After losing out on Ray Allen and Michael Redd, the Cleveland Cavaliers have finally landed their shooting guard. NBADraft.net is reporting that Washington Wizards guard Larry Hughes is headed to the Cleveland Cavaliers for a deal that averages $12 million a year. However, while the articles notes that the deal runs through 2012, under new CBA rules players can only receive a five-year deal if they are signing with a new team so the deal can only run through 2010. Last season, Hughes had his best season as a pro averaging 22 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 2.9 steals ####### My thoughts on this Hughes for 12M is ridiculous! I like Hughes but he is nowhere near worth Max money. Ya know, how much better is Hughes really than Ricky Davis, a player they moved previously. Better defender and probably better overall but not at 12M! They should have just stuck with Davis. To me IF (and it is still at rumor stage right now) they sign Hughes for 12M the value isn't 12M for Hughes as much as it is keeping LeBron happy to stay with the franchise which in reality is the ultimate long term goal. If you have to "overpay" a player to get them there to keep Lebron, then you do it for the long term. |
