Lance Stephenson signs with Hornets - 3 yrs / 27 m

That's true. I thought about that after i posted. Chemistry would be the hangup.

 

Just shows, he a great role player. Not to much leading a team.

 

i know i will get flamed for saying this, but lance reminds me of ron artest( just a misunderstand talent who carries his emotions on his sleeves), i think he would be great under mchale and our assistants

 

Not flaming but what makes you think that the Rockets staff would be more influential than the Hornets staff along with MJ on the bench periodically?

 

I think the Hornets should stick with him. He is so young, that team is so young. Did they expect to be world beaters right off the bat? Give Kemba/Lance/MKG some more time together...

 

I don't think the Hornets have expected much more than they have seen from Lance. The press and folks that only periodically tap in however... But he's fitting in fine, Clifford is fine, The team will be fine.

 

I guess you could say Lance Stephenson blows both literally and figuratively.

 

I have ignored the Bobcats this year, so I wouldn't know what's what and why. But Lance was a negative on both ends for Indiana last year, after the great first 2 months. It wouldn't be surprising at all if he's to blame.

His third year is not guaranteed, he would be a good sixth man

Would be hilarious

 

He wouldn't fit in the Lin TPE right?

Messed up team, but not as bad as let's say pistons.

The coach can't draw a frikkin play, too much kemba-iso and other ****

The boy is talented but another bad character situation that may turn him into another JR Smith type of player.

 

Indiana would get away with highway robbery if they got Born Ready back and a 1st round pick...

depending on who they give up.

 

ANd that's the problem, they can't give up anything worthy for them hornets

Hibbert and Jefferson combo would no way work

And pacers don't have great consistent shooters that the hornets need

 

$9mill/yr, so no. However, we can acquire him for another player that does fit into the TPE (+ extras).

If his biggest problem has been adjusting to the pressure, I'm willing to take a chance on him and his favorable contract.

Of course, I'm partial to the 2.5 stars + good role players strategy.

 

Even though his contract isn't bad, Stephenson isn't worth the risk for contending teams as a bench player because he's too much of a fruitcake.

 

Maybe Dallas can trade Parsons for him and finally be the contender they were meant to be

 

This isn't actually that bad of an idea. The Hornets could use some offense and the Mavericks could use some more defense.
