How often do you hear about high profile NBA stars signing with small market clubs? Not often! :)

I'll admit, I was literally shocked when I discovered that Kevin Garnet decided to stay put in Oklahoma City!

It's rare when a guy trades in the Big Apple or Hollywood or South Beach for Oklahoma City, Utah, or Charlotte, NC! It's just the truth! Especially now tat the NBA has a cap, players look at a lot of other factors such as the size of the market and what it is worth to them as far as endorsements, etc.

I know a lot of players have certain regulations in sneaker contracts or whatever that dictate how much they can earn based upon the market they play in. I remember, Nike was offering Lebron a $50 million bonus if he went to a large market like New York or LA. Not sure if Miami was on that list, but it had to better than Cleveland or well, Sacramento for that matter!

Just saying, I'll be shocked if Chris Paul ends up in Charlotte, as the Knicks are out there begging for his services!!!

I know he's from North Carolina. Heck, I can't remember the last time a star, in the prime of his career, wanted to return to his hometown? Even Peppers wanted a change of scenery.

The only logical reason I can see guys coming to Charlotte is honoring Jordan, but I really don't think athletes these days are respectable on that sort of level!

      His play style isn’t what’s needed and he’s slow to get off the time. Watching some of these all 22 clips and there’s once again a massive lack of speed on the field. 3rd year in a row I’ve said from day 1 Bryce needs route runners. He’s had one pure route runner and he turned Thielen into a 1000 yard receiver. At age 35. The Panthers drafted Young to be a “point guard” and proceeded to give him the exact opposite of what he’s needed. It would sure be nice to have a deep threat as well. Something Bryce had at Bama

      I'm the same and I just gave up on it years ago.  I expect the new sale to make it a worse fall into making bigger revenue streams and that's not going to be offline franchise.

      Renfrow for being a role player has been 100% fine.  Heck he should have at least 4 TDs.  Bryce Young just can’t throw the ball.  When he does look Renfrows way and he is open it’s almost always just a bad throw.  Renfrow also has been out there setting great picks like the big play to TMac, getting Bryce Young horrible turnovers wiped on away from the play routes etc.  You could literally already make a highlight real of bad throws to him by Bryce and none of that is pimping Renfrow.   It just highlights Bryce fails at basics over and over every week without fail
