Hornets sign Lance Stephenson to 3yr/27m contract.

Well, we didnt get Heyward but Lance is the next best thing. And for a good price at that. 

 

We seriously need to deal / get rid of Hendo. Lance start and have Hairston off the bench for instant offense. 

 

 

Lance has a very good all around game for a SG. Good handle, uses his body well, finishes with both hands, decent 3, etc. 

 

This year is gonna be much better than last yr imo.

 

Kemba / Roberts

Lance / Hairston

MKG / Taylor

Williams / Zeller / Vonleh

Al / Biz

 

Edit* forgot all about Williams smh

People really will believe whatever makes them feel better, won't they?

Why would Cho waste money on one new player just to underpay another? We could also say that if he'd signed Williams to $5M a year, Cho might've offered Stephenson $10M because he could.

Well before mw signing I'm fairly sure cho reached out to lances agent. during talks the agent could have expressed lance wants/needs to order to sign. Agent could have pointed to the weakness that was 4. So in turn workout a deal, a package deal if cho lands a strech 4 that can set good screens, lances approves. No idea, im dropping a ramdon idea with no proof. Cho worked out a plan, that may worked due to each move. Most times that how it works not just dumb luck.

Ta what's your take on enes kater. Him as a player and talent/skills etc.

Not only that... the versatility he gives us is ridiculous. Perhaps the greatest value signing in the league... he could actually run point and allow Kemba to play off the ball or get a breather for different looks.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
