Lance, Paul George, and McRoberts on the same SL team. Lance dominates. Wish we could have kept McBob. There'd be some sick passing going on

I remember watching those summer league games and Lance definitely stood out to me then. I forgot Josh was previously teammates with Lance. That would have been a good connection to have along with Kemba I bet.

Ha, 1:19pm and still just an empty table with water bottles.

I wonder if Lance is tardy for his own introductory press conference..

EDIT: Lance Stephenson's hand is almost as big as a4 paper :o

^I'll try.

Cho started by talking up his achievements: young star, leading triple doubles, 2nd in most improved.
Cho sees us as definite "Free agent destination" after bringing in Al and Lance.

Lance wants to bring the defensive edge from Indiana, likes Clifford's defense-first approach.
Familiar with Kemba, Al, MKG, looking forward to the backcourt with Kemba.
Goes back with Kemba, played against him a lot. They like each other, but "I had no friends on the court."

I hope he blows on the paper to dry the ink on his signature.
