Chris Broussard: Hornets going to make a strong run at Stephenson.

[Zaximus]

You're right....no one wants him especially this year.  They won't touch him with a 10 foot pole.....but if he has a decent season and with a year less on his contract next year it would be more likely.

 

Yeah that is how I feel also, we're stuck with him this year.  I still don't fault us for signing him, we had to retain a SG and we had not much else, so we overpaid a bit.  I always thought he'd pan out a bit better but the comparison to LaFell is pretty spot on lol.

To a degree....but we never resigned Lafell after his rookie contract, and to be honest Lafell while he didn't live up to our expectations made about what he was worth.  A better Panther comparison would probably be JSTEW  just with the contract being less extreme for Hendo.

I posted this in the free agency thread, but Indiana just signed CJ Miles to a 4 year deal. They're going to let Lance test and see if he gets more. I don't think he is back in Indy.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Lance is only 23 and he has all star potential. He's played well the last several years. He's a tough street baller who is not afraid to be the bad guy. I for one love him. He catches all this criticism for blowing into precious little Bron Bron's ear hole. I personally hope he does that every single f'n time we play the Heat.

His prime is still in front of him.

Not saying I'd want to pay the max for Lance....but if we have tooo to get him....then we have too to get him.

Even with the max we could still sign Nelson/ and could probably find a way to make room for McRoberts.

Collectively our depth and rotations would be the best in the league.

1st team 2nd team 3rd team

Kemba Nelson Pargo

Stephenson Neal/CDR/Hairston/Hendo Hairston/CDR/Hendo

MKG Taylor/Hairston Tolliver

McRoberts Vonleh/Zeller DJ White

Jefferson Zeller/Biyombo Biyombo

Talk about coming at you in droves.

It's funny because I've heard analyst talk about how we've taken Indiana big men back to back.....but they forget about DJ White who we originally drafted....also was an Indiana PF/C

How are we going to have a 23 man roster?

No one wants Henderson though. The only way we trade him is if we take on the same money. I don't think anyone wants him enough just for his talents.

Maybe we can attach a future draft pick to get a team to take him. Somebody like Philly with cap room could take him and add another pick to their assets. Play him for a year and a half, use his expiring contract in another trade to gain another asset. Two assets gained to take him for 1.5 years

[Matthias]

Yay.  Let's bring in a guy his current teammates can't wait to get rid of.  It's my opinion by the way, that Lance's game won't get any better from this point on.  It doesn't look all that dynamic, and teams were catching on later in the season.  Do not want.

*** it why not? It's not like we're salary strapped

I'm on my phone so I'm not gonna post a link, but Matt Moore of CBS just reported on twitter he turned down 5 years 44 million from pacers.

So 10/year is probably the lowest we could get him for

[Manos]

I'd be OK with giving him 4 years at 44 million with year 4 being a player option. Bringing in Lance also means McBob is less of a need because lance can distribute pretty well for a SG.

Max contract overvalue? Yes

Then just wait for 2015 free agents
