I'm going with Chalmers. Stephenson obviously gets a bigger contract than Chalmers if they're both killing it but the way Chalmers is playing like a headless HerpDerp who is running in the wrong direction you have to think he's losing way more than Lance could.

Chalmers wasn't going to get as much money to begin with. I'm not sure he's cost himself much money at all, actually.

The answer is Lance.

Lance hasn't cost himself anything. He will get a big contract.

Lance is good. Chalmers sucks. And showed how bad. He cost himself more. Someone is gonna pay lance a pretty penny. Just isn't gonna be as any teams wanting to pay that much

Is it? I think it's pretty obvious Chalmers is losing more percentage wise. Stephenson is still a 23 year old who while he may steal teammates rebounds, actually has pretty decent assist numbers and an above average midrange game. Lowe wrote a great breakdown of his game. Obviously he can't go somewhere like the Bucks, but if you're the Lakers you need someone and you have the cap room.

The answer is Chalmers no matter what. If Miami felt like they couldn't afford to lose him, he would be making 14.5 million next year.

Bingo. He may have random antics, but he's a damn good player. He was either first or second team all-defense and had his best year scoring from the field. He won't be a number one or two option on any team, but he's a great perimeter defender who can score 12-15 points a night efficiently. He'll get himself a good contract.

Chalmers is a decent 3-point shot and that's about it.

Lance will still get big time money. He's a solid young player

Chalmers easily. He needs to get out of Miami and maybe take a 1 yr deal somewhere and increase his value.

i don't know that either have cost themselves money. stephenson will be making solid change next season, and chalmers won't. mario is a below average starting guard in the league.

The answer is neither.

Lance will still get his. Chalmers never had real value.

Name one team that would consider him an upgrade over what they have or could draft.

He'll he isn't even the best point guard on his own team.

I think the better question is will Chalmers have a job in the NBA next year.

Was never worth it to begin with. What's his ppg in the finals? Like 2, with 5+ TO a game?

It would cost them like $45 mil to do that next year with the luxury tax, it just would not be possible even if he was Tony Parker good.
