Kings waive hughes

[Revrag]

​

SACRAMENTO, CA ---- The Sacramento Kings today waived guard Larry Hughes. Hughes was acquired from the New York Knicks as part of a three-team trade on February 18, 2010, and did not appear in any contests with Sacramento.

The Kings roster now stands at 14.

How about a thank you for never wearing a Kings jersey?

Thank you Larry for your $13 million dollar contribution to our salary cap reduction!

Amick is tweeting that Hughes was bought out not simply waived. He does not know how much $ Hughes may gave up as of now.

This is a warm fuzzy.

Why would he agree to get bought out? He has a broken wrist, right? Nobody can/will probably sign him for a PO run, will they? Why give up the $$$ on his end?

Don't get me wrong, if the Maloofs can save some scratch I am happy for this kind of deal, but what was in it for Hughes????

Giving us 13.5 million at the end of year at least desrves a thank you. If we land Bosh this summer I may even vote Larry as being our MVP this year.

Like a meaningless trivia question, as one of the most obscure Kings ever and in this case he didn't even get a cup of coffee in Sactown. Joins other maybe even more obscure Sac Kings like Lloyd "Swee 'Pea" Daniels, Justic Thigpen, etc.

He's got a broken finger, and was only expected to be out a few weeks. There's talk of a few teams looking to pick him up for a playoff push out there. I would think he wanted to be bought out so he can get out on the waivers and get a shot at something...

Nobody cares about Larry Hughes. He is garbage.

 

[piksi]

I totally forgot that we had him

He is a wallking WTF moment and I will miss him

 

[mac]

[G_M]

Looks like he will have the same number of points and rebounds as Spencer tonight!

Don't forget Sam Cassell. And Drew Gooden, who is #3 all-time on the Kings' in per-game rebounding!

Do we get a Thank You Larry Hughes thread?

Why would he agree to get bought out?

It saved him from having to watch 27 of our games.

Are you going to seek a buyout with NBA League Pass?

Larry whos?

Winner! Winner!! Winner!!!

mac, you had me falling off my chair. It really struck me as hilarious.

 

[fnordius]

Didn't do that this year. You?

 

[Sptsjunkie]

Didn't do that this year. You?

Lol, no. Sadly, I don't have it this year. Work too many hours right now to be watching it anyway. Plan on having it again next year though.
