Evans Drawing Interest from Contenders: Maurice Evans has been a topic of conversation in recent months because of his role as vice president of the National Basketball Players Association. But now that he’s done attending labor meetings and debating with the league’s owners, Evans is a free agent and generating interest from a number of contending teams.

Evans displayed his leadership throughout the labor negotiations and showed that he can still be a significant contributor last season in Washington. After being acquired midseason by the Wizards, Evans averaged 9.7 points in 26 games and served as a mentor to many of Washington’s young players.

Now, the Wizards would love to re-sign Evans, but they’ll have some competition from a number of contenders. The San Antonio Spurs, Boston Celtics, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers have reached out to Evans’ camp because they view him as a reliable role player.

Evans is a player that can likely be had for the new mini mid-level exception, which would pay him $3 million each season.

I liked Mo Evans. He is a solid veteran off the bench.

Some More Years! Some More Years!

Mo re-ups with the Wizards. Maybe gets to give He Whose Name a spell!

Knicks still scrambling, maybe they'll give Rio a spin, since they like ex-Hawks so much.
