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).

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
