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).

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
