    Carmichael Dave: Sources close to Tyreke Evans flat out refute ESPN report, still very open to resigning with Sacramento. Twitter

    Do the Pacers have cap space? If not then what do they have to trade in expiring or non-guaranteed contracts? IF you believe the rumors, it sounds like it is between the Pacers and us for getting Robin Lopez in a trade.

    Somebody on Twitter suggested a Tyreke Evans sign and trade for Rajon Rondo. That kinda makes sense, although Boston should demand at least a pick or two.

    There goes another center. Looks like Lopez and Vazquez are heading to Sacto as part of a S&T for Tyreke Evans.

    Yes. But f's us over. So I guess we should get used to Kaman, Zaza, or Dalembert as our starting C next year. Yay.

    No shit... why is Greivis Vasquez always just thrown around in trades like he's a nothing?

    First, he more or less saves the Memphis Grizzlies asses in upsetting the Spurs in a #1/8 match-up. His thanks? Getting dealt or Quincy Pondexter.

    Next, he finishes 3rd in the NBA in assists... gotta repeat that one for emphasis... 3rd in the NBA in assists (and on a team that lacked scorers). His thanks? He gets shipped out to a team that's overstocked with guards.

    I feel for Greivis man... I've been a fan of him since his Maryland days and was pumped when my Grizz drafted him. Yeah, he might play at 110 mph, but he's one of those guys like Ginobili that can actually play "out of control" and still really be in control.

    I'm with you... huge get for the Kings...

    EDIT: Greivis didn't finish third this season in APG... he finished second because Rondo only played 38 games.

    BTW - The last five guys who finished #2 in APG?

    '13 - Greivis Vasquez
    '12 - Steve Nash
    '11 - Rajon Rondo
    '10 - Chris Paul
    '09 - Deron Williams

    Yet the Pelicans just threw Greivis Vasquez in as a cap-filler? That's some bullshit on New Orleans' part and a real black mark on an otherwise great offseason...

    With Vazquez and Isaiah Thomas, the Kings now have two PGs with a better PER last year than Lillard...

    You make it sound like the Pelicans (still sounds stupid saying that) dissed him, when they did him a favor. He could start in Sacto, or at least only has to compete with an oompa-loompa, whereas he'd be stuck behind Jrue Holiday in New Orleans. I think it was actually a pretty classy move.

    Exactly. This is a perfect reason why we should ban any reference to PER on this this board forever. (I know wishful thinking on my part)
