NFT: Lance Stephenson... worth a look?

Hornets are shopping him. Contract only guaranteed through next season (9 million), team option for a 3rd year at 9.4

We don't have a ton of moveable assets.

numbers look how they normally look except for whatever the reason he's shot really poorly from 3 (8 for 48) vs. last year 35%

Next year then JR. (Who has a player option). If the Knicks think JR will exercise the option then yes you trade him for Lance. No one else.

the 2013 draft class looks pathetic in year 2.

Bennett a joke, Caldwell Pope sucks, Porter awful, Noel has been "okay, Burke sucks, McCollum sucks. One of the worst draft classes ever?

Maybe Noel can save it

He's the only hope

Just hope
