The kid had raw skills, but he really hasn't been developed well at all. I don't understand how, since he's not a troublemaker. He could actually benefit from playing with JJ, IMO.

Holy ****! Wish we could have brought him in. NBA is becoming more and more about the advanced statistics every day.

I would go all in for Tyreke, Sacramento is a HORRIBLE situation, the owners don't care about the team, they have no money and will be moved most likely. he needs a change, JV would be a great coach for him

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

what is it with JJ and some of you. Career 9 ppg player. turned himself into a good role player, not a star but a role player, doesnt defend well, is a great shooter and now good passer. And he should be "Magic for life"?

Is it because he is a good looking, white player that people look at and say, with another 3-4 inches that could be me? I just dont get it. I dont hate on the kid, but i just dont get it.

a rookie head coach would be great for a head case player? Not so sure on that.

Honest question. How is Tyreke Evans a head case player? I've never really heard anything specific going on with him, just a lot of people labeling him that way. He's one of the guys I wanted when Dwight was still here.

I'm not sure he's a headcase, so much as he's just a kid. There is more out there than the driving incident though. He and Paul Westphal clashed repeatedly and nearly attacked each other on several occasions, most famously after a loss to the Jazz a while back. You'd have to dig a bit, but I'm sure there's stuff out there on it. In fairness, Tyreke has never really had a role defined, and criticized that publicly on multiple occasions. Westphal was terrible in that regard (Note that JV is not exactly the best at defining player roles himself). I don't think Tyreke is dangerous at all, and the riskiest part of bringing him in is what he does on the court, not off of it. He's been in the league for a while now, and his jump shot is still very far from where it needs to be for him to deserve the sort of contract he's going to be looking for next summer.

He is not overly athletic, (Evans) and has rapidly declined since his rookie season, there is a chance he could return to that but unlikely after a few sub par seasons, at this point it is more realistic to see him as Beasley than Harden in terms of production. I actually liked the Stuckey reference because that is the type of player he is and you cant just take a chance at 10-12 million per especially on a rebuilding team such as ourselves for the HOPE that he regains it. A deal like that could set us back another 4 years of suckness.

I am more aboard getting Eric Bledsoe then Tyreke.

Bledsoe IMO has more upside.....even though Evans is a very good player.

Neither can really shoot the basketball. I'd rather have Bledsoe too though.
