介绍:
*One of our favorite shooting guards Lance Stephenson formally of the Indiana Pacers has signed a three-year 27 million dollar deal with the Charlotte Hornets. That means he'll be playing for Hornets owner Michael Jordan, and will be bringing his talents to a franchise that failed to win a post-season game these past 10 seasons.
He wrote on twitter "Indy I had a great 4 years. Thank you Larry Bird, the fans, my coaches, and teammates for the incredible experience."
The 6-foot-5 shooting guard had one of his best seasons last year, averaging 13.8 points, 7.2 boards and 4.6 assists per game. He also led the league with five triple-doubles.
(Controversial because he's emotional and a loud-mouth—17 technical fouls last season, #3 in NBA, blowing in Lebron James ear, listening in on huddles)
*Free agent Anthony Tolliver has agreed to a two-year 6 million dollar contract with the Phoenix Suns. Tolliver is a 6-foot-8 forward who averaged 6.1 points and 2.6 boards in his 64 games with Charlotte last season.
*This week, the USA announced its 19 man squad for the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup. Some are arguing that it's a kind of B-squad, because there's no Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony or Chris Paul… all of whom were members of the gold medal team from London 2012.
