Lance: Market Value vs Your Value

[bLACKpANTHER]

I would be willing to overpay a little bit to bring Lance to Charlotte- but the question is how much?

 

What do you think the market for Lance should be, what would you be willing to pay and what do you think he will get?

[yasuhara2241]

I said I think his market value should be around $9m. As the Hornets and due to his craziness I would only pay $7m. I do think someone in the league will overpay 10m+. 

 

This all being said. I do not want him on our team. If it happens I will support it but he is definitely on my do not want list. I do not want his crazy antics on my team.

Somebody will probably offer him 9-10. I'd be more comfortable in the 7-8 range (if long term), but I'd gladly throw out a big, but short contract 1-2 year contract as a "prove it/grow up" deal.

He's going to get more than 9 mil you guys are in over your head if you think a guy with his production isn't going to get 8 figures

Agree.

He's more in the range of 9mil per season, but he'll probably get $11-12. I don't think he'll get more than 12.

Just some snippets from Zach Lowe's Grantland article on the subject, including thoughts about Charlotte being one of the 3 contenders for his services...As he finishes the article, he states (as below) that some teams think/hope he cost himself money and that the market starts in the 6-8 range. But, he also says a team (he mentions the Lakers) could get ballsy and throw out a 1 year, 15 million type deal or one that is incentive laden. 

 

"Stephenson should fit any long-term picture the Pacers have of themselves; they know him best and he’s comfortable there. But price could be an issue. Indiana is hoping Stephenson has cost himself some money, and there are lots of teams waiting around to see if the market starts in the $6 million–$8 million range — a spot at which they might dive in. The Pacers would outbid that, but it takes only one daring team to take a leap and smash that market apart."

 

Charlotte Hornets: Michael Jordan is talking big, and the Bobcats have money to spend. Gerald Henderson and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist are nice players, but MKG is in the midst of a full-blown shot reconstruction, and Henderson can’t reliably shoot from deep or create off the bounce.

Stephenson would provide some juice for an offense that needs it, as well as ensure that Kemba Walker isn’t overburdened. He just spent four years learning a defensive system that isn’t much different from what Steve Clifford runs. Charlotte got a taste of winning, and they’re hungry for more.

So is this a thread form the 90s? Lance is the best FA ava. Nba has always overpaid, even for mid level players. Would not shock me to see 14+ for lance.

We'll probably have to outbid Indy by a lot to gain him, so is it really worth it?
