If we did sign him I think he should wear #23.

I think that would be funny.

the guy who reported it works for Sporting News, which is based in Charlotte so he probably actually knows something

If we can sign Stephenson, we could save some grace from how ugly this free agency has looked for Charlotte so far. To me, Stephenson should've been priority #1 this offseason for the Hornets, and the rest would've fell in place. I honestly think Stephenson is currently leaning back towards Indiana, but hopefully this report is true, and they can find a way to persuade him to wear teal & purple next season

Please get this guy. We will probably not make the playoffs next year but at least we'll be entertained.

thats the same article that has been floating around all day, even before we signed marvin and prior to bonnell stating that he is convinced we are not interesting in lance. this changes nothing. still once source vs another.

I don't think the Pacer take him back at the price he wants. Indiana can't afford to go any higher than their low-ball 8.8M/yr contract due to the luxury tax.

Bonnell has just spewed the same "we're not signing lance" bull **** all week. Doesn't mean anything.

Not that far away from the truth either.
