http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--hornets--lance-stephenson-141352816.html Just a rumor but it's spencer hawes and Matt Barnes for Lance stepson. Don't like it. Spencer hawes contract is 3 years and a little less than Lance. Matt Barnes I like not because it's a one year contract he plays defense and shoots. Thoughts? I'd like it if they threw in a first rounder or two

 

Updated...   Now official per NBA Gametime app. - proudiddy

I don't like this at all. Lance's potential is something that our entire season next year could rely on. If he sucks next season, he'll be a free agent so it won't be a big deal. Hawes is a 3 year commitment and his ceiling is nothing special. Barnes is a solid player so he'd be a nice get, I still don't like it though.

    • i love people with no medical experience making tenuous assumptions based on, uh, the fact his dad sucked in every practical lab in med school and had to go into psychiatry its fun to think of what these same fans would be saying with any other profession "well his dad was a cardiologist so obviously he knows how to stay calm." "well his dad was a neurologist so oviously he keeps his brain waves at a low level and isn't at risk of seizure, which is good (obviously)." "well his dad is a surgeon so he knows how to overcome his lack of confidence over height." "well his dad was a pediatrician so that's why he looks like a child, but kids don't get injured easily and have limitless potential so-"
    • Oh it’s made the decision easier knowing we were years away from competing. He just obviously didn’t think it was some sort of clown show as he took a job with that staff and still hangs around to help. Injuries were the major concern. Willis retired “early” as well, plus there was another very young LB in SF that did. Positions that take a lot of impact are starting to not push themselves too late in their careers to protect their long term health. 
    • Obviously his health was the reason but the state of the team definitely helped. Luke doesn't strike me as someone who cares about individual accomplishments much at all. He loved the game and he wanted to win with the Panthers.  He wouldn't risk his life to go chase a ring elsewhere. It was difficult for him to step away from a team that was bad, if the Panthers were serious contenders I really think he would have tried to see it through.  Everything worked out the way that it was meant to in the end. It was sad seeing his career cut short but if he had a suffered a serious injury from football I can't even imagine. EDIT: To be clear I don't think the medical staff was part of his decision at all. It just helped that the team was far from winning a SB when he bowed out.
