Trade, I'm told, is on course to be completed as early as tonight to make Lance Stephenson a Clipper in exchange for S. Hawes and M. Barnes

@Mecca, yeah or nay?

I like it.

I bet they decline Crawford's team option now.

If anybody can deal with this headcase Stephenson, it'll be another headcase in Rivers. He is a locker room cancer and guys like Paul, Griffin, and Jordon are going to find out how loopy this dude is. He may be a great talent, but as we all know, talent alone doesn't produce wins. There are number of past and present cases for that assertion.

It's a done deal. Now the Hornets are deciding whether to keep Barnes or not.

Hell no.

Keep J Croosover.

From what I read, Lance will be the primary ball handler for the 2nd unit.

This is a train wreck waiting to happen.

I don't see how either team benefits.....

Yet to be determined, obviously. For Charlotte, they benefit from getting rid of a guy that they don't want. Addition by subtraction for them.

Assuming Lance returns to form, the Clippers improve at SF which was a glaring weakness for them last year.
