I wouldn't mind getting MKG.

Only thing is he can't shoot and we don't need a 3 that can't shoot.

Lance Stevenson had a nice fit playing next to D West, PG, and Hibbert. Wasn't worth the money he got.

He's definitely worth the money. He's just in the wrong situation in Charlotte.

And MKG has improved his shot. He hasn't taken a 3 this year though but he's still found a way to shoot 55% from the field.

I don't think he's a great fit or anything. Just noting that he's improved his jumper.

If we were going to take Lance I'd prefer to have a bigger veteran presence on the team to keep him in line.

Big reason he wasn't worth the money.

His deal was pretty cheap even before the tv deal was announced. Very solid two way player who was Indiana's best player for stretches last year.

Just hasn't found his way in Charlotte. He's been pretty mature there, though.

Zach added this on Twitter later that day:

This. Besides him being a SF, I don't get what everyone's fascination is with MKG. He isn't too much different than Cunningham, who is playing better every game. If we're going to acquire another 3, it's going to have to be for a skillset that we're lacking at that position (3 & D-type).

Just my opinion, but I think Stephenson is one of the most overrated players in the league. This season he's averaging 10.4 PPG, shooting 16.7% from 3, and 65% from the line. Pass.

I disagree. AFA wasn't a basketball player. He was a guy who could use his athleticism to make a couple plays. MKG is a basketball player who just happens to have a glaring hole in his game - he can't shoot.

I honestly don't know if I want any of their players outside of the two they aren't trading (Jefferson and Kemba)
