Great signing at that price. Adds a little scoring, adds a lot of defense and playmaking.

What a fun backcourt that'll be to watch, successes and mistakes and all

There were people here in Charlotte that were saying we should have offered a max deal to Stephenson instead of Hayward. Unbelievable deal. I can't wait for the season to start.

Hopefully Lances toughness will rub off on PJ. Imagine if PJ could turn into the defender/rebounder that Lance is.

It'll be good if the "rub-off" happens. But who is going to teach these guys to mature to the point where they don't cause on- or-off-the-court problems?
