Removing Tyreke Evans from Pelicans equation could spark arrival of bonafide player

Tyreke Evans is one of the best players on the Pelicans roster, but the problem is that he doesn't exactly fit with the team's scope and strategies. In his brief 2016 stint, he averaged over 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists a game. These numbers look very good in the general scheme of things; however when Tyreke was on the floor in Alvin Gentry's system, the ball stopped moving and the offense became more predictable.

That being said, I opine Evans will not be in New Orleans when next year rolls around. He never fully bought into Gentry and I'm not sure the head coach bought into his attack-first guard.
