For a package that nets us Tyreke Evans in the end?

Depends on the rest of the package...

Unless I'm misreading the numbers, Sacramento has enough cap room that they could have offered Sessions a deal identical to the one we gave him. So, although I consider Evans more valuable than Sessions, chances are Sacramento thinks so all the more.

Now, if this idea were revisited a year from now, when Sessions numbers have been massively boosted by getting full-time starter's minutes and Evans has struggled to master the point, you might have something...

I'm not so sure about Tyreke and his skills but aren't his skills contradictory with Flynn?

This is crazy ...

Sacto can draft Rubio, but draft #4 Tyreke, and Minnie draft #5 Ricky and #6 Flynn, and now you want Tyreke and send him to Sacto. ¡And Kahn don't want trade Ricky rights!

Is this basket or Monopoly?

Harden and Evans were the two most talented SG prospects in the draft, and both were gone when we picked. I don't think it's rocket science. Some people are looking to trade one of our 3 young talented PGs for a talented young SG.

As for SAC, I think they'd be better off trading either Martin or Evans and picking up a true PG, but I doubt they trade Evans unless someone bowls them over.

Good post. This why Sessions should not be leading the current Trade Value voting. Half the teams in the NBA could have used their MLE and signed Sessions for our offer, and given up no lottery picks. Now, maybe they never asked, or they had lux issues that a trade would help vs. an outright signing, but Sessions just went through the open market, so we know exactly what the market will bear for his price.

I will say though skydragons that I like the thinking here, and it may be something worth revisiting. Both Sessions and Tyreke Evans are high-upside players, and depending on where we and the Kings end up, this is something to keep an eye on later in the season because of better potential fits.

Right idea, wrong person.

Sacramento had Flynn neck and neck with Evans. They need a PG, they need a distributor, and their best player is already a SG.

Flynn + not that much might net Evans. Evans could play 13 mpg at PG and shift over to SG for 15 MPG unless we decide strictly a SG.

On paper that's a good idea for both teams. Even though it would suck to get rid of Flynn.

Yeah my apologies, I forgot to put down that reason... When Evans more than likely fails at the point, where do Martin and Evans fit?

They'll need that pg, we'll take that sg, as already stated. That was my thinking.

The only problem with this thinking is that Evans looked terrible at the SG when he played for Memphis.

Agreed. How about Flynn plus nothing?

And of course, saving payroll > saving cash

Of course at this point, both teams may reject it. Once we've picked him, we tend to fall in love with the upside of whoever we pick.

Could we play Evans at the point and Sessions off the ball and then switch them up on defense?
