Said Stephenson: “I want to be here. I feel I can definitely help this squad... It’s really not up to me.”

Bad look for Hornets PR if this is indeed true and not a photoshop. I think it's photoshopped. No way the Hornets PR group could be that ignorant.

It's not Photoshopped, I flew recently and saw it.

A month ago, that same wall was Lance from their photo shoot

What's wrong with the wall? It doesn't include Lance but the point is for people to stand in front of it with the players (which is why there's a stool in front of the empty slot).

Makes me think Lance informed Clifford he doesn't want to be on this team anymore and that they let him know they will try to move him.

So Lance was never pictured there?

Then that makes more sense.

No, but it's also funny that last month, it was only Lance on the wall. Now he's the only one not pictured

I'm the one that months ago was against Lance coming here and started the thread Just don't blow it when the signing was announced. Now with us 16-25 at the half way point of the season,I feel sorry for Lance as the chemistry just is not here for him.
He is going to be a great player someday when he is traded to the right team. AND for the record HE didn't blow it,the HORNETS did.

I think it was just a Lance only wall. And they replaced it with this. I don't really view it as a knock on Lance but more of just a change because the other wall had been up for months.

I see it as a knock on Lance if he wasn't included. He's what our 2nd highest paid player and he couldn't crack that 4 man lineup?

not that big of a deal. more of a precaution incase he gets traded than anything. why would marketing pay for new Lance ads if there's all these rumors? Not like they're saying he's not a key piece. It's about the $$$$$$

You said it. That's where I was getting at. They are preparing for life afterwards.

So it's not anti Lance tho? They're just being smart with their money. They don't wanna put up a brand new Lance ad and then have him get traded a week later. Then they have to pay for new ads. It's not like its a secret that Lance has been on the block.

If I were Lance and that empty spot for a fan to replace me in the lineup to take a photo wall was put up I would feel offended. Especially if I'm still on the team.

Tyrus Thomas is getting paid more by the Hornets this year than Lance and isn't a net negative on the roster. Stick him on the wall

Hey guys, net's fan here... what's the latest with Lance? Our idiot GM still screwing things up? What did you guys think about the proposed trade from last week?

The latest is that I'm sure Cho still want to trade Stephenson, but Brooklyn (Billy King) has to want to follow through with the deal, and it's a wonder if Oklahoma City is still interested. I really wish that deal would've happened and I hope it's revisited
