I know this is the football forum but I think this news and signing has a bigger picture impact than some people may think...The Queen City is an amazing destination but not exactly a large market, with Cam emerging as an icon in a positive light and now a big name NBA player coming to CLT I think this will have a big impact on future FA signings in both sports when we get out of cap hell, and help to make CLT a more desirable location for big name athletes! People want to come play and be surrounded by other big name athletes! Granted this is only the beginning, we haven't even scratched the surface but I feel this is a huge step in the right direction for CLT area sports as a whole! Success breeds success! I for one am excited about the future of both our franchises!!!

Isn't there a lot of concerns regarding Stephenson that limited the interest he drew from other teams? 

 

Plus, while it's definitely a nice signing by the Hornets, Stephenson is a career 9 and 4 guy.  This past season was the first season he's ever averaged double digit points.  I think you're overstating the importance of this signing in terms of it altering the landscape in Charlotte.  They didn't exactly sign Lebron.  He's not a superstar, he's a nice complimentary player who I'm sure the Hornets are hoping can become more than that.

I'm not lumping him into the superstar category but there's no denying he's a big name signing, he wants to be an all star and has the ability to, it's only the beginning like I said it's a step in the right direction, I feel it will only benefit the area as a whole

Like it or not we are in the age of social media and marketing...we need to land players and names in both sports that we can market to compete with big markets city's...this isn't the 60s and 70s you need big names to attract other big names to the city as a whole....look at Cleveland, if you honestly think that Johnny football and the browns as a whole taking the right steps didn't make Cleveland a more attractive location for Lebron than you don't understand today's culture and mentality surrounding sports and marketing

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
