I sold all of my stuff a couple of yrs back.  None of the stuff fit anyway since it was all bought when I was in elementary and middle school.  I probably made more money from that stuff than I originally bought it for.

Let me preface this by saying that I was ten when I got a lot of this stuff... Now, I don't really have any clothes, but I have a a stuffed Hugo (cute, I know), a Hornets blanket, a stuffed hornets basketball, a vintage Hornets tool box (that in particular is worth quite a bit of money lol), and a few Hornets hats...

 

I also own a new pair of Jordan Retro 5 "Grapes", they match all my Hornets stuff lol.

 

I'm going to have to stock up next year.

I've got a hat signed by Anthony Mason. I waited in line at the old foot locker on Albermarle Rd. just before Independence and when my mother and I got to up to the front The guy who worked at foot locker said that they didn't have any hats and since I didn't bring anything for him to sign then we would have to buy a jersey or something. Before my mom could say ok Anthony reached down and pulled a hat out from under the table he was sitting at and signed it for me. I always remembered that and that hat has been sitting in a box in the attic at my parents house since. He got a bad guy reputation (mainly in NY) but that little gesture had me hooked as a Hornets fan. I was probably like 11 or something then.

Got my old Anthony Mason jersey, and the old the old warmup pants boxed up somewhere at my parents crib.  My uncle was a season ticket holder, and would always carry me to the games.  I remember being a skinny, short 8 or 9 year old kid rocking that Mason jersey to every game.  Might go home and try to find that jersey.  Can't fit it now though lol

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
