    Lance Stephenson just signed a three-year deal with the Charlotte Hornets.

    Goodbye Indiana, hello Charlotte.

    Michael Jordan making moves.

    The Giant is up early for work!

    Stephenson is a cancer, but for Charlotte that's not a bad move. Terms?

    Morning, Jake.

    Looks like about two years at about 9 million per, with a team option for a third season.

    I think Indiana was offering him 5 years at 44 million.

    I'm not sure I see the upside for him, unless he thinks he's going to be a stud in a few years.

    3 year 27 million

    pacers offered 5 years 44 mil

    makes sense but a big gamble

    lance wants to get out of indiana situation and be the man

    cap is gonna increase a bunch with the tv deal so I understand the shorter deal but he's gambling

    gambling on being really rich vs being really really rich

    They got someone else, but I can't remember who? I know they tried Hayward, but he went back to Utah.

    I think a lot of these guys want to see what the new CBA and tv money looks like before getting locked into long term deals. 44 mil guaranteed sounds pretty good to me, but what do I know?

    What a joke that Indiana team is. It's a good thing he got out of there. Total dump. Bird to blame.

    This team looks like a threat in The East now

    His value is his toughness kind of like a young Artest but a little better on offense

    Stephenson is in the top 10 players in the league the Bobcats are dangerous especially if zeller can step up

    Have you seen there team and what they accomplished last year? The east is wide open. The core pieces are still there but Stephenson is an upgrade. If they can get a point guard then that would make them major contenders.

    i dont understand the move
    the average pay is almost the same
    could have stayed in indiana, where he has had success, for a 3 year deal

    James

    George
    Paul
    Howard
    Noah
    Aldridge
    Harden
    Stephenson

    Top 10

    After the top 6 it is very close though between 7-25 range guys

    Just sounds crazy to me that they would be a contender. I hope they are though.

    that whole Bobcats thing never worked out, maybe all they needed was new uniforms and Lance Stephenson

    The east could be crazy weak if rose does not play well. Bobcats would not be a playoff team in the west but in the east they are contenders.

    Stephenson isnt all that bro, not sure how youre rating him so high . I honestly think he'd make a better PG than a shooting guard.

    Added Marvin Williams as well, nothing crazy but at least puts them back in the mix for making the playoffs again. Like the Vonleh pick, not a huge Hairston fan but can shoot. Solid team.
