IT'S TIME TO VENT CHARLOTTE..IF YOU WATCHED GAME 6 LAST NIGHT I"D LIKE TO HEAR YOUR OPINION on LS!

Hand swipe to James face was intentional.
Standing over James and not moving where James had to put his head in Lances crotch to force him to move was intentional and he should have been T up.
The boilermaker he put on Norris Cole was intentional and the SOB should have be thrown out and fined 25K

This guys a lunibin :banghead: :banghead: is a bad example for kids coming up.
I hope nobody signs him . As far as I'm concerned he can go play on Rodman's N.korea team..

What a joke!!!!!!!!!

I want him now. We need some attitude, scoring and not being afraid of the heat on this team.

The man is a fool and a gave the Pacers a poor rep. If there is anything I am wanting to maintain is the good/respectful rep and our fighting spirit. I don't want our team to be known as the team with that fool. I can't even imagine him with the likes of Big Al, Kemba, and MKG. His personality is drastically different.

I go back and forth on wanting him. We do need a severe talent upgrade, and he would provide that.

Lance doesn't have 'attitude,' he has the crazies. After reading more I honestly think that he is the reason the Pacers nearly fell apart after the all star break. Guy is talented, but is a net negative team wise. Forget chemistry on whatever team he lands on.

I think the litmus test in a situation like this is asking yourself if you could ever imagine said player being pursued by the Spurs.

If they Spurs don't want them, I don't think we should want them.

Per RealGM article, the market for Lance is expected to be soft. That is good.

My feeling is this: signing Lance at a reasonable contract is a gamble, but a very good one. He is young, needs guidance, and will realize after this season that he needs to change. Put onto the right team with quality leadership, we have a chance to capitalize on his prior stupidity. This guy is very talented, and fits our needs well. Think...what player could we realistically get this year, or even next year, that could be such a difference maker? For the Hornets, we need one significant player to add to Kemba and Al. The window is now for maximizing our time with our near All-Star center. Lance is the right kind of gamble...one that I think will pay off.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

If we could get Stephenson for 8/24 or something id like that I would take that and run. That would still leave us plenty of room to sign some solid backups. We traded for Stephen Jackson and he was half crazy as well.

I say we sign Lance, trade the #24 to the Knicks for JR Smith and make Stephen Jackson lead assistant.

Might as well get Gilbert Arena's agent on the blower as well.

let some other team take the chance. we worked too hard to build this team back up from nothing. the best things about this team are chemistry and the close lockerroom. cousins is the type of knucklehead you take a chance on, not stephenson.

I'd take Lance if Randle fall to us at #9 and we don't have to draft a SG.

Take Lance, draft Mcdermott, and we complete most of the holes on this roster

There's a difference between "attitude" and immature douche bag. Big difference.

I want him badly. This team needs some crazy, and this team needs a skilled two-guard. Let's get us a crazy, multi-skilled two-guard in free agency. I'd happily pay 3/30 for him.

Doubt he would do that on this squad. Way too much leadership
