Skolnick: Clippers’ Gamble Represents ‘Last Chance’ for Lance Stephenson

June 16th, 2015 by Team Stream Now Leave a reply »

In a surprising move, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Charlotte Hornets agreed to a trade to send enigmatic guard Lance Stephenson to L.A. for Matt Barnes and Spencer Hawes, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports. 

The Clippers are without a pick in this year's NBA draft and have been in need of a roster upgrade at the swing-guard position. Stephenson is an improvement for the Clippers, who played with a thin lineup for most of the season and in the playoffs.

Was this a necessary move for the Clips? Can Stephenson regain his Indiana Pacers form in Los Angeles and take some ball-handling pressure off CP3? Will Clippers head coach Doc Rivers be able to control Stephenson's temper? 

Find out as Bleacher Report's Ethan Skolnick examines this unexpected trade and how it shakes out for both teams in the video above.
