Hornets aggressively looking to upgrade Wing/Power Forward - Appear to be looking to move Stephenson

[carolina-chuck1]

All said he needed to be traded, brought up more turnovers than steals and shooting 19% from three.

Said MJ is responsible for making a horrible decision, cited him saying Lance was the missing piece and a "LeBron stopper."

Signing Lance was not a horrible decision. Dumb media.

Lance would be great next to steph curry. You can't have a backcourt were both players struggle to shoot threes

You and I could rack up assist numbers next to Steph Curry.

I believe our current loosing streak shows how important MKG is to our team. I honesty would rather us trade for a PF over a SF considering we have MKG and Williams can play SF. Most trades has us trading MKG and/or Zeller which I am totally against. I could see us trading away Henderson and Biyombo but I believe MKG and Zeller are going to be good players and continue to improve every year.

With all the talk from Curry talking about coming to play for the Hornets I wouldn't be against tanking this season and getting some top draft picks. By time Curry is a FA our prospects will be coming into their prime and we will still have cap room.

I can imagine our future lineup looking like this

Curry

PJ Hairston

MKG

Vonleh

Zeller/ Big Al

Kemba as 6th man.

I don't know if we will keep big Al around in a few years but I see Zeller and Vonleh being starters soon. If we can afford Big Al and Curry we will be a great team.

Who are you going to trade him to GSW for, because that's the only way that's going to happen, lol?

Seems like GSW would have to give up more than Barnes, but they are 15-2. Not sure they'd want to move two pieces for Stephenson (Barnes and another player or Barnes and a draft pick), even though I think he adds more to GSW than he does to Charlotte and Barnes would add more to Charlotte than he has to GSW. 

 

Lance has a much different game than Curry and Thompson. Barnes has a similar style to theirs, with 1/3rd the opportunities (He averages 7 FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS, whereas he'd get twice as many in Charlotte). 

 

They'll probably end up with Waiters, lol. Stephenson playing "with" LeBron. The media would eat that up.

I'd rather move Clifford than Stephenson.
