Ryan Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Lance Stephenson to the Hornets, 3 years, 27 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The last year is a team option as well. GREAT deal for the Hornets. They had to overpay to get Big Al there, but this Lance deal looks like one of the better bargains of the off season. The East is going to be all sorts of fun this year. Playoff teams: Bulls Cavs Pacers Wizards Horncats Heat Raptors ? Both the Heat and Pacers got considerably worse. I'm not sure how this Pacer team finds points now without Lance creating. Can Paul George carry a team? Haven't seen it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'd bet on the Horncats putting in a bid for Boozer now. It will be interesting to see where he lands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm very glad to see Lance signed with the Hornets as I said earlier when I compared him and Gordon Hayward. If I had a texas hold'em hand of crazy shooting guards I might go all in with Lance and PJ though. This season should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Man, I may have to change my Hornets outside looking in pick... not because I think the Hornets will be so great but they seem to be trying to get actively better. Big loss for the Pacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 What's the over/under of Jordan punching Stephenson, then the two getting into a full-on fist fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 It might have already happened. They very well could have bet on Lance's salary. 1 on 1 with Lance getting the max if he won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Wait.. Jordan is making quality moves? What league is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 If they can keep Lance from acting a fool, and with Boozer at the 4, this is a solid 3-5 seed team, easily. They are going to be a League Pass darling. I'm ready for the season now! I'm definitely getting to Charlotte when the Mavs come to town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 You know the moment Lance blew in Lebron's ear Jordan was all "I"M SIGNING THIS DUDE." If he does it against Kobe, MJ might give him a raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubbymark Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Maybe Jordan wanted Gordon Heyward, but Rich Cho was secretly praying Utah matched and had Lance all lined up. That's a really good deal for Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfredoE Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Pacers are gonna suck. They lost a key member and didn't add anyone near his level to replace him. Granted "Suck" out East is a playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I think the Pacers will be the equivalent of a Mike Fratello Cavaliers team. They have enough defense to keep scores low so they will be in the middle of the pack somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Heh, I still think they are a top 3 team in the East. As long as PG and Hibbert actually fucking show up, they are a very dangerous team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 That team needs scoring. Stephenson was too passive offensively. It is too bad since he shot a pretty decent percentage for the position. Needed to be more aggressive and the team desperately needed that from him. Tools are there though. At least now he won't have to worry about the delicate egos. I have enjoyed watching everyone but Evan Turner get signed. Good to see the rest of the league also noticed just how wretched he is on defense. Boston is said to have shown some interest in the last couple days. That will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Lance's possible replacement... Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine Also hearing Pacers are expressing serious interest in Rodney Stuckey to fill backcourt void created by Lance Stephenson's move to Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Getting Rodney Stuckey instead of Lance Stephenson is like when you ask for a GI Joe for Christmas and your parents buy you an off brand one at the dollar store, then try and guilt trip you about money when you get pissed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
