Comments on: Larry Hughes Greatest Value Is In His Own Mind http://www.lebasketbawl.com/larry-hughes-greatest-value-is-in-his-own-mind/ Sun, 14 Mar 2010 07:36:48 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Wrong http://www.lebasketbawl.com/larry-hughes-greatest-value-is-in-his-own-mind/comment-page-1/#comment-951 Wrong Tue, 13 Jan 2009 07:35:13 +0000 http://www.lebasketbawl.com/?p=910#comment-951 A phoney? Get over yourself, Hughes in his limited minutes has a valid point, Rose should have never played over 40 minutes a game all these first 40 games, now he is spent. In the name of sacrifice, Hughes was promised the 2nd guard positition, but on March 3rd of that year, took the point guard position and yes, lead the Cavs to the playoffs in that position. You fail to mention that he played 70 games that year, started 68 and averaged a career high in points, rebounds and assist in 37.1 minutes per game. Oh yah, your phoney ranked 26 in the NBA in steals also. This year his FG% and 3 pt average is one of the highest on the Bulls and one of the best defensive players (not hard to do with Rose and Gordon). 36 3 pointers in half the minutes of Rose, with only 14 this year? Your Rookie is burnt out and can't drive the lane anymore and hit. The league knows that he can't make an outside shot, his average ppg will be down to 10 by the end of the season. Is Hughes valuable, well Lebron thought so, he told the Cavs to get him at the cost of out bidding Washington with 60 million, that is good to mid 2011. Fragile? Maybe, but what is the average length of an NBA career? 4.5 years, Mr. Hughes is on year 11, so he has had injuries like many, but sustained twice the average and only 10% of all NBA players make it 10 years. Your facts are pretty poor, your spotting a phoney and patting yourself on the back even worse. The Bulls should have never traded for a guard with a high value two year contract, when you could have kept Wallace and been done this year. Then you draft a guard when you have no centers. Noah, there is a bust. Deng to 2014, that wiil be a bust. Look for a lot more years before you see a championship in Chicago. Hold on to that Cubs T-Shirt from over a century ago, the Bears T-Shirt from the eighties and Bulls from 11 years ago. You haven't spotted much else, you got a good rookie with Rose, but you burnt him out, when Hughes easily could have took the load off until Heinrich got back today. Now he is wasted, cause he has never seen 40 games in his life yet and has another 40 to go. Gun shy of driving the lane already and can't hit from the collge 3pt line. No, Hughes gave you exactly what he gave any team over the last 11 years, but with half the minutes, management screwed up in overloading themselves with guards, not Hughes. What stats is he low in? None, except minutes, his only complaint, and a viable one but every statistical measure. Plus, cheap shot on hurting a foot, when the dude went out and played everygame as many minutes as possible risking his career. Your call is off, no intellect and cheap, most of all, its just jealosy, because you know Hughes makes more in a night than you do in a lifetime. Thats $$$ VALUE. A phoney?

Yeah he's fragile, but his ridiculously low fg% and inefficient offense are as big a factor, if not bigger. Also he has been more effective this year, miraculously, http://notqualifiedtocomment.blogspot.com/2008/11/harry-lughes-hits-game-winner-larry.html but he's just old and expensive and not a viable part of the Bulls future. Keep up the good work Sackmaster, love your site. I agree in general with this post, but the one thing you got wrong is why Hughes isn’t valuable.
