Lance Stephenson to the Hornets; 3 years, $27 million

[bosoxlover12]

Offensively, this backcourt is fineeee

Defensively? Ugh

 

[bosoxlover12]

Yeah, I don't see Indy finishing in the top 2, and I wouldn't be totally shocked to see Washington pass them for 3rd

 

[dez]

The 20/game won't be efficient at all. Maybe 17/18 on 41/42% is more realistic

Their really gonna miss McRoberts though..

 

[Pugz]

id expect 17/5/5 on decent %s from lance.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Probably more rebounds

 

[dez]

His percentages I'm sure will be low.

They basically told bruh he's the main option.

Lance chucking

Who else could they go after? Not many SG's left on the market and not to mention they've already used their MLE.
 
They either need to get one through trade or bring back Turner on bird rights and hope he turns it around

There's a guy by the name of Gordon who loves Indiana and Indiana loves him lol

Seriously though, I could see bringing Turner back on a one year deal, but you're putting yourself in a hole if you do anything more.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Would they just give him away though? Indiana doesn't have many trade chips

 

[bosoxlover12]

Nor salary room. Indy would have to trade away Scola, Hill, and Watson for Gordon

Yeah well they could hypothetically change out Scola for Mahinmi and Watson for Copeland and it'd still work, but yeah.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Still would have to move the starting PG to get Gordon, so it's still a backwords move

 

[Pugz]

Probably more rebounds

i was going to say more but im not sure if he's gonna care as much about that lol

 

[BwareDWare94]

This guy is such a dumbass for walking away from 5/44. My God, what goes through these guys' heads? It's not like he signed a significantly better contract. 

 

[Hurricane Season]

I wish MKG would figure it out.  This team would have a legit shot at a 3 seed.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Who would have thought? The 3 worst teams just 2 years ago are all probably Top 5 in the East, with 2 of them potentially in the Top 3

 

[jonathanlambert33]

It wouldn't happen in a million years but technically a three team deal where Charlotte gets Stephenson, Indiana gets Gordon, and New Orleans gets Chris Copeland would work.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I'm hearing Gerald Henderson might be sent to Indy, to save $6M for the Hornets

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Which would be an upgrade for sure but as much as I love Henderson that's still not a great Plan B. I'd still roll the dice with Turner

 

[bosoxlover12]

Indiana fucked up, for sure.

 

[bosoxlover12]

The best available FAs for Indy to target are Turner and Stuckey. Ouch
