Maybe a draft trade rumor

Color me not impressed by Evans. He barely shot over 40% from the field last year and under 30% from three. Perhaps it's a good trade to then parlay mid-season into something more, but long-term, no thanks. He can't run a team and can't shoot like a swing really needs to in today's NBA. Maybe I'm wrong and he could evolve into a Wade-type two but um, yeah, I doubt it.
I'm not saying I wouldn't do it but man, I wouldn't be thrilled about it. How effective are Harris, Evans and Jefferson without the ball?

I heavily doubt this rumor, like all others. But from the Kings' perspective (if anyone on the Kings is seriously considering it) I'd have to think the thinking would go: Does anyone imagine Evans in a long-term winning situation, or is he more of just an "I'll get my numbers" kind of guy? Maybe you can get by with one of these types on a team, but not two (Cousins & Evans).
If there is any thought from the Jazz side, maybe the thought is that an Evans/Hayward backcourt combo could actually work.

Personally, I'd rate Evans in the top 5 of the entire NBA as a driver. Pretty close to unguardable first step and a nifty ability to finish in traffic. As a talent, I'd love to get him. But there are two problems: 1) He needs the right offense and 2) His head. You worry about a guy who drove 120 miles an hour on the freeway with police chasing him for FUN. I'm actually pretty forgiving of immaturity in 20 year old multimillionaires, but I wonder how forgiving KOC is.

Yeah, I guess to dump those buttnutts, get a hell of an athletic 20 year old talent in Evans, and the #7 pick is a no-brainer. Personally, I'd love Biyombo there and BPA at #12. Either way, we'd have a hell of a lot of assets with contracts that aren't killers.
Harris, Evans, Hayward, Jefferson, Favors, Biyombo, #12 pick, GS pick. Mna, I guess that's a lot to get excited about.
One of my favorite Ruckers Park vids (show it all the time). Love the 6 second mark, but good all around.

I would definitely do that deal and I still believe in Miles. But only after an exhaustive character check on Evans. You wonder why they'd be willing to part with a guy that talented.

When you fix something could you bold the changes. It's annoying to have to re-read posts to find a one word change.
As for the rumor, is this the one from a kings board that was using a bleacher report article as the source? This sounds the same and it wasn't an actual rumor. It's based on a Chad Forde tweet that said the Kings like Knight. That's it.
I forgot about Evans character flaws. I'd be surprised if Utah would take that on.

Sounds too good to be true.
Kyle Busch?

Tyreke Evans needs a good head coach. He has mad skills, but he played out-of-control on a bad team. Tom Nissalke, really killed him on one of the Jazz pre-game shows before the Jazzz played the Kings. He said he had a sophomore slump and needed a good point guard to play with.
