The 3rd year can be a team option but ONLY if it's a raise over the first 2 years. The decision is yours Larry but just to let you know, Charlotte has already committed to these terms. You have 1 hour. I'm gonna go get some coffee and let you two discuss."

      Larry says to Lance, "Man, that agent of yours drives a hard bargain."

      Lance quickly replies, "OH no Larry that's not my agent. He's my Indiana Members Credit Union manager."

          He chose to sign with the Hornets. It was his decision to reject Indiana's deal and sign with Charlotte.

          Yes, his agent certainly ****ed up but Lance is the one that signed the papers in the end. If he truly believed that Charlotte was not the right place for him and wanted to stay here he could always reject Charlotte's deal and sign with us.
          He didn't think the Pacers were an option.

              Lance actually played pretty well.

              Kidd Gilchrist played really well, led the team in +/- , but didn't play down the stretch. Whatever.

                  Well, since we are wheeling out the stats...talking smack at Lance and the fact he didn't play in OT.

                  Roy...our all-star's performance for the game was considerably worse:

                  27 minutes / 2 FGM - 7 FGA / 0 3ptM - 0 3ptA / 2 Reb / 1 Assist / 0 Steal / 2 Turnover / 5 Fouls / 6 points


                  Edit: BTW, Roy is a 2 time all-star and has numbers like this on a regular basis for years in Indiana. No kidding. ...and people think calling Lance just an "all-star caliber" player is some kind of stretch...smh.

                    The difference: Roy Hibbert has made two All-Star games. Oh, and the entire defensive end of the court. Cherry pick your rebounding stats all you want, it's the most replaceable statistic in the game.

                          No doubt. It is good to relax because it helps focus on the point. Roy Hibbert, if surrounded by the right players, could not only be an all-star C but also an NBA champion. Don't most of us agree on that, including the Lance detractors?

                          So, while he struggles in some situations, Roy is the poster-boy for the fact a player can indeed be an all-star player while not being effective in all situations. Yes, Ace, this is indeed a shout out to you and your theory. If someone is an all-star, they cannot always make it work whenever and wherever. Roy is proof of that. I'm not even saying Lance is an all-star...just all-star caliber which is borderline IMO...less praise than Roy gets. So, there should be even less expectations for Lance.

                          But on top of that, we have seen Lance and Roy in the last post season and Lance clearly outplayed him. This isn't about ripping on Roy at all. This is questioning why people rip on Lance when Lance has shown more when the lights are at their brightest. He was born ready and he has only started to live.

                            Trust me I'm relaxed, Pal! I know how many different turns it's taken. I've sat back and read just about every post, in amusement. I just find it funny that EVERY time someone brings up Lance's stats, IN THE LANCE STEPHENSON THREAD, someone brings up a different Pacer that struggled in our last game and absolutely kills said Pacer player. Yeah if you go through 15 different players on the Pacers there is bound to be someone who struggled worse than what Lance did. We can't talk about Lance without bringing up a current Pacer player and how much more talented Lance is/was/will be.

                            And I'm not mad or hostile or any of that nonsense...I find this thread VERY amusing and wish it continues on. We all need some kind of release from time to time.

                            CARRY ON!!!

                              Cool. The other players are brought up for one of two reasons. One reason is that they supposedly replaced Lance...so it's quite appropriate to talk about them here. The second reason is that there is this idea that an all-star caliber player will perform well in any situation...and since Lance isn't having a good year so far in Charlotte...he's just not all-star caliber. You simply cannot avoid the elephant in the room that is Roy Hibbert when trying to make that case. That's why Roy's numbers are on display here.

                              I like Roy as the Pacers C. He can definitely be that guy in the middle on a contender or even winner of it all. So, I'm not ripping on him at all. I'm saying not all very good players like Roy perform well in all situations and at all times. Players like LeBron, Kobe, DWade and even Ray Allen are not only superstars but HOF'ers who are the best the game have ever seen. Of course they will play well anywhere. That is not true of Lance Stephenson or Roy Hibbert.

                                Damn Stephenson has been a disappointment. He looks lazy especially on defense. I think his main problem is he tries to look to pretty on the court.
