What did they need Larry Hughes for when he's just a poor man's LeBron?
That team needs a shooter. With LeBron dominating the ball and the post game needing to be established with Z, I just don't think Hughes is that good of a fit.
I don't understand why Washington wouldn't sign him since they're capped out regardless, but they would have had that core in place and been middle of the pack for the next 5 years.
