Title: Hughes to Cleveland
Post by: hisairness on July 08, 2005, 04:08:28 PM
Larry Hughes is going to sign with the Cavs.  That should lock them up for the playoffs.  Surely they can't blow it now!!

Hell yeah. Im happy for James. Yet I wonder how this is going to fit, cause they play similiar positions. I hope James doesnt have to play a different position than SG for life just cause he's so damn versatile.

Stupid signing him. I mean Hughes is a good player and all, but like 7even said, he's too similiar to LeBron! Redd was def a better fit for the Cavs.

Larry Hughes is a point Guard.

But this is a bad signing by the Cavs,they fuckin panic,they so badley want to show Lebronze they're willing to spend money to help him win that they just went out & got a guy that doesn't even fit their system LOL...

they fuckin need 3 point shooters around Lebronze,,,,like i don't know.. RAY ALLEN & MICHAEL REDD!!!..

Instead they got a player who can't shoot for shit

LARRY HUGHES #'s: shot 43% from the field & 28% from 3 point Land LOL..good luck keepin Lebronze in cleaveland Mr.Owner of the Cavaleirs ;D

well Redd and Ray Allen are off the market so they had to get someone...

Ok, but It still doesnt make Larry Hughes a good 3pts shooter, which was the kind of player Cavs need the most. Shit, even Bobby Simmons and Donyell Marshall were better fits for them! Don't get me wrong, i like Hughes and he's a good SG who played PG last year (but still he's a SG to me), but they wasted a big contract, imo.

What are you saying? LeBron's been playing Small Forward for the longest...Hughes is a Point/Shooting Guard...I don't see any reason they couldn't play together, and possibly even build very good chemistry...

When was the last time you saw a Forward average more than 7 assists? His style is def more G than F, nevertheless he played a lot SF but that's because Cleveland's line-up is the way it is. He even started as a PG at the beginning. He's just very versatile. He can play everything from SF to SG to PG, and I still see his primary position to be SG no matter what anybody says.  :)

It doesn't matter, Hughes can play Point Guard or Shooting Guard...LeBron is listed as only a Forward, he's not even a Forward/Guard...Just because he's a versatile player doesn't make him a Point Guard...LOL...Kobe's been playing Point Guard for a large portion of his career, but that doesn't mean shit, he's still a Shooting Guard...And even you said it, LeBron can play SF, SG, and PG...Hughes can play PG and SG...So how the fuck does that not work? Please make sense...

Antonio Daniels wouldn't fit the Lakers right now, but you don't know what you're saying if you think he sucks...

He plays good D, he can't shoot but we have Atkins from the bench for the 3pts. Plus he's like 6-4, a tall PG, perfect for the triangle. He doesnt have to bring the ball a lot (we have Odom and Kobe who can do it), but just defend and make some dribbles. P.S. He ranked #2 in the NBA in assists per turnovers. I think he's the perfect fit for us.

Damn that's a good signing for the Cavs.  Larry Hughes is a decent player, this will add to their growing roster.

I like it. Larry hughes is a good player. but we'll see when the season starts right.

Only problem i see is how much Cleveland is paying for him a season

Im looking forward to it.

@nik: Of course it can work, but I rather want James to be an SG than a SF.. my personal perforation.

Mine too. And it'd be great to see him in NYC. Celtics got Green, Lakers got Kobe, NYC should have LeBron. The NBA needs those 3 teams to be on top of the league.

He's too flimsy...I think Phil's plan to play Caron at PG was the best one I've heard so far...Antonio Daniels is good, I wouldn't mind him on the Lakers, but there are many other players who I'd prefer...PeACe

Yesterday Tex Winter was on TV and he was entusiastic about the Lakers possibly signing AD.
Plus he said he's very very happy the Lakers selected Bynum.

AD is also considering the Miami Heat atm...

LeBron to NY wont happen... too good to be true...

Yeah, but Miami has only a MLE and too many players to re-sign/sign.
I like Lakers chances more.

Yep they need 3pts shooters. They need  this Lituanian point guard (Jakisevicius ) I mean he's a crazy shooter. Plus he agrees to play in NBA if he had a 3 year contract n 10 Millions $. Others teams try to sign too

Jasi is a fantastic player, best assist-man in the NBA if he goes there, i predict it.

Yep he can be in the zone anytime. Lol at L. Brown said he will suffer if he played in NBA. Maybe defense wise but when it comes to the offense... Brown was mad coz he destroyed the US team  ;D

Don't forget Sarunas missed what would have been a game winning three against the U.S. in the 2000 Olympic semifinal too, after he litterally destroyed them for 40 minutes. Lol @ Brown.. ahahaha.
