Sheridan is an idiot.


I know he has a knack for throwing shat on the wall and hoping it stick


Wasn't it Sheridan who dropped the Bron to Cleveland rumour though before everyone else?

I really wouldn't give wouldn't give anyone credit for that it was a 50/50 shot, a prediction made at the beginning of the season and with the delay it made it even more likely.

But id be ecstatic to eat crow!

If it does happen Sheridan shouldn't be the one who gets credit for breaking it. It was the Deveney guy for Sporting News.

If the Hornets want Stephenson wouldn't they have made a move by now? I'd do it...short contract 2 or 3 yrs 4 the max. He's 23 and a great player. Antics aside are the Hornets really going to be able to get a guy like this in free agency later? Next off season is not considered good via draft or FAs. Why not on a short term deal?

Plus the Charlotte bar scene gets a jump up with PJ and Born Ready on the scene. Yeah, that's worrisome.

This is kind of fortunate for us. Maybe this alloted time will allow Jordan enough time to persuade Cho into signing Stephenson

We have money, we need a SG, we are a defensive team and we could use more playmaking and rebounding, Lance is literally the perfect fit

He's not coming here. Obviously I don't know this, but I really have no idea why we wouldn't have made a move yet besides leverage. We already know the base which is Indy's offer. We could easily go 4/44, but we haven't. The only thing tying us to him are speculations because of money and need. I just don't see why we would wait so long. I just don't see this happening.

i dont understand what we are doing. Are we trying to get Lance on the cheep or are we really un interested in lance because of his antics?

I mean its not like Lance is DeMarcus Cousins where he is a talented head case AND does not win. Lance at least helped his team become #1 in the east last year. It wasn't all Paul George and God knows Hilbert didn't do ****.

Lance isn't my #1 option but I am not seeing many teams that want to let go of their SG especially since there isn't a plethora of talent at that position.

I don't see it happening either and it's incredibly frustrating for me.

He only knows what they tell him so their leaks or radio silence serve a purpose in negotiations.
