Title: C's "inquire" about Tyreke Evans

Trading Evans for aging, declining veterans, or worse, for other players who hear "pass" and immediately think "four-letter word," would be an absolute arena emptier.

But the Kings should be – and they definitely are – willing to listen. Given the inordinate number of injuries suffered by players on contending teams, a healthy Evans will generate more interest by the day.

The Memphis Grizzlies, who are aggressively attempting to shed payroll and are shopping small forward Rudy Gay, have made inquiries. The Lakers and Denver Nuggets have long been intrigued. So have the Boston Celtics.

If they trade Green to Sac, he will be back in Seattle next season, lol

The more I read that quote, the more I wonder if its referencing when Danny tried to trade for him in 2009...."long been interested" doesn't sound recent to me.

Do we really need Evans with Bradley back?

The quote says that only Memphis has made inquiries.  The other teams, including the Celtics, are merely historically "intrigued."

Sure, if they'll give him away for Terry or Lee.

I think he would definatley help us a LOT.  His ability to score along with his ability to play multiple positions - both are things we are sorely lacking right now.

Also Bradley + Evans makes I think one of the best Off/Def combinations in the NBA.
