Not a shooter, but another super random washed former star that played a few games for us.... Tom chambers.

The all. I can't believe they were hornets team, washed up vets... if we only had them in their prime.

Tony Parker, BJ Armstrong, Michael Adams
Dale Ellis, Ricky Pierce
Steve Smith, Chuck Person, Eddie Johnson
Tom Chambers, Derrick Coleman
Dwight Howard, Robert Parish, Theo Ratliff

I don't recall specifics either but I kinda remember something between him and a coach. Maybe it was him refusing to play.

I definitely forgot about Tom Chambers. I also loved Frank Brickowski. When we signed him and Eddie Johnson I was over the moon cause I loved both of those guys. From listening to Eddie Johnson talk today, while he loved the guys, that team was a mess and he didn't really "love" Alan Bristow.

Gonna sit out the rooks Kai and James for two of my favorite "Bob"-cats, the stylish point forward Josh McRoberts and the clutch assassin Chris Douglas-Roberts.

if we had the Tyson Chandler that he was for like the first 5 years before and 5 years after us that would be my next choice.
Okafor would be my 3rd choice
PJ Brown 4th
would rather roll no center than Dwight

would not trade Melo or Davis or Walker
Rice for Rozier
I think on this team I might take prime Crash over current Bridges for now though its very very close and probably will flip very shortly. Jackson was good too but nah

thats about it
Prime Tyson Chandler would be pretty awesome on this team.


Richards for Chandler at the moment.

We didn’t have prime chandler though, we had pussyfoot who refused to play
He was a bobcat and a hornet. It's always been weird how that whole situation played out. Who owns that history? Or is it oddly divided?

I was trying to go as obscure and old-school as possible. Also considered Stuart Gray and Michael Holton

Gerald Wallace and Emeka Okafor are part of Charlotte Hornets history now.

Both would fit well in place of pj and plum
