If that's the case then the brass did an excellent job hyping up their interest in Tyreke Evans to the media types.

I hope that's the board, though, I could roll with a Curry/Harden backcourt. Al would get some elbow room in the post.

Very encouraging to see Harden in that first group. What about Evans though?

Rubio. Flynn. Curry. Evans. Harding. Holiday.

You are looking at a starting backcourt for a future playoff team from a combination of these guys. How far in the future? Jonny Flynn is not Chris paul, by any stretch. All these guys have shortcomings/limitations. How much they can overcome them is to be seen.

Is any of these guys lil;ley to be as good as Rose? Paul? Brandon Roy?

These guys are the best of a weak draft. I would not want to try and build a starting backcourt from these pieces - one or two may pan out, but I don't think you know now who that will be.

I'd trade #5 and #6 for Rondo right now.

I am copying from a txt message. So hardly complete. Not sure if it means they do not like Evans or what.

Evans might as well be latin for smokescreen. memphis, Sac, and Us have all used him as a smokescreen.

5+6 for Rondo would go down as worse than Roy/Foye.

Bos is trying to sell him for anything.

I cant surf...injured feet. I am a disabled Vet. I am actually in San Jose still, just using the Opera brower on my phone instead of the normal net brower. Much easier to post. Thank you for the concern. I have done some nice fishing and I am prepping for a long-range tuna run out of San Diego down to Mexico in late july.
