The Golden State Warriors reportedly had a meeting with Tyreke Evans yesterday, but they’ve officially missed out on him.
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is reporting that Evans agreed to a 1-year deal worth $12 million with the Indiana Pacers.
Given that the Warriors had already given their mid-level exception to DeMarcus Cousins, all they could offer Evans at this point was a minimum contract.
It was going to be an uphill battle to get Evans to sacrifice money on the mid-level exception, let alone a minimum contract.
The Cousins signing probably eliminated the Warriors from the Evans sweepstake, although it was conceivably still possible Evans would want to join the Warriors just for the chance at a ring.
