Paul George believes the Pacers will be a stronger title contender with Lance Stephenson — and all of his idiosyncrasies.

So on Saturday, George followed the company line and urged his friend and teammate to re-sign with Indiana.

“It’s all on Lance’s plate,” George said as he took a break from the basketball pro camp he headlined in suburban Indianapolis. “I didn’t have to deal with this because I was a restricted free agent. It’s really up to Lance, but I will say I do want him to come back.”
