Knicks acquire Larry Hughes

[andrewcstein]

I wish we could have got rid of Jared Jeffries instead of Thomas, I just heard about this deal, I'll look at it later, I assume it clears some more space for the LeBron bidding somehow. But Larry Hughes??? Maybe we can let Marbury come back and play as well and have absolutely no team chemistry at all.

This clears no space. That's the puzzling thing. It does free up some minutes for Wilcox.

so back comes Tim Thomas and Brad Miller ........is the season over for the Bulls already?

[Italy61587]

both teams are just moving bad contracts.....the bulls get a huge monkey off their back by dumping Hughes 13 mil contract......ya, bulls get these other scrubs that they'll eventually have to dump to but at least they accomplished getting rid of hughes

[gladdyontherise]

this is a rather wierd trade

[BravesFan4Life]

I can see where it makes sense contract wise. Hughes 13 mil contract is harder to move later then a bunch of smaller contracts. Sounds like Jerome James will be bought out, Roberson will play out the season and not be resigned and Tim Thomas will be a bench player. Eh to get rid of Hughes I am all for it.

Have fun New York! You'll be regretting this trade when you see Hughes go 2/13 every night.

I don't think anyone expects this trade to put them over the top. They traded two guys who don't play, and someone who stinks, for a guy who actually plays defense, but can't shoot. So he's the third guy on the team who can play D, and the 8th or so on the team who can't shoot.
