Maybe a draft trade rumor

[NCJazz]

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.

There is some definite question marks about Evans, but my current hometown team of Memphis picking Thabeet over Evans was a disaster. Could have at least used him in a trade.

Do it after the draft when Jazz selects (whoever Kings wants) and Kings selects Knight.

Knight and Evans would make a good combo IMO.

If the Kings are able to draft Knight, they probably won't trade Evans.

I figure the kings can't deal with 2 head cases in cousins and Evans. They have a good 2 guard in Thornton so why not trade Evans to get a some exp and the player you want in the draft.

Isnt Thorton unrestricted?

Tyreke had a bad year, but is supremely talented. The one thing he did improve was his three point shot. 30% at age 21 is not bad. I'd do that trade in a heartbeat.

I'd avoid Tyreke Evans like the plague. Way too much of a volume producer for the stats he produces.

If that would miraculously happen, the Jazz would be definite play off contenders. Tyreke is a stud that can play PG or SG. I know its a ridiculous comparison but he reminds me of Lebron a little. He can rebound, pass, nice mid range and is a big strong guy that uses his body very well to finish. And Tyreke has only been in the league for 2 years. That being said, no way they take our scraps and the #3 for a future All star in Tyreke and the #7 which we could get Biyombo

Definitely. They would definitely contend with Sacramento, Portland, Houston, Golden State, LA Clippers, The Senior Citizens team in LA, and Minnesota for the 8th playoff spot.

Wait, are you talking about Tyreke Evans or Jimmer?

 

[Favors Flave]

Evans is a guy that doesn't contribute much unless the ball is in his hands, and he's not really a go-to scorer unless he's a "PG" creating a mismatch.

I always hate this saying. Wade, Lebron, all the superstars need the ball to contribute. They have to dominate the ball just like Evans.

One thing I do like about Evans is his ability to create his own shot and love when he posts up. I really hope we have a shot with him

I'm not a big Jimmer guy, but come on. The guy was possibly the best shooter in college last year. Everybody needs to shoot in large volumes to get 45+ points, but it's not like he's taking 30 shots for 28 points/night.

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

Ok I'll bite. I haven't watched Evans too close. Could you explain why he is a head case?

This is a good question. Having a speeding video plastered all over the internet and television didn't help. This video showing him being arrested, placed in handcuffs, and put in a squad car has left many saying he's trouble. He plays with attitude, he at times even displays attitude with his coach .. but I see it as just being passionate about the game.

Oh and the speeding thing was only that, speeding. Yes, he was driving EXTREMELY fast ... dangerously fast .. but when the cops showed up he pulled over, didn't resist, and cooperated fully. No drugs, no alcohol, no resisting. Lapse of judgement, but far less of an issue (imo) than what you could say about half the players in the league. He was speeding.
