The Charlotte Hornets acquired Robert Reid and a second-round draft pick in 1990 from the Houston Rockets in exchange for Bernard Thompson, whom the Hornets selected in the National Basketball Assn. expansion draft.

Reid, 32, was drafted 40th by the Rockets out of St. Mary’s-San Antonio in 1977. He helped the Rockets to eight playoff appearances in 10 seasons, scoring a career average of 11.6 points per game. Reid sat out the 1982-83 season, citing religious reasons.
