Say it aint so!!



According to ESPN.com Larry Hughes will be signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hughes, who led the league in steals per game for the Wizards last season, is expected to sign a 5 year deal between 60 and 70 million dollars according to his agent. I hope to God that his agent is just blowing smoke up ESPN's ass (nh) to drive up bidding on his player. The last thing the Wizards need this offseason is to loose Hughes. The one thing GM Ernie Grunfeld said that needed to get done this season was to re-sign Hughes. If this story is true then the offseason will be a loss.

Not only was hughes second in scoring, behind Gil Arenas, but he also was a leader on the floor. Although Arenas is showing a growing level of maturity, he still tends to be erratic at times. Countless times last season Hughes would come in the game and stabalize it. He's also a good locker room leader.

This could spell disaster for next season. Last season this squad, led by Hughes, Arenas and Jamison made it to the second round of the playoffs. Given time that core group of players could have been something great. This is very depressing.

Uhh go Nats!!!

larry hughes (from the STL) was the best high school player I ever saw in person during a regular high school game. dude was doing 360 dunks like no one's business.

it should also be noted that he was living in a nice ass apt and driving a LandRover that the private high school he went to bought for him.

also, he never carried more than a spiral notebook to everyclass for 4 years.

Umm if Hughes wants to leave town for a couple extra mill then go ahead, i aint mad at him.

But that one spiral notebook thing is funny.
Just like Lebron James had a 4.0 gpa, give me a fuckin break
