Per Woj Evan Turner and Lance Stephenson had fist fight day before G1

[clover]

Anybody still want to sign Stephenson this offseason?

Or pick up Turner?

Ok obviously lance is a hot head but turner isn't an angel. Ever since his incident with hawes I knew he was a bad teammate. His game is weak as well. You don't trade assets for more assets and you don't give up cap space for assets. We need quality players. But man I would of loved to see lance beat him up lol. Maybe this will make them both play with an edge??

Seems like it was their teammates who bailed them out last night.

Knew Turner had a bad temper ...I could see it in his game .

Honestly not crazy about either player , especially Turner.....

Stevens reminds me of the type of non discipline. Players Knicks usually sign . That's where he'll end up ,  NY or NJ.

Anybody still want to sign Stephenson this offseason?

Anybody still see signing Stephenson as preferable to bringing back Bradley?

Anyone still want to keep Sullinger around for another contract?

Anyone still want to follow their rebuild plan?

I would gladly take Stephenson over Bradley. Boxing gloves and all.

Edit: but just to be clear neither are my number 1 or 2 options. Bradley is a problem on the court while Stephenson is a problem off it.

Well, Bradley did have the significantly higher 3p% this season, 39.5% to 35.2%.  Bradley's the better shooter, while Stephenson's better at other stuff.  I'd say Bradley's the better defender, if only because he is more likely to be focused on it, but Stephenson is more versatile because can defend small forwards.  On points per possession, Stephenson has been slightly better than Bradley on both offense and defense.  I could make a case that Bradley makes more sense than Stephenson for a team that desperately needs perimeter shooting to spread the floor and that the gulf between their value as players is not as wide as some people think.

There is a pretty big difference between Bradley and Stephenson even with Stephenson's warts. The difference in their 3 point shooting isn't clearly in Bradley's favor as he's mostly a corner 3 specialist.

But rebounding, handle, assists, rim finish, free throw rate, and scoring efficiency are all superior for Lance.

And health.

I also think this is pretty mandatory reading on turner, given the Stephenson Fight:

Titus, a former walk-on guard for the Buckeyes, is the creator of the popular blog Club Trillion. In his book, he wrote that Turner -- whom he dubbed The Villain when they were teammates -- was weird and the epitome of a guy who couldnt take a joke and that Turner tried to fight (him) no less than three times and actually threw punches on one of those.

The Villain was an insecure, socially feebleminded, possibly bipolar, and often callous perfectionist who had all the talent in the world, who lacked self-confidence and the ability to trust in anybody around him, who was actually one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet when he wanted to be, and who would frequently walk around our locker room with his dick flopped over the waistband of his pants. That really is the best description I can possibly give. It should be noted that in his sophomore season he wasn’t quite as big of a hothead as he was the season before, but he still consistently made things entertaining

I'm willing to bet neither one are back with the Pacers next season.

Not surprised that two guys who have combustible personalities, and are auditioning for a contract next year, are having a hard time getting along.   But the Pacers overall team chemistry issues run deeper than just that, although interestingly, it appears Stephenson is at the forefront of some of the other issues as well.

Forefront, center, behind: any descriptor will do, I think.
