Larry Hughes

I read this article this morning. At least from the quotes, Hughes saying LeBron most likely won't come to NY is not what I got out of it.

Quotes such as"I'd definitely think he'd consider it [coming to NY] especially if he doesn't re-sign," Hughes said. "I think all his options will be open. At the same time, I think he's going to go to a place where he feels he could win the most and also get the exposure of being in that market.'"

There isn't a big market in Cleveland, and how many cities in the country can still have a mostly packed house at 1:30am for a 6 overtime quarter final college basketball game?

Hughes definitely did say that LeBron was "set up" with everything in Cleveland stating: "I think it would be a tough situation for him to actually leave everything," Hughes said. "It's set up for him there, being from the area [and] taking that team as far as he's taken them. He's the face of the organization. He's the face of sports in that city. It would be tough."

And that is one of the toughest spots for LeBron to come to NY, however I still say Cleveland just doesn't have the market, fan base, or just overall pride to keep LeBron there past 2010, LeBron respects the Mecca of Basketball

Hughes' contract expires after next season, and he could be taking notes for James, who congratulated him on coming to the Knicks.

"He liked it," Hughes said. "He talked highly of the coach [Mike D'Antoni] and his style of play."

Again, he was talking of how great it is for his friend to be playing in NY and "congratulated" Hughes on it, its not too often you say congratulations to a player that just got traded when a team is barely in playoff contention
