re: Lance Stephenson signs

Justin Verrier interview with Lance. Depending on your view of him he's either saying all the right things, or some down right scary things.

I guess that leads me to my next question: You joined the team recently. What went into that decision, and how did that all work out for you?

LS: I liked this team, and I see a couple young guys that I could potentially help and show all the other stuff that I learned from other places, from guys like Chris Paul, Paul George, Paul Pierce. Just teach them, and help them believe and show them the right way to work out there and what it takes to make it to the conference finals, and getting that work in every day.

I know Jrue Holiday's situation kind of opened up an opportunity, at least from the team’s perspective, to get another ball handler in there. Was it a situation where they reached out after that, or were you guys talking before then?

LS: We were actually talking before then. I was just weighing my options. I figured this was the best team to go to, and I can help this program win -- help the young guys in here and also help me at the same time.

So are we going to see Lance Stephenson the mentoring vet? It sounds like playing with CP3/Paul Pierce made a big impact on him, and he's pretty much got one foot out of the league at this point, so this would be a good turning point for him if he's going to turn his career around.

I don't understand how he makes the team.

while I am usually Pollyanna, I am never blind to injuries.

Tyreke is out.

someone could be injured before a regular season game.
the sport is hard on the legs and feet.
tall guys get broken legs and feet.
