pretty good signing i guess, 1yr vet minimum, he can shoot the 3 pretty well also, i think a roster spot or two is still open so Charlotte can still sign Seth Curry

Tolliver will fill the Corner 3 forward threat, team had previously wanted Antawn Jamison to fill.

Tolliver can pivot to the 3 for spot minutes if needed. He has length and can hit the 3.

^LMAO. Loved the wolf howling in the background.

Here's news on his nickname(s):
Full name is Anthony Lamar Tolliver...nickname is “A-Train” and was given to him by a college teammate…also answers to the names “A.T.”, “Train”, “AT&T Long Distance” and “A-Tizzle”


Excited for the A-Train era in Queen City already. Welcome A-Train!

Tolliver wanted to wrap up a deal before he left for vacation Sunday to the Dominican Republic. Tolliver, who will sign a one-year, $1,027 million, went for the sure thing. Tolliver will sign with the Bobcats in about a week, after he returns from vacation. 

So basically we won out since we already had an offer on the table. I don't know, I feel like I'd be willing to make another call or two while on vacation if it means maybe getting more money or my preferred destination for the next year. But what do I know?

Knicks, Magic, Spurs, Bulls, Jazz, Clips, and Lakers were also apparently interested.

I like him more than I liked Mullens.

At least Tolly is willing to get a little dirty.
