I know for a fact I could go out there and play in the NBA right now and make more than 5 percent of my shots. That's inexcusable.

Even though both systems are about the same a change of scenery could make a difference. The Suns have a winning culture (Playoff wise I mean) which can't be said about the Knicks so who knows and why not take a chance?

+1. The Voice of Reason - Hughes has shown quite inarguably that a D'antoni or Suns style game is about the worst fit there is for him.

From twitter, this made me laugh

HPbasketball RT @ShamSports: Larry Hughes tonight has managed to drop his FG% from 5% to 4%. Have to respect that.
