Larry Hughes to Atlanta!!!

They have both been in the league since 2001. You guys act like there is this huge age difference, when in reality Hughes is only 2 years older. Hughes is a terrific defender and a far better scorer. Until this year Johnson was a major disappointment, but still talented. Its easy to see what having 4 other more dangerous offensive threats can do for getting you wide open looks though, which is why he is having so much success this year and why we should definitely take that success with a major grain of salt.

Judging by the types of players that BK likes, he would take Hughes over Johnson any day of the week. He is longer, more athletic, and a far more natural guard than Johnson.

Steals arent the end all of being a good defender, but when you average almost 3 steals per game that is not a fluke and lets you know a lot about the level of defense that Hughes plays.

washington has no choice, dakin

if hughes wants to take our money, washington can't do a thing about it...he's an UFA

now they can match or go higher than our offer to try to keep him...

BUt they should have the resources once they let kwame walk.

[Nicholasp27]

yeah

no way washington lets hughes walk without offering him decent money...but bk maybe can convince hughes to come here to play next to smoove/chill and bogut and jack...
