This is a good read. Shows how important Lance was to Indy's offense, talks about some of the negatives Stephenson may bring. And talks in depth about how this affects the Pacers, the Hornets, and the landscape of the Eastern Conference.

It also talks about why this was a good bet for the Hornets.

i feel like alot of the national media is writing that this signing is a bigger blow to indy than an upgrade to us.  I couldnt disagree more, lance fits with the defense first persona this team has embraced since clifford showed up and if you look at his stats you might be suprised that he shoots the 3 at a higher clip than hayward did.... the best thing that ever happend to us was utah matching that contract to gordon, that deal is a albatros.

2017-18 Charlotte Hornets:

PG- Kemba Walker, 27

SG- Lance Stephenson, 27

SF- Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, 24

PF- Noah Vonleh, 22

C-- Al Jefferson, 32

6th- PJ Hairston, 25

That's a potential lineup after 3 years when Lance potentially gets paid big bucks. If those guys develop & reach their potential, we'll have championship team that's still ridiculously young, yet experienced. Only uncertainty would be Big Al. Not sure we would be able to pay all those guys & keep Jefferson.

Michael Jordan swung for the fences when he bought the team & gutted the roster. Not sure if he's gonna hit a home run or strike out, but he took one hell of a swing.

You know what becomes more awesome each and every day? The hiring of Steve Clifford. This could prove to be the best signing of all if he can continue to mold these players into pieces that fit his system and he gets the buy in and respect from pros that few NBA coaches can get.

Why would you be surprised when it's been said a thousand times (by me) over the past few weeks?

I think the problem with Lance is that he thinks he's better than he is and I'm not sure who in Charlotte will keep him in line other than Al. This is another take on Lance, someone who is super talented but NBA history says will flame out and burn his bridges http://hamcj.wordpress.com/2014/07/18/lance-stephenson/

 

I hear that Michael Jordan guy commands quite a bit of respect around the league.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
