OFFICIAL: LANCE STEPHENSON TRADED TO CLIPPERS FOR MATT BARNES AND SPENCER HAWES

[CCU Norman]

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

Just saw this, not a fan myself

Spencer Hawes is a good 4 don't sleep on him

[Meatloaf]

How many 4s do we need?

[Omega Atrocity]

If it happens it's more of a death sentence for Biyimbo's tenure in Charlotte. Hawes SHOULD play backup center.

[Jase]

I predict that if this happens, neither one of them makes it to the roster in November. I have a feeling cho wants some less toxic assets to trade on draft night.

[CCU Norman]

Honestly if you look on Lance ig he post video of him working out. And his 3 is looking better. Looks like he is taking it more seriously. Rather keep him and if he doesn't do well then dump him

just terrible what a fuging joke

[teeray]

Sounds like things are heating up on this.  Bonnell says it is up to Rivers now and we are all ready to go with trade

[teeray]

  @southroncross: From what I'm told by multiple sources, this is now Doc Rivers' call. @hornets ready to move forward on this trade.

[teeray]

That tweet was by Bonnell, not sure why it is showing different 

[FuFuLamePoo]

Lance will ball out in LA

[FuFuLamePoo]

Probably means Bizz is gone too.  Our best center gone when he could be kept for super cheat.  I'm furious.  Can't wait to see Barnes in the game instead of MKG when we're up 2 with 20 seconds left because Cliff values that shooting!

I dont like it all either. If we were just to dump lance would rather just pick up a future pick and another one year deal player, dont really see the advantage of trading a guy with one year left for Hawes who has 3 left and will just keep the young guys down more.
