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).

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Fans are fed up with this organization's endless string of failures. And, while Morgan's less than a year into his current position, everything he's done is barreling down the same path shat out by his predecessor. If we're just pointing out this alarming lack of discrepancy between the performances of two GMs, it's really not hating. He's just proving to not be a good hire. And, hey, it's alright, because whoever Tepper hires next will, at best, only suck a little bit less. I don't mind people who are optimistic and hope Morgan turns out to be better than he's been thus far. That'd be great. None of us are rooting for him to fail. However, the embarrassing pattern of decisions persists. And it's not a good look.

      Diontae Johnson had “sigh of relief” when he was traded to Ravens

      By strato · Posted

      You have to view everything that was done in 2024 through the ‘eliminate excuses for Bryce Young’ lens IMO. It only makes sense that way.     If you allow for that, you will see that Diontae fulfilled his purpose.

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
