JMV asked a great question during today's show.
What is the self-life of Lance Stephenson in Indiana?
You can't deny he brings a passion and an energy to the game that (especially) this Pacers squad was missing. In two games I've seen the intensity and energy of a seemingly lifeless team be raised to levels it's not been at this season. Is all that attributable to Lance? No probably not, but he's no small factor in it. He's not an All-Star, he's not an all-world kind of a player, he's got his limitations (Good Lance vs Bad Lance) and he will rub people (both opponents and teammates) the wrong way.
So that's the question, how long can Lance last with the Pacers this time around before there's another implosion like the one we saw in 2013-'14, which by all accounts was aided by a rift between Lance and Evan Turner (along with whatever the hell happened between PG & Roy that has been wildly speculated about).
