What do you guys think about Lance Stephenson?

He's a FA and the dude is a beast! It seems like he is flying under the radar a bit. Most people have him ranked below hayward in terms of top FA's that will be on the market in 2014.


If we can't reach an agreement with Hayward I would hope the Jazz go after Lance. Especially now that we have cap space.

I know everyone wants to compare Hayward to George, but a more realistic comparison should be Hayward and Stephenson. Hayward should be paid whatever Stephenson is paid.

According to a tweet from Chris Mannix for SI, "Rival execs predicting Lance Stephenson will be worth between $7 and $9 million per season in a multi year deal this summer" https://bleacherreport.com/articles...ing-himself-out-of-indiana-pacers-price-range

And Hayward wants $12M+/year?...what a joke.
 
I think he's a guy where the system he plays in really benefits him. I heard that he probably wouldn't be in the league if Larry Bird hadn't come to run the team.

Show me where Hayward or his agent said that.

Some writer speculated that and people on jazzfanz have since took it as fact.

Of course Hayward or his agent would not have stated that in writing or publicly. Using that logic, I could ask you to show me where Hayward or his agent said that they DIDN'T want $12M or more per year?

Based on the 10/31/13 Deseret News article by Jody Genessy:
"Hayward’s side was reportedly hoping to secure more than Favors’ salary but somewhere less than the $80 million maximum deal fellow 2010 draftee Paul George received this offseason."

Ya, that's the article I'm talking bout.

Laughable.

There's enough clues in that article to make a good guess on what the Jazz offered and what Hayward wanted. Anyway you slice it, Hayward wants more than what people are predicting Stephenson's price tag will be...now that is laughable.
 
As of right now, is there anyone who really thinks that Hayward is going to get more money than Stephenson this offseason? I'm not sure that he does. Stephenson has played at a higher level than Hayward has and the fact that Hayward is a RFA will likely drive his value down like it did last offseason. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that LS makes more than Hayward does in free agency.

Stephenson's price might even go higher after the playoffs.
 
I think it is shameful that he cheated at that bike race thing.

I think you severely underestimate the stupidity of other NBA Franchises/GM's...somebody will offer Hayward $12M+/year, it's inevitable, just hope it's not the Jazz making that offer. I don't think Stephenson will command $12M/year, that's just my guess.

Yep. He's not a max guy, but I think he's about to get seriously paid. I have concerns about his attitude, but it seems that he's matured while in Indiana. I have a hard time thinking that he'd go to the Jazz unless they WAY overpay for him. Much more likely to get a defensive-minded wing like Luol Deng to pair with Burks and Hayward for a shorter-term lower (but still pretty pricey) contract.

Still think that this team will keep Gordon Hayward and hope the next coach can get more production out of him.
