Just saw on ESPN.  Chris Broussard just commented that the Charlotte Hornets are very interested in Lance Stephenson and plan to make a strong run at him.

 

Wll update when I find internet link.

 

This was on Sportcenter right before FIFA pregame.

Not sure how I feel about this. Good player but not worth BIG BIG money

I suppose it could be possible that Henderson could be a part of that undisclosed trade with our 2nd round pick.  Sign Stephenson and Deng and we look pretty good.

 

Kemba

Stephenson/Hariston

Deng/MKG

Zeller/Vonleh

Jefferson/Biyombo

 

I guess if that did happen McBob is probably gone, but hey worse things have happened.  Considering Cho has said that backup PG is a huge need.  It could be that Deng is the secondary option if we can't land Stephenson.  Then we could probably resign McRoberts and sign a backup PG.

I doubt Chris Broussard actually has a source on that, but a lot of people have speculated about it and I absolutely agree that we should go after him.  Players this young and talented rarely become available as unrestricted free agents, and Indiana will have a tough time keeping him and staying under the tax line.  We may not even have to overpay

 

He's a little out of control on the court at times but players tend to improve on that as they gain experience.  I would love to add a guy with his competitiveness and ball handling ability (we really need someone else who can take the pressure off Kemba at times). 

 

Zach Lowe had a good article a few weeks ago about his upcoming free agency

Ariza, Parsons, or Turner could all be viable options as well at SF.    

 

If we're planning on really seeing what MKG can do this year, keep an eye on PJ Tucker.  He could compliment him well.

Broussard is an idiot. Hope it's true so.

I would be extremely excited! Lance would make the most sense tho regarding FA. He fills a need and def can generate the floor. Instantly upgrade Kemba at P/R.

If it's any comfort for you.  He seemed like he was honestly reporting.  He almost called us Bobcats.  I don't think a guy stuck up the Heat, Lakers, Bulls, and Knicks poohole would report on us if there wasn't some truth.

Agreed.  Not sure if we could land Parsons and Stephenson...maybe Ariza, doubtful for Tuner.  Not saying Deng is the best option....he just definitely not the worst, and he could fill a role we need filled.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
