Lance Stephenson option declined .....
His deal wasn't much at all. That tells me we plan on using that money for something else obviously. 4 million for a veteran backup isn't much at all, and he wanted to be here.

Lebron to Indy?? Lol J/K.
Yeah they're probably looking at a bigger fish. That was a solid PO.

Sucks for him unless someone picks him up for more. I'm guessing he also got annoying and many other teams will feel the same.

They have his bird rights. Im sure they are just trying to maximize room to chase RFAs.

I wouldn't be surprised if they make a play to get Paul George back. Oladipo and George would be deadly.

There won't be much of a market for Lance so if Indy can't find use for their cap space chances are they'll just pick him back up on the cheap... Smart move.

Actually I don't think so. With a minute to digest it, Pritchard said this off-season goal was to get as much shooting on the team as he can. Lance didn't fit that, obviously.
Read immediately following this that Will Barton is the target.

If LBJ returns, the Cavs should pick him up. Assuming that they get back to the Finals, Lance is good for getting Draymond suspended for at least two games.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

The amount of money Lance and Nerlens have left on the table is shocking.
The hottest of takes...

I don't see Tyreke Evans as a big upgrade for them tbh.
Not big enough to justify twice the money on a deal that's three times longer, anyway, and that's probably what it would take to sign him, at least.

I like Lance on Indy - he’s just pure entertainment - I really hope it’s just so they can get other players and then add him back w/ bird rights like it was said upthread.

Maybe it was his lack of discipline? Seemed out of control too often.
