Herb Simon 'OK' With Pacers Pursuing Deal For Lance Stephenson

Dec 16, 2014 12:08 PM

Herb Simon said he would personally be fine with the Indiana Pacers pursuing a trade to bring back Lance Stephenson, but left any decisions up to the team's front office.

"I'd be OK with it but it's not up to me. Larry (Bird) has to decide if he fits," Simon said.

Several deciding factors would determine the Pacers' interest in Stephenson, said Simon, and a huge consideration would be chemistry.

"First of all, we don't know if they're really trading him, at least I don't know," Simon said about the Hornets. "I know they made some calls and we would have to (figure out) how he fits back into the team. Those are all basketball decisions and Larry and Kevin (Pritchard) are the best to answer that.

Paul George was mortified by a ESPN report that stated he didn't want to play with Kobe Bryant on his hometown Los Angeles Lakers.

George had a $100 million max extension to remain with the contending Indiana Pacers and never considered the possibility of leaving that situation in 2013.

George won't forget how Bryant texted him on his way to leg surgery during the summer.
