Free agent swingman Tyreke Evans enjoyed a rather solid season last season with the Memphis Grizzlies and is now one of the premier free agents left available after Lebron James and Paul George signed their deals. The former Rookie of The Year winner has enjoyed many ups and downs throughout his career but seems to have renewed his value.
He has recently met with the Thunder and is reportedly on the radar of the Los Angeles Lakers according to Chris Haynes:

Lakers appear to be moving towards giving out short term deals in the event they pull off a trade for the Spurs Kawhi Leonard and also save their cap space for a premier free agent in 2019. The 2019 free agent class could potentially include Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Kawhi Leonard. Magic Johnson has wasted no time making colossal and polarizing moves to improve the Lakers.
Tyreke Evans could be a solid contributor based on the role the Lakers potentially have available for him now that they have Lebron, Lance Stephenson and JaVale McGee added to the roster. It appears the Thunder would have a better role for the veteran.
