The Washington Post labels Lance the least valuable player in the NBA and gives #s to back it up.. OUCH!!!

 

[PantherBrew]

I remember people talking about giving him max money

 

lols. 

[Dexterity]

I tried warning people Lance is just a flashier version of Gerald Henderson. They are the worst shooting wings in the NBA. They are even worse than MKG.

If there has been a more negative free agent signing based solely on on-court performance literally right from the start I'd like to see it.

[PantherBrew]

I think he may have gotten a little lazy or out of shape. 

 

Cause if you watch his jump shots, he gets no elevation on them.  

 

I don't know trying to figure out how his shot could have gotten so awful. 

[bLACKpANTHER]

in actuality, its not that bad of a contract.. compared to some of the worst everrrrrrrrrr:

 

Lance Stephenson- Hornets (3 years, $27 million)

------------------------------------------------------------------

DeSagana Diop- Mavericks/Bobcats (6 years, $32 million)

Josh Smith- Detroit (4 years, $54 million)

Eddie Curry- Knicks (6 years, $60 million)

Larry Hughes - Cavaliers (5 years, $70 million)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and finally....

 

 

 

 

Gilbert Arenas- Wizards (6 years, $111 million)

I feel sorry for the fans that snagged a new Lance #1 jersey. I almost did. Dude is straight trash, homie!

[Omega Atrocity]

It's also only 2/$18 million really, because of the team option. Yeah, he's been a bum, but it doesn't rank very high on the awful contract scale. As far as expected production vs. actual production, it's absolutely one of, if not the absolute, worse.

Same here.

And Hendo has played better all season.

As a Dubs fan of like to throw the Adonal Foyle and Andrus Beidrins contracts in for consideration.

Henderson and MKG have been miles better tjan Lance this year. At this point Lance's offensive skills are comparable to Ben Wallace but without the defensive presence.

[bLACKpANTHER]

Rumors are that he is untradeable right now and will remain in Charlotte. I know people will take him if we include a 1st round draft pick, but don't think Cho would cough that up. Unless we get a Thad Young or Dragic or Afflalo or Chandler

[CCU Norman]

I think lance is still hurt from his pelvic or hamstring pull. I think the all start break will be good for him. I think when he comes back you will see him playing defense of a mad man. Then he will be a pass first gaurd with some streaky shooting but will be more consistent then he was. Or it wouldn't suprise me lance comes back out of shape. I never know with this guy

Don't get your hopes up for anything from Lance. The dude is pretty much a bum now, which is incredibly disappointing.
