Chris Broussard: Hornets going to make a strong run at Stephenson.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

When you sign a max the end amount is variable actually. His deal would be for 25% of the cap for 4 years. So when the cap goes up so would the yearly salary (it would go down if the cap happened to go down too).

True.

So the deal actually increases. I believe the cap for next year is supposed to be at $66.5 million. So the deal escalates from $15.8 mil to $16,625,000.

I see all the hype for lance but Hendo averages more ppg wtf.

That's because Henderson averages one more shot per game than Stephenson and two more free throws per game. Stephenson is actually the better shooter and more efficient scorer (and offensive player).

I just think he's a better competitor, and a more fluid athlete then Henderson with a better a handle.  Henderson is a one trick pony.  Baseline off balance fade away with occasional nice dunk.  He also seems to be a better passer.

You're projecting your fantasy on others again.

Not that there anything wrong with your life style choices.

But don't try to put your thoughts on everybody else loose booty.

Stats are the most useful thing to judge a guy on. But I agree that was a dumb statement by the "ppg" guy, there are so much more stats that go into how good someone is that points.

From purely an outsider "eye test," many times during the playoffs Lance Stephenson was the best player on the court for the Pacers. He and David West seemed like the only two players remotely interested.

 

He's a very polarizing player who has a unique way of playing the game much like the Bad Boys and Dennis Rodman and all sorts of other very effective players who were characters. I believe his "antics" were blown way out of proportion by the Worldwide Leader who obviously have it in their own interest to create storylines that have LeBron as the center protagonist. Lance was an easy choice for a villain and therefore an easy scapegoat for the Pacers' issues down the stretch despite having a complete non-factor at point in George Hill and Roy Hibbert inexplicably going from All-Star to DeSagana Diop.

 

If you're concerned that Lance might be a team obliterator here, consider this is one of the best locker rooms in the league with an unquestioned leader in Big Al. We have a defensive-minded coach in Steve Clifford who would appreciate and utilize Lance's skillset. Hairston falls out of the lottery because of his past troubles and is a slam dunk of a pick but you don't want to get the best SG on the market because he doesn't do things the right way? That doesn't add up.

 

The 2013-14 Bobcats were a lovable bunch of underdogs who made an unexpected run to the playoffs and played hard and were good guys and all sorts of other wonderful good, clean, family-fun intangibles but at the end of the day, the sheer talent on the roster wasn't THAT good and it was painfully obvious in the Heat series, injured Big Al or not. Lance Stephenson injects talent into this roster and, because I don't believe the market will be skyrocketing with teams trying to offer max deals for him, I think he's worth taking a flyer on.

 

At the end of the day, $8M Lance > $8 McBob, Sessions
