    New Orleans, Portland and Sacramento have just verbally agreed to complete three-way trade July 10 that locks up Tyreke Evans as a Pelican

    Done deal!

    With Calderon out of play, Sacramento has green-lighted the three-team trade, league sources tell Y! Sports.

    By the way, this means JJ Hickson is gone for sure. They have to renounce his rights in order to take on Lopez.

    It says picks too. I'm assuming like a 2018 2nd rounder.

    I'm pretty happy with this, compared to most of the other center scenarios that have been floated since April. As I've already said, I think he's a good fit and his contract doesn't cripple our future in any way. And the team still has room to make other deals. Gravy.

    Kinda the same as trading him, without the signing part. ;)

    OK so how much does that leave us for a back up PG?

    Been trumpeting this one for a while, so needless to say, I love this move. Love the offseason so far. There were no HRs we were going to land, love the piecing of cap space to parts.

    So just to be clear does this move signal that there is no chance or desire for Asik or could that still be a possibility? Just curious

    Jason Quick ‏@jwquick Blazers assistant Kim Hughes will coach the goofiest big man tandem in the league in Lopez and Leonard.

    Most likely rules it out. We don't have the cap to take him on without moving something in the process. Do you think Houston is going to want Joel Freeland and Meyers Leonard for Asik? Didn't think so.

    It would be hard pressed unless we get cap space from another deal and we can still retain hickson.

    I didn't think so I was just curious. I am quite happy with this move.

    I think the next deal will be the offer for Iggy.
