why would we want Lance. I just don't get it.
I guess you already forgot that he was a key reason why Indiana got to the ECF last season. It was George and Stephenson that had to do alot of the heavy lifting.
That was also last year... in what was one of the worst Eastern Conferences since Jason Kidd's Nets plowed trough the East with seemingly no competition. This year there is Toronto, Chicago, Washington, Cleveland, and even Miami who can compete. Last year's Pacer team was a mirage.
Stephenson is not a player I would touch with a ten foot pole. And the hypotheticals being thrown out there are more fantasy league trades than real ones.
Why would the Knicks want to do that trade? They are tanking and are doing just fine with their roster as is. The Knicks are essentially acquiring three guys they won't go after in the offseason for a guy they can extend a qualifying offer to?
Also, what's the benefit of getting Vonleh? So we can wait another two years for him to get to Sully's level? Yes, I know they are different players. But Vonleh has a long way to go before even becoming a reliable NBA player. I think if we wanted him badly we would have drafted him last year.
We give up way too much and don't receive anything of any substantial "worth" in return. Pass.
