Yardbarker: Reggie Evans

If My Dog Played Basketball

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:50:00 -0500

Everybody knows that my dog Yams really likes basketball. As you can see she clearly 'nose for the ball' and she is pretty aggressive when going for it. I think that means that she'd be a really good rebounder, and would probably get a modest contract from the Houston Rockets because of efficiency. Which is cool since she'd be the first female to play in the NBA. But sometimes, I wish she was a more skilled basketball player. I wish she could do other things besides just rebo...

BDL mini-chat: 10 best big forwards of the last decade

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:30:00 -0500

Big and burly and fearsome and tough and effective. Elvin Hayes, power forwards, all that nonsense. In a way, it might be the easiest position out there. Hear me out. Sure, Dennis Rodman or Reggie Evans(notes) might be out there to do terrible things to your lower half, but you also don't have to guard centers, or chase around small forwards. You get to set screens on little guys, and get an open shot as a result. And if your team's 7-footer stinks, and most team's 7-footer doe...

News From the Front: Reggie Evans Traded to Toronto for Jason Kapono

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:53:35 -0500

Well, while the rest of the NBA's GMs are off improving their golf handicaps and getting to know their grandkids for the first time in eight months, our own Ed Stefanski is working tirelessly to make sure that the six-game first-round exits that have embarrassed the 76ers the last two seasons do not haunt the boys to the tune of a threepeat. To that end, the first big move of the off-season has been made: lunchpailin' power forward Reggie Evans to the Toronto Raptors in retur...

Sixers Forget How to Play D, Fall to Suns

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:11:09 -0500

Our man Saul Zebovitz gives us his thoughts on last night's loss.Let me begin by just saying that last night was an awful, awful game that Sixers could have and should have won... but played like they wanted to lose. And lose they did. The biggest problem in this game was that no one played defense. We all came into the game knowing that the Suns don't play D, but I expected the Sixers to be able to run just as well as Phoenix, but als...

Reggie Evans Isn't Getting Traded...Yet

Sun, 19 Aug 2007 04:14:31 -0500

The Nuggets have no use for Reggie Evans. At least as long as K-Mart returns from injury like he's supposed to. Reggie has skills -- he's one of the leagues best rebounders -- and it make sense to trade him rather than let him rot on the bench. But why trade him right away? His value is only going to increase as the new season progresses, and as long as he's on the Nuggets bench he's insurance in case Nene, Camby, or K-Mart get hurt (which is almost guaranteed). Evans will get traded, but not until the last possible moment.
