    He's going to be really good IMO. I wish we had picked him up. He is better than Brewer, and could replace Ariza in a year.

    Great. But it should have been 1+1 non guaranteed. I believe that Stephenson is a great fit for what Pels will be needing esp in the start of the season

    Crazy how he went from being the 2nd option on ECF team to this

    Stephenson was certainly productive with Memphis, but the guy is nuts. It's an appropriate contract for him, considering that.

    A complete waste of time for the Pelicans.

    I bet lance never would have thought how his career would be headed downward after blowing in lebrons ear.

    Pelicans also already have 15 guaranteed contracts, so he might up ending as Free Agent again pretty soon.

    Tyreke is injured and will not play at the start of the season if not traded.
    The pelicans don't have any ballhandlers and shot creators that's why Stephenson will be a good fit there. Who knows when Jrue will be back.

    Technically, he's on pace to make $45M over 5, so he probably make the right decision... :grin:
