Yes. I watched a decent amount lf the Kings,Tyreke has been one of my favorite players and DMC is amazing to watch. The team as a u it is rough, though.
 
Well here is another one for those interested...

I wouldn't be surprised if Sac let him walk if the offer is on the high side. I get the feeling they agree it's not working for him with the Kings. He needs a fresh start. So a sign and trade would be in the King's best interest.

His agent wants around 10 million a year. I just get a bad feeling about him. Will he work once he gets paid? I admit I know nothing about him other than what I see on the court. But when you are dishing out that kind of money he needs to be all about winning. Hopefully the Blazers will do their due diligence on any player they are signing. I kind of trust Olshey in that regards.

If sac let's Evens walk I sure as hell hope the Blazers go after him! Y have to take a risk at some point and I think this would be a good risk. No way Evens get 10 mill a year, he will get around 6-8.

I think you'll be surprised.
 
It always comes down to the PG. Without a good one you rarely have chemistry. And although Isaiah Thomas can get to the basket, the Kings had no play making ability. They had talent everywhere else, but no PG means few wins. So I guess I can see the points on both Evans and

Never said he shouldn't be.

But this thread is about Tyreke.

I wonder if Cousins is available? I wonder if we could trade for both of them? But even a franchise as horrible as Sac wouldn't trade their only two talented players, right?

Depends on who they get back in return. I bet #10, Batum and Leonard for those two would be fine.
 
Has a team with multiple Rookie of the Year's ever made it out of the 1st round?
 
Duncan and David Robinson made it out of the first round and won a ring.

I've hated Tyreke's game all the way back to his rookie season. But these past several months I'm completely on-board with trying to get him, but ONLY as a 6th man. Wes should remain the starter. This gives us better defense and outside shooting in the starting unit, allows Lillard to have the ball in his hands most of the time, and then puts the ball in Tyreke's hands with the bench unit. This plays to everyones strengths and maximizes our players abilities.
If you put Wes on the bench then we're still stuck with a bench that doesn't have a player who can create dribble-score opportunities. And in the starting unit you've got a terrible defensive backcourt, and the defense can collapse into the paint off of Evans.

Wow - my thoughts exactly on all points. Almost creepy.
 
Be honest, if you played for Sacramento would you have the will to defend?

I'm just not sure that overpaying to get him out of Sacto is the highest priority with him being a RFA. Plus, in terms of a sign-and-trade, he still has to sign a contract, which will still be higher than his worth, IMO.
 
What makes Lillard so effective as a scorer is he can do it all. (Deep three, mid range jumper, pull up J in the lane, attack the basket......) That ability, like Roy before him, apparently is hard to find because we have not so few that could do all these things well. But I would kill to get one more to team with Damian.

We know Evans can attack the basket which we desperately need. And he is getting better with his 3 ball. At least well enough to keep the defense honest. But does he have the ability to pull up and make a jumper with a man on him? That is key. Rudy was poor at it as was Martell. Travis was actually was pretty good at it. (Actually I think Barton has the potential to be good at it, but he can't attack the basket like Evans)

For us to get deep in the playoffs we need to find a second player who can can put the ball on the floor and score from anywhere. It needs to be a SG or SF. For the defense to keep from backing off of Tyreke he needs to be good with that that pull up jumper in the lane. Better than Iguodala has ever developed. If he can, then I would pursue him.

He sure doesn't look very athletic taking the ball at the rim. Lillard dunks more than Evans does

You're right. He seems to play more of a Euro game, going around and under defenders rather than zipping past or elevating over them. Interesting observation.

There is something to be said about the effectiveness of that if done correctly. One it shows bball smarts which is always a good thing and two, look at how well it has worked for Nash. I know you can really compare Nash and Tyreke overall but in this area (finshing at the hoop smartly and effectively) maybe you can.

I agree. The lack of athletic finishes do not worry me. The way he finishes at the basket is his strength. I have no idea about his D or his jumper in traffic. That would be my concern.
But some apparently are adamant that he is pretty good at it.

I agree--I wasn't saying that as a bad thing. Much like with Andre Miller, a below-the-rim playing style could be an effective way to remain healthy and extend his career.
 
Averages 4 FTA again which is decent. Not a lot but it shows ability to be aggressive
 
To be fair to Tyreke Evens, If Mathews played for the Kings I bet he would be in the same boat as Evens is. Just saying.
