Trade will send Tyreke Evans to New Orleans Pelicans

People familiar with the trade say Sacramento, New Orleans and Portland have agreed to a three-team deal sending guard Tyreke Evans to the Pelicans, center Robin Lopez to the Trail Blazers and guard Greivis Vasquez to the Kings.

The people, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because NBA rules prevent confirmation of trades until July 10, say Portland is sending second-round draft pick Jeff Withey to New Orleans and a future draft pick to Sacramento as part of the deal.

Evans, rookie of the year in 2009-10 and a restricted free agent, averaged 15.2 points with the Kings last season, his fourth. The 7-foot Lopez averaged 11.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. Vasquez averaged 13.9 points and nine assists.

J.R. Smith and Pablo Prigioni are staying in New York to help the Knicks build on their success last season.

The sixth man of the year and the point guard from Argentina both agreed to multiyear deals, their agents confirmed.

Exact terms of the deals won’t be known until July 10, after next season’s salary cap has been set and contracts can be signed.

The Charlotte Bobcats agreed to a three-year, $40.5-million contract with free-agent center Al Jefferson from the Utah Jazz, said people familiar with the situation.
