Evans to that contract.
We'll have to dump Vasquez plus pretty much everyone with an option, including Lopez.
Or trade Gordon.
And then we'll have to fill other spots either with the MLE (if we keep Gordon) or through a trade.

He also had the highest shooting percentages of his career last year, including his rookie year.

fricking terrible move. I was optimistic we'd have a flawless offseason and this ain't it
Posted on 7/1/13 at 4:07 pm to Mickey Goldmill
Evans would play SF right?
Posted on 7/1/13 at 4:07 pm to americanoutlaw
Chill out. No one knows what the FO does next.
Posted on 7/1/13 at 4:07 pm to tigerbait1.6
No he would not play SF, just no

Hollinger.
Scouting report
+ Penetrating combo guard who can score and draw fouls. Excellent finisher.
+ Has awkward set shot from outside. Must improve left hand.
+ Plays too much one-on-one. Has defensive talent but must improve focus.
Analysis
Evans recovered somewhat from a disappointing 2010-11 season but still hasn't regained his Rookie of the Year form when he seemed like a rising superstar. The Kings finally realized he wasn't a point guard and moved him off the ball halfway through the season, but a bigger limitation is his inability to shoot. Evans took an amazing 444 shots in the basket area last season and made 64.6 percent. He is a dominant player if he can get to the rim, and he draws lots of fouls en route.
Outside the basket area, it's a different story. Evans shot 26.5 percent away from the basket, and just over half his shots came from this distance. That's some amazingly bad shooting for a go-to scorer and largely illustrates why his career hasn't progressed since his rookie campaign. He still shoots an off-balance set shot from the perimeter and could use a few sessions with a shot doctor.
Meanwhile, he developed some bad habits while the Kings were feting him as the second coming. He still doesn't run back on defense, while offensively he tends to pound the ball and settles too easily for jumpers.
Evans has the lateral quickness to be an elite wing defender, but he has yet to show the interest. All of his metrics were bad: The Kings gave up 3.3 more points per 100 possessions with him on the court, opposing wingers had a 16.5 PER against him, according to 82games.com, and Synergy put him a bit below the league average. He finished in the top quarter of shooting guards in steals and blocks, but his fundamentals remain limited.
