anybody worried that this is still on the table?
Now, post draft, it would be Evans and Thompson.
I like Thompson and think he could be the long athletic big that we need off the bench, but I'm just not very high on Evans....
the thing that worries me are the reports that Danny was after him in the days before the draft.
Why would this trade happen now if it didn't happen draft night?
Well if many of the top big men FAs are looking to sign elsewhere, then maybe getting a big via trade might become more appealing.
and like i added to my original post, the Cs interest in Kidd is a little confusing.
Yeah, that's true.
If it's true the Celtics are after Kidd, it only makes sense if we are looking to trade Rondo.
Maybe Danny is waiting to see if he can actually sign Kidd before pulling the trigger on a Rondo trade?
I don't know if the Kings would do that trade though. Trade away a top draft pick prospect and a part of their promising frontcourt for an admittedly very promising and very good young PG who supposedly has attitude issues (something Danny spent the last week making clear to everyone who would listen).
On the other hand, Evans is NOT a PG and they really need a PG. They already have a star player at SG (Martin). It would have made much more sense for the Kings to draft Rubio instead of Evans. Maybe they chose Evans because they have a potential deal set in place with Danny (who supposedly loves Evans)?
