Guess the Knicks figured LeBron would want to be reunited with Thomas, who asked out of Cleveland.

Nice. Hughes is actually a good player, if motivated.
And now they can activate Ewing Jr…

And…WOW. We got rid of Big Snack!!!

It’s a decent trade, but certainly not a blockbuster. Cap wise its even. But the Knicks got 2 players who may actually give them some minutes. Nate can play PG with Hughes at SG to give Duhon some rest. Wilcox can give Lee a few minutes to rest on the bench as well.

Should have traded that cancer Kirk too.

This trade is completely pointless. Thomas and James are more useless than Hughes. If anything the Knicks at least got a player who cares if he ever plays again in Hughes.

I’m so glad Larry Hughes is gone from the Bulls. He can try and be “the star” on a bad team now, which he prefers to be. I think he will be a cancer to the Knicks. I’m curious to see if Chicago uses Tim Thomas at all. Fortunately Jerome James will be recovering from an achilles tendon injury the rest of the season, possibly longer. Thomas might be able to be part of the rotation, Del Negro said “I played with Tim for a couple years and had him in Phoenix. I didn’t have any problem with him. I enjoyed playing with him”. Since both James and Thomas contracts expire at the end of next season, they would be valuable trading assets for teams looking to shed salary for economic purposes and/or the 2010 free agent class. The Bulls could also let the contracts expire and sign a major player from that free agent class in 2010.

Maybe Jared Jefferies and Larry Hughes can reminisce about the times they played for the Wizards.

“Hey, remember when I put up 22 points a game on 43 percent shooting and had almost 3 steals a game? Apparently, they pay you bzillions of dollars for that!”

“No, I really don’t remember that. BUT, do you remember when I scored 6.4 points a game with 5 boards?! They’ll pay you ANYTHING in New York!”

But really, hopefully Hughes will be motivated/talented again. If so, this is good for the Knicks (btw, notice how many times you have to say that now? JO, Matrix, Hughes…IF they’re good and motivated again, they’ll be a good addition…)
