Wouldn't be surprised to see him resign in Indy after the Pacers use their cap space on a bigger free agent.

When you say Pacers use their cap space on a bigger free agent, whom are you referencing? Is Indy a destination?

Yes, anyplace with cap space is a destination. And to be fair, most players are bigger free agents than Lance.

Lance should sign with the Warriors. Just like Javale and Swaggy P (Nick Young) did, saying NBA Champion Lance Stephenson has a nice ring to it.

Interesting. At 4.3M he is dirt cheap by nba standard today. He was also the guy they kept going to when they needed someone to create a bucket out of nothing in that first round. Yeah his off-court issues are well documented, but Pacers seemed to be his place.
