Not a bad all around type of player...good contract..
Absolutely. It's appalling to me how they've basically handed the keys over to Tyreke without even so much as TRYING to assimilate the other players into the offense. It's downright lazy of the coaching staff and ownership to continue to let Evans shoot 25-30 times a game, and dominate the ball for 16 seconds every possession.
He obvously wants the Rockets. Les should get him for all the Israeli and Jewish money. He'll be like the new Yao Ming.
He's system player who'd flourish here if Rick stays. At this point I'd trade him for Terrence Williams straight up. Kings seems to like the TWill type (Evans, Greene, Thornton) Casspi finishes well around the basket and has a real pretty mid-range game.. something our wings lack (3pter or nothing). Doesn't address team defense issues, though.
Casspi's a good player, I'd take him. But I could see the Nets trying to get him, for obvious reasons. They could use an upgrade at the 3, Casspi's young, and they're moving to Brooklyn.
tyreke reminds me of a young steve dribble dribble dribble shoot I don't really see how he can coexist with cousins.
If he's really not in the Kings' future plans and we can get him for relatively cheap it would be a good pickup. He's young, athletic, and a good shooter like Chase, but better defender and taller (6'9''). I want the Rockets to get a cheap upgrade at SF (rookie contract or draft) so any significant spending will be for a center.
he also is more physical than chase. I wish chase would go up strong when he goes to the hole instead of throwing up that horrible floater or looking for the foul.
i watched the allstar "horse" game and this guy coudnt do EASY stuff like around the back layups and such, the guy has ZERO handles and a very low "natural talent" level.. i liked him until i saw how uncoordinated he was with the ball in his hands like that.... sounds dumb, but it was that bad... My friends had no idea who he was and they just thought he was a complete joke..
