Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Hornets and the Cavaliers.
David Wesley
David Wesley began his professional career in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) after going undrafted in 1992. However, his talent and grit soon caught the eyes of the NBA scouts. He made his debut with the New Jersey Nets, and it didn’t take long for him to prove that he belonged in the NBA.
The bulk of Wesley’s career was spent with the Charlotte Hornets (later New Orleans), where he played from 1997 to 2005. In Charlotte, Wesley established himself as a reliable guard, capable of both scoring and playmaking. His backcourt partnership with Baron Davis is well remembered by Hornets’ fans.
After his stint with the Hornets, Wesley also played for the Houston Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Over his NBA career, he was known for his consistency, tenacity, and leadership both on and off the court.

Mo Williams
Mo Williams is probably best known for his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Williams, a 6’1″ point guard, had a 13-year career that spanned from 2003 to 2017.
Williams had a breakout season with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2006-2007, averaging over 17 points per game. He was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2008, where he played alongside LeBron James and was named an All-Star in 2009. His high-scoring and playmaking ability made him a key part of the Cavaliers’ success during his tenure.
After bouncing around the league in the later stages of his career, Williams briefly rejoined the Cavaliers in 2015 and was part of the team’s championship roster in 2016, providing veteran leadership and depth off the bench.
