Hughes says his ideal landing spot in free agency would be to return to the Charlotte Bobcats, where he felt a real connection with the team and the coaches. Hughes understand the free agent game has a pecking order and that he must wait for his turn. He also says his agent has heard from a number of teams, but at this point in his career he's looking for a winning culture and a veteran team ready to compete.

Hughes is finally healthy after a series of injuries that have limited his ability to train and prepare in the off-season. Now that he's a part of one of the largest free agent classes in the modern era, Hughes understands that to make a team he need to work harder than ever before. After watching a recent workout at Impact Basketball in Las Vegas, Hughes clearly looks like a player that ready to redeem himself.

we could do a lot worse than hughes as a backup pg. i do think he can be useful for our team. i just didnt want him playing playoff minutes in crunch time as our shooting guard and scoring option. big difference.

I forgot all about that guy.

I wouldn't mind him coming back, as a mentor type who only plays if there are massive injuries.

But knowing Larry Brown, Hughes will be the first one off the bench.

Would like to have him back but after seeing what Hendo has done in the summer league, I think it's best for the team not to sign him and give Hendo some more pt.

Only if we're desperate, like last season. But I'd rather have him on the court than Carroll.

Seriously?

I'd MUCH rather Hammer out there than Hughes or Flip or Hulk.

Bring him back. Hell, let him start at PG this year. Hughes is the man.

Can't believe so many people hate on him. :(

It may be just me, but I prefer Hulk. Hammer just in clutch time (if he is stilling hitting threes like he did). Hulk pretty much played the right way. Nothing spectacular, just low profiled and effective, the right way.

Pick Charlotte Larry. Please. I'm begging you. Don't make me sad. :(

If he goes elsewhere, it's Josh Howard or McGrady time. I bet either one takes a crap one year contract right now.

why do you have so much love for old, washed up bums, who are chuckers and just left rehab after a career threatining injury?
