Nah.
Hypothetically if we could swing a trade where it was essentially Danny Green for Tyreke Evans, would you?
Tyreke's salary would be between 8.5mil and 11mil
It's not an option so..........
No. Gotta be able to shoot the 3 on this team. Evans can't.
I think its a lot closer to being one than you think.
Flip Danny to a 3rd team get Sac a decent SF or PF. They don't want to keep Tyreke
Not like thats fixable or anything
Nah because he's a RFA but I'd think twice about someone like Batum...
Tiago and Green for Batum could be great.
Yes I would. Having them both would be even better.
Nah. Green's strength (3-point shooting, defense) is way more valuable than Evans (slashing, passing?). Green's a keeper.
Can I give up Gary Neal for Tyreke Evans instead, tbh![]()
Considering Green is younger and cheaper, no. I still would be willing to spend for Tyreke, as he could be groomed to fill the Manu role as best he could. He's essentially a 6'6 point guard who can score. Evans should and will get paid more than Green, but Danny is blossoming into a great defensive player and is already an elite outside shooter. Perfect fit for the Spurs
Tbh I think that's a legitimate possibility. Bring back Manu and Splitter, let Neal go, sign Evans with the rest of the cap space. Sorry, Nando.
Green is older tho.
If we're able to bring back Manu/Splitter AND bring in Evans it would be a heck of an offseason
of course, with the hope that Baynes gets a shot to crack to rotation
no i wouldn't, i would give neal and decolo though..
That would suck. Green's more valuable to the team than Batum would be, and then you throw in losing Splitter...
Anyway, Green can be part of a sign-and-trade package for Evans. It wouldn't love the deal, but depending on the other off-season moves, it could work out.
damn, good call. hadn't realized that at all
that said, Danny is at least growing as a player and the arrow is pointing way up on him, whereas Tyreke has not made any great leaps and bounds. I will credit the Sacramento organization for that though, trying to force him to play different positions, bringing him off the bench, etc. Keith Smart imo was the worst coach in the NBA
Batum can put the ball on the floor better and is longer. And he's younger with possibly a higher ceiling.
Batum is vastly overpaid but starting him next to Kawhi could be pretty awesome.
Evans has regressed each year he's been in the NBA. Having been on a team of selfish players, he's also become a selfish ball-hog himself, who doesn't play any hint of defense. Green has already proven himself as an emerging player for the Spurs. He's a better shooter and defender. There are no comparisons. Green is clearly the better fit for the Spurs.
I would rather give up hanga's rights and de colo for tyreke.
evans becomes our new ginobli
No it wouldn't. Neither player is a two-guard. The more people try to make Leonard a guard the worse he's going to be. He's barely a small-forward offensively as it is.
And if Batum hasn't reached his ceiling after five years and seven figures, I don't know why people are assuming he'd hit it now. Green, though, we know hasn't hit his ceiling, since he's gotten appreciably better each season and has shown flashes of being able to do the things he needs to in order be a better player inside the arch.
He needs a fresh start, tbh. What's the motivation in playing with such selfish players? Bringing him into a contender's environment will definitely help him out.
I really hope that the Spurs are interested in him. I'd love to have him on this squad. Been thinking about it and he'd be a great fit imo. A PG/SG who can create his own shot and break you down off the dribble. Would be a great replacement to Manu imo, and would take some of the burden off him as well.
I know he's been labeled a selfish player, but he's young (only 23) and playing for a terrible team. I think the Spurs would make him a much better and more efficient player, and he would make us a better team. I'd rather have him over Iguodala tbh. Not only because he's cheaper, but because he's a slightly better fit imo. We need a creator, and that's what he is. He can shoot the 3 too.
He's a RFA though.. and the Kings would likely match any offer unless it was a ridiculous one unfortunately.
And to those who think he's overrated or can't ball, watch his game tape. He's legit. And this is on a ty Kings squad. Imagine him with the Spurs.
would give them blair for him
