Is there any links that can confirm this?

I saw that as well. Didn't find any proof online or on his instagram.

I asked for a link so maybe we'll get some answers.

The guy's username is illuminati, so maybe he's a conspiracy theorist?

The possibility that Lance is here is not far fetched. I've seen absolutely NOTHING about Lance taking visits to teams, touring facilities, etc. Everything regarding him has been speculation or reports on who may be pursuing, but no details.

It's almost as if the guy is one of the X-Men, and his agent is afraid to have him out among the non-mutants for fear of the public reaction.

I say...BRING ON OUR WOLVERINE!

I'm starting to think Lance is Indy's Mario Chalmers.

Yeah I remember hearing about that right around the playoffs. I'm pretty sure it isn't true though, but if it is PG is a real POS.

the whole rumor is that lance aired it out in the locker room while west was trying to diffuse the situation

evan turner got pissed at lance just throwing the dirt out there like that, and that's what led to the fight that they got into

Where's TMZ when you need them?

Time to do some digging.

Lance being here for days without us knowing about it only works if you have someone like Bonnell covering the team...

he still has the whole stomping his girlfriend thing going for him

but west, scola, and the other guys were pissed at him for instigating the whole thing. led to hibbert "boycotting" the season basically

according to rumors, of course.

So he allegedly has the girlfriend incident five years ago, has zero off court incidents for four years, then he's the bad guy for mentioning how teammates are banging each other's girls in the locker room when there was already obvious tensions?

I don't know why people keep saying "zero off-court incidents" since he's been in the league. Larry Bird and that entire locker room was constantly in his face for the first two years of him being there. Danny Granger and David West in particular. Lance was 'that guy' in this instance for airing that kind of thing out in the locker room of all places. That's what pissed everyone off. PG and Hibbert already both knew about it. (according to rumors)

He was always the topic of a team meeting or something. There's no vindication for this guy. He is what he is. He might get better - or he'll be a more volatile Josh Howard.

edit: there's plenty pictures of the woman he 'allegedly' tossed down the stairs online too. if you ever wondered what a good lawyer can do for a guy, just check that out. or take a look at how JR Smith literally killed someone and didn't do a day in jail. or andray blatche's 'friend' raping someone instead of him.

You're right Dy Lance is a huge risk, there's no doubt about it. We have the luxury of not assuming the risk that he entails, MJ on the other hand doesn't have that luxury. It's not an easy decision to give $40 million plus to a guy like Lance Stephenson.

If I wanted to keep quiet the courtship of Lance Stephenson I would just suggest to his agent that we prefer to keep things quiet so as not to create friction with Gerald Henderson who is one of our team leaders (*snickers*) on and off the court. I would make it public if I could move Gerald Henderson before the courtship but we know how that worked out. The real advantage is obvious. The secrecy makes it more difficult for rivals to game plan our offseason.

However, they should be close if that was the strategy and if it's true Lance has been in Charlotte for a couple days. I maintain if we hear no leaks today, the Hornets have been attempting to facilitate a Love trade for the Cavs or Warriors.
