    He's a joke. Been saying this since his rookie season when I watched him dominate the ball and not provide any kind of efficiency to his possessions. Hasn't gotten better. He's worth about $12 million on a 4-year deal. Need to let hiim hit the free agent market. No value of any kind here.

    any team that trades for him or even signs him is doomed for failure. His game has not improved one bit since he came into the league. He is the ultimate black hole on offense and doesn't make his teammates better. The Kings made a big mistake taking him.

    Tyreke is the poster child of the "develop a player by giving him all the minutes and shots he wants no matter what" theory.

    I'd trade our picks plus the mavericks pick for him. Especially if Dragic signs elsewhere. He'd immediately be this team's best scorer.

    tyreke is the type of player who thinks he's a superstar, but will never amount to the status that's in his own head.

    He'd the the only player on this team not afraid to drive to the basket. This team settles for jumpers.

    Yeah, him and Lebron James and Kevin Durant.

    I doubt that goes along with the point you were trying to make though

    I find it utterly hilarious how people thumb their noses at players that are frankly better and more talented than any of our Rockets. You want to talk about assets? Sac has an asset that will yield them more than any single one of our can.

    I think it's a low risk/high reward from a talent perspective.
    His contract is Lowry-esque, but only good through 12/13. Does he become a RFA or UFA after that (i dunno)
    Can create's his own shot.
    Can create for others.
    Good wing size.
    Off-punch of Martin/maybe 2-way player potential? Not required to sign Lee as starter if we have Evans?
    SAC wants assets in return for their 2nd best investment. We've got 2 picks and flexible contracts work with.

    I have a feeling Dragic or Lowry could net us whatever Evans is capable of netting.

    Because GMs are freaking stupid and will go either "5th pick? AWESOME!" or "20-5-5? AWESOME!"

    I'd offer Budinger. At best. And that's probably overpaying in my book, because Budinger can shoot.

    He would be the next T-Will for us.

    A team like the Bobcats should take a chance on him if they can get him for a draft pick 3 years down the road or something.

    Agreed.....Lowry even while injured would net us more than evans on the last year of his contract.

    Dude is a ball hog, but is still young and extremely talented. If you could net him for Lowry and a pick I think you do it, then you can resign Dragic.

    this! I think i if lowry or dragic had been a fifth pick they would be more beloved by some our flamboyantly loud posters. :p
