On the Come Up: Will Tyreke Evans’ $44M Deal Add Pressure After Being Traded?

A three-team trade went down in the NBA over the July Fourth holiday and the main thing you want to remember is that Tyreke Evans is now playing for the New Orleans Pelicans.

The details of the deal include Greivis Vasquez being traded from the Pelicans to the Sacramento Kings and the Portland Trail Blazers receiving Terrel Harris and Robin Lopez from New Orleans.

Evans has been waiting for his chance on a better team for a while now and of course, the Pelicans aren’t any better.

But that four-year, $44 million-deal definitely made Evans decision a little easier.
