Which team wouldn’t want a player to blow in opposing player’s ears, take questionable shots, and basically never know which player they’ll get each night?
Well that’s what’s probably dooming the Hornets and Lance Stephenson as reports state no team wants to trade for him.
Charlotte will reportedly keep Lance for the season “for now” and his huge deal he signed over the summer – three years at $27 million.
Granted, Lance is dealing with a groin injury but overall, Stephenson hasn’t lived up to the contract and is merely averaging 10.2 points on 38 percent shooting. Last season in Indiana, he averaged career-highs of 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists.
Teams may be weary of his antics on the court and if it will disrupt team chemistry. However, there were a reported seven teams interested in him. In the end, he might be blowing away expectations from Charlotte fans and the team if he doesn’t step it up.
