What do you guys think about Lance Stephenson?

[yamers]

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 think he'll continue to be a Pacer.

No.

on the app. square bizness.

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.

The "Hayward wants 12 mil/year" myth is really annoying.

Hayward wanted to be paid more than Favors. Favors makes $12M/year. Connect the dots.

Is it really a myth? Of course he wants 12 million or more per year. Will he get it is another thing entirely.

Lance @ 9mil > Hayward @ 12mil.

Show me where Hayward or his agent said that.

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

 

[yamers]

wasn't the report that Hayward wanted MORE than favors?

 

[Doublea]

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.

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."
