Former Rookie of the Year and current New Orleans Pelicans wing Tyreke Evans is on the trading block. Where should he go?
Thus far in 2015-16, no team has been more consistently involved in NBA trade rumors than the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans have come on strong as of late, but with a record that’s well below .500, a fire sale is widely expected.
A new name has surfaced as a potential trade piece for general manager Dell Demps and the Pelicans.
As far as New Orleans’ potential trade options, Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon have dominated the rumor mill. They aren’t necessarily the only options, but they’re most commonly referenced as the Pelicans’ key trade pieces.
According to Michael Scott of Sheridan Hoops, the Pelicans are now fielding trade offers for another big-name asset: 2010 Rookie of the Year and starting wing Tyreke Evans.
Sources: Pelicans are listening to trade offers for Tyreke Evans and gauging his value. He is on the books for $10.2 million next season.

The question is, where should he go?
Evans is one of the most polarizing players in the NBA. He contributes significant numbers in virtually every statistical area, but struggles with his jump shot and has been criticized for lackluster defensive results from a player with his size, athleticism, and versatility.
Should he land with one of the following teams, Evans resurrect his star potential and become the players many projected him to be.
