Matt Barnes and Spencer Hawes for Lance Stephenson

Great trade for the Clips.

I don't know...do Clippers really need more mentally unstable players?

I mean Matt Barnes has always been a headcase too so you're basically getting a younger Barnes while also putting Stephenson in a role he's comfortable with. Instead of being part of a "big 3" like they were pushing in Charlotte he'll essentially be the 4th or 5th option, and can give the Clippers a guy that can handle the ball when Paul is on the bench as well as be a great perimeter defender. Plus his 3rd year is a team option so essentially if he doesn't pan out this next year they can just decline the option and let him walk. I think Doc will be able to get through to him though, I mean he's only 24 so he's still maturing.

Big 3? Who was 1?

This. Wtf?

That's why I put quotes around it. Lol Walker and Jefferson are the other two.

Any trade that allows your team to dump Matt Barnes is a good deal. I like it for the Clipps.

Stevenson shot 17% from 3 last year.... still took 100 3s in 60 games doe lol. Anytime you can add a crappy shooter that tried to shoot through a slump for an entire season, you got to do it.

In addition to Gerald Henderson staying in Charlotte, @EricPincus reports Danny Granger has opted in with Suns to stay in PHX next season

If I make a list of players I DON'T want on my team - Stephenson will be near the top of my list.

He'll talk trash before the game and then not show up for the game. He's very talented - so Doc thinks he can get through to him...Larry Bird will likely wish him good luck.

Same here. He legitimately played very well in Indiana, so maybe he'll bounce back with a better team. But he is a bonehead of the highest order and could meltdown at any time. Wouldn't want a guy like that.

And Doc seems to get the benefit of the doubt even though his track record as GM is pretty terrible.

He was handed a top 5 player at 3 positions and an extremely valuable asset in Bledsoe to trade, and all he had to do was add a couple guys that could defend and provide spacing by hitting 3s. Instead he brought in a bunch of guys that cant do either, or at best are specialist at one end of the court like Reddick.

Honestly, the entire Clips organization is highly overrated, from top to bottom. Owner, Coach/GM, players. Every year they're a favorite for the title, and every year they come nowhere close to meeting expectations.

The white jersey ain't bad. The red one is f**king ridiculous. It's actually uglier than the previous red uni, and that's hard to do. lol

I agree! I don't know what the hell they were thinking. That logo is horrible. It looks like the LAC are all smashed together.

It reminds me of a knockoff type of logo from a nintendo game back in the day. lol
