A better situation? The pacers were the top seed in the east last year. They actually improved the bench a little this offseason, and they maybe could have given the redesigned Cavaliers a run for the ECF if Stephenson came back. I just don't see the logic.

Stephenson must not have liked the Pacers, that's pretty much what it has to be at this point. No other explanation makes any sense. Nobody really knows what caused the Pacer's collapse after the All-Star break, but I've always theorized it was some locker room turmoil, and just the inexperience of the team. Both of those things may not be as big a problem at Charlotte. Al Jefferson is a 10 year-veteran, and the core of the Hornets team as a whole is still really young. It's great for the Hornets defense. They've suddenly become a considerably better team with him there. He's a great ball handler, and an outstanding rebounder. It's a truly crippling blow for the Pacers though. No one in the league can provide what he did for them, he led the league in tripple-doubles last year.
