After bouncing around the G-League last year, Marcus Paige has returned to the state that he called home throughout his college years.

Paige has agreed to a two-way deal with the Charlotte Hornets that will allow him to play for both the G-League team, the Greensboro Swarm, as well as be called up to the official NBA roster for as much as 45 days.

Why is this funny?  Let the man live.  It's a win/win.  It's not like they're spending a ton of money on him.  

the only good thing about this is that it is a cheap deal.. if I am wrong I will eat my hat - but Paige will contribute nothing to the team this year.. like zero, nuthin, nada, bupkiss.. just because "we don't know how good he'll be.." doen't mean he is a better prospect than guys that "we know what they will provide".. sometimes the known stagnant/commodity is better than the mystical unknown..

Here are 8 PGs I know would at least be able to provide either some vet leadership and/or some solid minutes if we are in a bind with Kemba/MCW hurt for a stretch of time..

I would rather have Trey Burke.  The rest are pretty washed man.  And meh, Paige isn't going to get any PT regardless.  Unless injuries happen to Kemba or MKW.  And, he's not getting paid poo.  So, I wouldn't worry about it.

They had somewhere in the 2-3 mil range after they let Weber go.. they could have freed up 1.5 mil more by letting O'Bryant go.. but they didn't..

$4 - $4.5 mil would have been nice.. but we still have enough for a vet min contract for sure..

anyways - guys like Mo Speights and Afflalo were signed for vet min deals just a week or so ago.. seems like we Aren't interested in stacking talent for THIS year.. we must be comfortable enough knowing we will make the playoffs with this squad and that is enough..

I don't follow the NBA as close as most people here, but wtf happened to Ty Lawson? Wasn't he like a mid-tier PG for Denver?

To be fair, our roster is two deep at every position right now.  Those guys probably want PT, and they wouldn't get it here barring injuries (which will for sure happen).

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
