I hope you guys end up with Lance Stephenson.
Pacers don't deserve him. They don't deserve sh*t.

Lance is flying out to Vegas to meet with us right? That must mean he's interepsted and seriously considering playing for us.



I'm a little excited

Somehow I don't think this will humble him.

I just hope we make him an offer to beat the Pacers but also be fair and not outrageous even though we seemingly have to overpay to attract FAs anyway.

Pacers are right up against the luxury tax threshold with their current offer on the table, so I don't see them being the source of a bidding war, unless they start dumping salary. Not sure how much wiggle room Dallas has at this point, but I'm assuming Parsons has them out of the running as well. We can likely offer a couple of mil more a year than Indy for a slightly shorter term with a player option as a feel good move (no trade kicker, please). This is exactly the right type of risk we have to take - 23 year old border line all-star who would be a max player in this market if not for his reputation. Will be a genius move or blow up in our face (or ear).

He´s a Hornet:

Rick Bonnell ‏@rick_bonnell
The Charlotte Hornets will sign Lance Stephenson to a 3-year contract, the last season a team option, the Observer has learned.

Rick Bonnell ‏@rick_bonnell
Under terms of the deal Stephenson will make $9 million next season and in 2015-16, with a slight raise in the 2016-17 team option.

Awesome. Our entertainment value (for better or worse) just went through the roof. As did our gangsta quotient. Happy about this move. If his play on my 2K14 Bobcats team is any indication, we'll be very happy.

BRAVO!! WE HAVE OUR STAR!! WELCOME LANCE!!

I heard the news on Mike & Mike, they had breaking news from Chris Broussard, and he gave out the info!! Talk about a fist pump!! Great contract, 3 years, $27M, third year is a TEAM OPTION.

Lance is betting on himself that he will be an all-star and get a bigger payday. THIS IS AWESOME!!! :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

This is GREAT news for us, but now we gotta find help at PF. I will forever despise McRoberts

The GREAT news that become even better news with signing Stephenson is that we don't need a PF that has to facilitate like we needed McRoberts beforehand since Henderson can't facilitate. Stephenson will now take on the role of secondary ball handler and based on his track record he is just as willing to shoot the 3-pointer as Gordon Hayward at similar percentages
