Trade with Charlotte

[GreenWarrior]

oohh so this trade didn't actually happen? these darn misleading threads.....in the wrong forum no less.

Once the January deadline passes I think AB + filler for Lance may be a surprisingly realistic option. I might take that gamble.

Charlotte isn't letting us touch MKG.

This. Stephenson would be a great fit on Steven's read and react "motion" type of offense.

I like this one better

Gives us some length too and athletic ability.

no possibility Charlotte would agree to this

DA would be fired if he traded sully for cody zeller.  All these proposals are atrocious.

I think this is actually a pretty good deal. Bass is a nice backup to Al Jefferson, and I bet Bradley could co-exist with Kemba Walker. I don't think MKG is that great - he can't shoot! He's a D and ? guy.

But I don't want to watch Stephenson mock opponents for our team. He plays a style of basketball that I think is often disrespectful.

Not a Paul Pierce fan?

Good point.

I cringe at the idea of this clown Stevenson in green.

Stevenson - the player is a good prospect. However with Smart we have everything he can provide and more.

Stevenson - the locker room virus and based on no real achievements "Born ready" stuff - I absolutely do not want this guy in green.

I will never forget this:

This is Lance in a nutshell - capable player, absolute ****. Perfect fit for the Lakers.

Just curious, have you ever shared a locker room with Stephenson? How do you know he's a locker room virus?

As long as he can play on the court and help the team win, he can dance the tango naked in the locker room as far as I am concerned.

Also, I think we need to really pump the breaks on Marcus Smart.

Yes, he showed flashes of brilliance in that double overtime game vs the Wizards but we still don't quite know what kind of player he will develop into and, he's already gotten injured twice this season.

I feel this team right now needs a kick in the ass and Stephenson could be just that guy.

What he went 2-10 again and got posterized on  a block by Noel and blank bagged on another?  I would rather take a flyer on a kid who is seven foot tall and has a 35" standing vert than a 6'7" guy with a 29 vertical.

Sullinger had been performing consistently at a very high level for almost 20 games before this recent slump. He's fine, just needs a rest.

Not on Defense he has not been performing well.   He is an solid rebounder.

But I call BS on this one.

Look at his splits, their not very consistent.  He has some good games here and there but was awful on d in all of them.   I liked his D a little better tonight but then again Noel had a career night against at times.

You and I definitely have different opinions of what is high level.  The above stats are not high level.

His December splits (against very tough opposition) are 16-9-3 on 48% shooting.

I think that's quite good, even assuming that he's not all that on defense.
