I think we should go all out at giving Lance Stephenson a shot at redeeming his pro career in MSG with the 15th spot on the roster.
I believe getting Lance Stephenson to sign a one year contract at the veteran minimum would keep players Courtney Lee, Lance Thomas, and Ndour playing at their top-notch talent to keep their minutes from decreasing .. 2nd unit lineup .. Jenning/Stephenson/Thomas/Quinn/Hern .. could give the starters plenty rest.
History ...
Lance Stephenson signed his first free agency deal with the Charlotte Hornets two years ago, and immediately struggled mightily for both results and fit. He was very soon dealt to the L.A. Clippers as a blatant reclamation project, and yet was absolutely not reclaimed there in any way, managing only a few months before being dealt once more at the past trade deadline along with a first round pick in exchange for Jeff Green. The big struggles Lance had in Charlotte and the bigger struggles on the bigger stage that is the current Clippers team overshadow the fact that he actually played extremely well in his three months with the Grizzlies – the more powerful narrative is that since leaving Indiana, Stephenson has been exposed as a system player, and that system has gone now.
What u think?
Im still wondering why Phil Jackson move so fast to give guaranteed money to Plumlee, Baker, and Sasha?
