point to the 22/3/4.4 assist line on 45% shooting. i'll wait. my god.

at the time, people thought tyreke would explode. he put up 20 ppg as a rookie. so much hindsight being used here. then he had an off year and most people blamed the dysfunctional kings for that more than evans actually not having upside beyond his rookie season numbers.

eric gordon was a 22 year old sharpshooter who looked primed to be a 25 ppg guy who was a solid defender and maybe even could be a really good defender. that's a damn good player to pick up in a trade. compared to a 12/3/2 in 26 minute no-defending ass Harden (basa'll tell you, people were starting to call him a flop), he looked primed to be a star that season. Harden busted out in 11-12, after the trade, not before.

there was definitely risk involved there and there were better 2 guards (tho not many better young prospects at the 2 at the time). but no need to throw "jamal crawford status" bullshit in out of the blue.
