I think that feeling is ingrained in all of us from watching him kick our butts with Indiana - hard to believe that's over-- but it looks like it is..

When I look at his 4 years as a Pacer I'm amazed at how he was progressing as a player...seemingly on the verge of becoming a solid mainstay as SG on a very good Pacer team.

Did not follow what happened in Indianapolis, or whether he simply wanted more money, but its amazing how much his career has declined since he left the Pacers.

Didn't he turn down a big contract offer as well which everyone couldn't believe he turned down from the Pacers or am i thinking about someone else?? I'm pretty sure it was him but not sure.

Ahhh...you might be right. And then he had to accept less money from Charlotte for a shorter contract...probably expecting that he could build up his value.

I think Indy offered 5yr $40M and he felt he was being undercut and wound up signing with Charlotte for 3yr $27M - so slightly more per year, but less overall. His drop off was crazy. But apparently there were issues behind the scenes in Indy, as well.

Why doesn't he fit BRIGGS???

Why T F would we want Lance Stephenson? He cant shoot the 3 he is an undisciplined basketball player and he has had character problems?????

Ahhh... the perfect Isiah pick. Get it done. Oh wait...

But as already noted, Phil won't be on the bench. And Carmelo (and KP) aren't quite the magnitude of stars that Jordan/Pippen or Kobe/Shaquille (or Gasol) were.

Lance looked liked he was on the cusp of superstardom just a few years ago. Curious why he didn't work out in Charlotte (I expected him to come out chucking!), and especially on the Clippers, where you would have expected Doc Rivers, Cp3 et all to keep him focused.
