I bet 10 million or more so he won with me (ESPN reports Dallas had 2 years 20 million on the table and he was ready to sign if Houston matched Parsons). The Yankee Oracle (Mr KIA) would have had to select the Hornets logo for his profile favorite NBA team. I thought it would eliminate some confusion (on his part mostly). Liverpooty bet 9 or more so Mr KIA lost that bet. You can see the outcome of his loss in his file signature. I'm not allowed to put MKG in trade packages anymore.


HAHA, thank god for that.

I won my portion of the bet. Was spot on with the 9 million a year. I took it easy on him though :)

That Jordan had met with Lance face to face!

I didn't see it either but it has been mentioned by multiple posters.

The double Lance cam with Lance and Drake blowing in Paul George's ears was hilarious

This is part of reports published on legit websites and stories (just saw one on MSN sports page). Jordan is receiving accolades, and I tip my cap big time.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

No wonder we got Lance at 9 per, AND the team option on the third year.

How we got that team option is freaking insane. Agents normally never agree to a team option for a player of his caliber, normally its a player option.

Props to both Cho and Jordan for getting it done. Its obvious that there was no way in hell Lance was going to tell Jordan no to his face, which is probably why Indiana didn't even get a chance to match the offer.

And there's this from USA Today

According to Stephenson's agent, several other teams offered more lucrative deals but their side wanted to work with the Pacers.


And ESPN reported Lance was on the verge of accepting a 2 year 20 million dollar offer from the Mavericks before they got Parsons.

His agent definitely played hard to get to lure these more lucrative offers. I think the goal was to get the Pacers to up their offer but they couldn't. It seems Jordan sealed this.

Its almost impossible for a young African American male to turn Jordan down in person.

Hell, it would be hard for anyone to turn him down. That'd be a very hard and intimidating situation to be in.

Are you saying if you were a young black dude, you'd sleep with him?

A new bromance blossoms. I thought you'd never get over Chandler Parsons. 15 mil per for that guy.
