Keep him if he's going to cost less than his current contract. He's a great shooter that has shown to improve his overall game on both ends of the floor. He's a very solid role player that plays team ball. He tries to find open guys to take shots, finds your bigs down low, and knocks down 3s at a solid rate. Evans and Anderson cost way too much for the limited production they bring. Trade those two, bring in a solid 3&D SF and you have yourself a solid core of: Jrue Holiday Eric Gordon [insert SF here] Anthony Davis Omer Asik Cole Pondexter Cunningham Ajinca Trade for a guy like Jeremy Lamb that has potential to be a shooter in limited minutes off the bench.

I love Ryno but I have to agree here. I think if Gordon opted out and we re-signed to a long term deal with less per year that could be a win-win. Move Anderson and Evans for the pieces you need and we could make a run.

We were 26-17 with Evans running the point

We were 20-19 with Jrue healthy

I don't understand why Evans gets all the hate. He's frustrating at times but he was way more controlled as our PG and our offense played better. Mind you this was without Anderson, too.

If Jrue's last name was Gordon he would be getting a load of hate from our fans. I guess he gets a pass for being injury plagued bc he's affable? Idk. I just don't see how a guy who can't stay on the floor is viewed as so valuable

Gordon opting out? Lol dude wouldn't make what he makes next year in 3 years on a new deal. He isn't going anywhere, and if he plays like he did late in the season, he will be fine. He deserves a lot of credit for our late season push
