This fool Lance Stephenson working on backwards 3s warming up before a elimination game, down 3-1. He's a clown. Smh

I saw that too, and couldn't do nothing but shake my head. Whatever team pay him over $8 million is going to regret it, but if his market value should end up going about $6 million then he'd be good value regardless if he's a headcase or not

Mike (Philly): Chad, I'm really enjoying the back and forth pieces between you and Kevin about the prospects (still miss Hollinger, but I'm a big fan of Kevin's SCHOENE system). In today's piece about Exum, you said the Sixers could draft him and you said "I think the more obvious fit comes if they trade Carter-Williams, an idea I'm told they have bounced around." Could you elaborate on what you've heard and the seriousness of it? Does that mean they don't think MCW is a future allstar?

Chad Ford: Sam Hinkie is as asset collector. There are no untouchables on the second worst team in the NBA right now. Carter-Williams may have over performed a bit this rookie year given the situation he was in. If a team blew away the Sixers with an offer for him, yes I think they'd consider it. They like Exum and if they got another piece for Williams that made them better in the long-term, I think they could be willing to let him go.

I've always loved watching Ray Allen play. There isn't anyone else who's come into the league since who plays like him. I guess Curry is kind of close, but he isn't as complete of a player as Allen was. A Shuttlesworth clone would immediately be my favorite player in the league.

i am happy to read more people coming out against signing stephenson. i do not want to spend big bucks on him. i think he would be a toxic addition to the team and he doesnt address our biggest needs and will get paid like a fringe all-star.

Yeah, I believe Im against Stephenson now. Extremely talented, but somethings missing. Not sure what it is.

After sleepwalking through the first half the Pacers have apparently realized they don't want to lose at home at least.

Lebron on the bench with 5 fouls before the end of Q3? Like the league wanted to prove something after all the noise from IND about foul disparity.

No worries, still plenty of time for the zebras to hand feed this game to Miami.

Is likely what we will be saying in a few years.

I think Hibbert and Zeller have some secret bet to see who can fall down more.

Marcus Stupid is the last thing we need on this team and it's not even because of his mindset.

Stephenson is on James right now instead of George. He is a freaking bulldog.

I know Bosh said post-play isn't his thing anymore, but that was George Hill guarding him.

Speaking of dumb: Paul George.

LOL, **** you LeBron. There should be fines for offensive flops as well.

If Indiana would have kept Miles Plumlee instead of trading him in a package for Scola and benched Hibbert this series would be amazing.
