    Indy won't let Stephenson go.

    Some people felt that we need to improve on defense but that trading our PG was not the way to improve that area.

    Anything short of a title I have a hard time seeing this deep go deep in to tax territory. Also Lance is an unrestricted free agent so basically Indy has to put up or shut up if they want to keep him.

    You really care what Bill Simmons or Jalen Rose thinks that much?

    One of them is going to suffer... it's difficult to have two well rounded contributors on the 1st unit. (unless 1 is a C)

    It sure is difficult, but I think Stephenson has proven that he WILL take shots. Batum half the time looks disinterested and doesn't even look at the rim. Stephenson will get into you and try to kill you on O and D.

    If someone took a stat hit, it would be Batum for loafing around.
