The Hornets have regretted signing guard Lance Stephenson to a free-agent deal over the summer and are trying to trade him. According to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports and FOX Sports 1, the Hornets tried to deal Stephenson back to the Indiana Pacers. The Brooklyn Nets are another possibility. Also, I've heard the Denver Nuggets mentioned recently. FoxSports.com

Faried anyone?

Mozgov and Chandler would ideally be who they'd dish out.  Chandler could be interesting but OKC maybe making a big push for him.  Faried is interesting though but I'd like to think we could get more than just him in a Lance trade.  So much speculation...ah the beauty of the NBA trade market.

Afflalo isn't that good.

 

 

No he's not, but he fits the team better then Stephenson does. He's a shooter with a career 39% 3pt percentage and he's gotten better and taking more of them the last couple of seasons. Not an ideal situation but still better then Having Stephenson and Kemba in the same backcourt. 

 

 

We all know Kemba isn't being traded, so the only option is to find a taker for Stephenson.

My gut tells me Lance is gone tom.

If the Hornets want any shot at squeaking into the playoffs they have to act now!

 

 

The problem for me is Stephenson is being a scapgoat and he shouldn't be. 

 

This team overachieved last season and Al put more effort in defensively then he has this season for the most part. Also the rest of the team fit around Jefferson better defensively last season as well. 

 

 

Honestly and I've been saying it since he was picked up, but Jefferson was the mistake signing. He's below average on defense (that's me being nice about it), a black hole on offense, plus he's FG % is low for the type of shots he attempts.

 

Kemba is a below average scorer, decent passer/floor general, decent defensively, good ballhandling.... But he doesn't fit with MKG or Jefferson.

 

 

 

They spent all that money for nothing, now they can't figure out that the real mistake on the team is the two pieces they refuse to move. 

 

 

 

For Jefferson to truly work, you need a stretch 4, d and 3 SF, and a 3pt specialist at the 2, plus a pass first PG who can knock down open 3's reliably. Then you have to rely on Jefferson to pass out of doubles and find the open man and swing the ball for the open shot.....Just like Orlando back in the Howard days.

 

 

The same System that Clifford is running here.....We just don't have the pieces to run it and we won't be getting them.

      What we had then, what we have now...

      By d-dave · Posted

      If only those guys grew on trees? The 2015 team was really special.  That was such an incredible year until the Super Bowl. What happened was the owner let the football people handle football decisions.  We had a front office that made some really good decisions.  Just hit on FAs and draft picks at a high level.  Those guys became GREAT players.  Our head coach held the team to a standard, but allowed them to be themselves.  That let so many of those guys grow into vocal leaders and tone setters.  Then we had Cam play lights out for the entire year.  We had a defense led by Luke, one of the best to ever play.  We had guys like Greg and TD who were so smart and tenacious. That was a special team.  The biggest question is how do we bring that back?  We don't because we can't.  Instead, we need to build up the team again.  Bryce is not Cam, duh.  Maybe he's not even the guy next season.  But there are some dudes like DB, Horn, Chubba who are all high character, effort productive players. As team, they need to lean into what they do well, and give Bryce his opportunities to prove himself.  If not, you keep building the best team and work on that QB.

      Did the Panthers get Mike McDaniel fired now?

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was less than thrilled after the Miami Dolphins lost against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, 27-24, dropping their record to 1-4 on the season. "He was really frustrated, just like I was," head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday. "We talked about the challenge ahead to get ready for the Los Angeles Chargers, and that was really the extent of it." https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25257873-mike-mcdaniel-admits-dolphins-owner-was-really-frustrated-after-loss-panthers
