In a free agent market in which everyone, save for Kyle Lowry and Shaun Livingston, is getting big-money deals, you would think Lance Stephenson would be able to find someone to back up the Brinks truck.
Apparently, he hasnt yet though.
And he might not.
The Pacers started the bidding, reportedly with a guaranteed $44 million over five years (no word if there are any player/team options in there, either of which could change the deals attractiveness).
Since then, it has been crickets. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports said his sources saw the market for Lance as tough, giving the Pacers some good leverage despite their not-overwhelming initial offer.
Now there is a report, from Joe Cowley of the Chicaho Sun Times, that the Bulls made only a token inquiry, seeing Stephenson as a fallback option if they cant make a big splash (i.e., signing Carmelo Anthony). Chicago doubts the have the ability, in a fiscal sense, to sign Stephenson.
