Hornets Sign Lance Stephenson 3y/27.5 mil (p67)

I'm just as disgusted to type that I kind of want Carlos Boozer as a 'starting' PF. Clifford is close to Thibodeau, and if we acquired Boozer I would hope that we use him the same way the Bulls did, whereas there's a short leash on him from quarters 1 thru 3, and play him very seldom in the 4th quarter because of his defensive deficiencies

One thing's for sure - with Lance, MKG, and Kemba on the floor, we have a solid perimeter wall around our gooey interior.

KEMBA
LANCE TO MAKE THEM DANCE HAHAHA
MKG
?????
BIG AL

Anyone know who we can get for PF?

This is also good news because now PJ can go to jail from time to time if he chooses and we are covered with 3 other sg's

Just go ahead & get Boozer :nonono:

I'm serious though...just disgusted to have to say that at the same time

Awesome contract. Give yourself a chance to hit a home run, and even if you miss it's not going to hurt that bad. Rips the heart out of Indy too. Good day for you guys.

McRoberts wasn't much of a defender either, and anyway. Just bring in Boozer for 'some' offense and veteran flare as a former 2x All-Star to make our roster that much more legit on paper

I don't remember the parameters to my bet with 'MasterIchiro' that Stephenson won't receive a deal for $10 million or more annually, but I'm sure I wanted him to stop bringing up trades that will send MKG out or to the bench, so a lot of you might be able to thank me

...and to think, most people were throwing out absurd numbers like $13 million annually. I've never seen a fan base anxious to overpay and end up with a bad contract...

Oh well, his current deal is solid, especially the short years (3-years) with the team option. That's very evident that Cho don't trust Stephenson with a 3 foot pole :lol:

Yes! Yes! Yes! Jordan got Cho to do it. We're going back to the playoffs baby!!!

The contract is surprisingly cheap though. If I were Stephenson's agent, I'd keep reminding our front office what we just offered Hayward.

Love the deal value here. I was maxing out for him at 4/40 with team option for the 4th year and this is even better.

In response we say don't act bat **** crazy during this contract and you can get a bigger one after it.

Good signing. We went from overpaying Gordon Hayward to now offering a short cheap contract to Lance. This has been one crazy summer so far. Sure his on court antics worry me, but he still has potential and is a breakout candidate this coming year after having a borderline all star type season last year.

I thought that was what was going to happen. Stephenson must of really wanted to come here. We prolly could've got him for 8M per on a 5 year contract with a PO in the 3rd because this deal is almost like giving him Messy Marv money.

I know Vonleh has had his woes in SL, but I still firmly believe that was an excellent pick and true BPA.

This deal shows what being crazy gets you. If you don't act right your value is drastically diminished. Being a goo team mate counts for something in the NBA.

I think most of understood he was a raw 18 year old big man. He will come along in time.
