I'm late to the party but I'm all-in now. The more I think about it, the more I think Evans could easily be the needle-mover Olshey has in mind. 23 years old, former ROY with elite talent. Coming off a very efficient season.

Evans would immediately be our 3rd best player behind ROY Lilly, and Aldridge. Dont understand some people here.
I don't think there is anyone here that doesn't agree with you. We are talking about other players possibly available. Obviously if I had a choice; I'd rather have Evans than Iggs too. But we can't always get what we want and we should talk about all options. If we get Evans, then we can talk 100% on Evans.
Well, Batum and Leonard should be able to land us something nice. But I think it might be better for the near- and long-term to get a cheaper defensive center, keep Batum, and develop Leonard. Dream scenario is landing Evans and Asik. Is it possible if we trade Matthews?
I think Batum is essential to have if you get an Evans (or Iggy) type player. He spreads the floor. Batum is a perfect complimentary type player. Maybe over paid for the 4th best player on the team, but none-the-less would fit in well with the other three.
Maybe not the worst idea. Robinson is a nice prospect and I'd probably agree to your trade. But if the Rockets could be talked into #10 and Matthews for just Asik, wouldn't that be better for us?
I would would pretty happy with a Lillard, Evans, Batum, LMA and Asik starting line-up. Its not perfect but it would be fun and it would compete for sure. Not sure if its realistic or possible.
His three has improved but since teams have adjusted (crowding him) he doesn't look like the Roy-esque he did during his rookie year.
No offense, but it doesnt seem like many people watched Tyreke all that much this year. This season is arguably his best. More efficient (better decisions shooting, scoring, passing) which shows that he is starting to mature (I honestly thought he would be like JR Smith, a talented but immature glorified chucker) but he is proving that wrong. He also plays on a team that lacks any sort of chemistry that all try and get there own stats filled out. With a poor coaching system and an inept front office. And Im pretty sure he wouldn't be our 6th man.
I think you are right. My question is..... did you? Or are you going on just his improved stats? Not trying to be argumentative here, but like you said I wonder how much anyone watched him this year. I probably caught "partial minutes" of only about 10-12 games. (Which is not much at all)
