According to reports by Adrian Wojnarowski, the Los Angeles Clippers held preliminary discussions about a deal involving the acquisition of Lance Stephenson from the Hornets in exchange for Spencer Hawes and Matt Barnes.
Lance Stephenson has two years left on his contract. Wojnarowski explains, “the 2016-17 season is a team option of $9.4 million. So, the Clippers would only be committed to paying him the $9 million owed this season – and could then let him go if things don’t work out.”
A league source told ESPN.com.
“the deal is “on the table.”
“It’s close but not definite.”
The Hornets are supposedly expecting an answer within the next two days. ESPN also unveils that this is not the first time a deal of such has been talked about.
This season he averaged 8.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists while starting just 25 of the 61 games he played, but the Clippers are hoping to bring out the old Pacers Stephenson back. He averaged 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists two seasons ago.
It is possible the Clippers could be trading one on-court temper for another and we all know if anyone can handle these personalities, Doc Rivers can.
