On March 9, Beijing time, according to the famous Shams, the Warriors tried out Evans this week, and recently, he also had a meeting with the Bucks.
The Warriors reportedly met with Terek Evans in the Bay Area and tried out the 10-year veteran of the league. Previously, Evans was banned by the league for three years, and recently lifted the ban to re-qualify for the NBA.
Evans has the title of Mini James, and in the 2009 Draft, Evans was selected by the Kings with the fourth pick in the first round. In the rookie season, he averaged 20.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game, which can be said to be the peak of his debut.
With his outstanding performance, Evans overpowered the likes of Curry, Harden and DeRozan to win the rookie of the year. However, Evans went high and low, and in 2013 he was traded to the Pelicans and his career began to decline.
In 2019, Evans was disqualified for violating the league's drug policy. After a three-year ban, Evans finally re-qualified.
Now, the Warriors have also thrown an olive branch at him, in fact, according to Golden State reporter Anthony Slater, the Warriors auditioned Evans in Miami last week, and he made a good impression on the Warriors management. It is worth mentioning that Warriors general manager Meyers was once Evans' agent. The Warriors had a go after Evans in the free agency market in 2018.
As a result, the Warriors will have a second trial for Evans, and for now, he has a chance to get the Warriors' contract. However, if the Warriors sign Evans with a veteran base salary, the contract will be worth $501,010, which means they will have to pay an additional $3,131,312 in luxury taxes. So, before giving this contract, they must have absolute confidence in Evans that he will help the team in the playoffs.
