D-Will says Lakers can't afford him
D-Will says Lakers can't afford him
Look at Sacramento’s Tyreke Evans, who has struggled to find a groove in Sacramento. There is a belief the Kings will trade him if the right offer is made. Had he gone several picks lower, he might have landed with a team more committed to who he is as a player or a team that’s better at developing and maximizing players. Evans’ career might take a hit because he went too high and to a team that clearly didn’t understand him as a player. HoopsWorld
As I posted earlier in the week, I think a trade can be worked out to bring Evans to the Bulls. Sacramento is looking for a starting SF & a defensive minded C to put next to Cousins. I'd have to look at the salary numbers to see if it's even possible but this is a potential trade that I think deserve some serious consideration
I wonder if we could do Deng and Asik for Evans and the #5 and maybe a throw in like Terrence Williams...

that would be genius, williams has incredible talent but he's just...well not all there if you get what i'm saying
i think a new,systematic environment would help him thrive
Williams could be another Tyreke really...he has a similar set of skills. He's pretty athletic too iirc. One of those risk/reward things. Who knows, maybe with our coaching staff he could blossom. I'd say go for it because if it works out, Rose, Tyreke, and Williams could be a very very very dangerous backcourt. Perhaps the only issue then is we lose a lot of outside shooting, but I think we could afford to keep Korver at that point.
ya, though having a couple of guys besides rose who can create helps offset that need, but you do need that dimension...
one possibility is to trade rip and the #5 pick for a nice wing guy..or use the #5 pick to get a defensive minded SF like MKG or trade down to get barnes
or release rip and use some money saved by getting rid of deng's contract to sign an SF
some options to look at
Hmm...not sure how many good wings would be available honestly.
Then we'd need to address the need for another backup big man as well.
yep alot of extra things to be done with that trade
good is a loose term...it can be a servicable one
I think at that point we could make do with a Battier/Bowen type SF. A good defender who can knock down the 3 fairly consistently. I'd say Trevor Ariza, but the guy has shot so bad the past few years that I'm a bit wary. :tiptoe:
