veoshock...did u think his trade was ok 4 the cavs??i think it was.

[VeoShock]

yea, Wally is a good shooter n I wish Ben was the Ben we seen in Detroit, dont know if Father time is catching up with Ben or not, but he isnt what we r use to seeing. But like u said, if he plays like the Ben in Detriot, the Cavs could be alot better no doubt. Kind of make u wonder if it was better for the Cavs to keep Drew Gooden instead of Ben u know.

[joncuesta95]

Yeah but hughes was injured too many games...Gooden started well the season and ended playin keptchup while he was a cav...Hughes was way too inconsistent while in the court...and the suddenly they got better at chicago...Ben should try as hard as he can this season..Though now cavs have Mo Williams

[VeoShock]

Yea, that is true about the injury bug with Hughes. I believe he felt Lebron was the main option n got nervous about doing his part of the scoring. I could be wrong there, but that is what I believe cuz he was like that with A.I. to. If A.I was hurt n didnt play, Hughes would have a great gm. So dont know if that was y Hughes never scored alot in Clevlands.  Gooden was a good rebounder. Offensivly he isnt good in my opinion. N yea, Hopefully Ben gets on track again. Cavs need that.

[joncuesta95]

I think hughes will never reach his potential with the bulls...

[VeoShock]

Yea, cant disagree with u there bro. Sad but u r probably right.

is the quality of this blu-ray?

[brandonrussell79]

@momogoblue He was good before he went to Cleveland.

[brandonrussell79]

@largec He was a beast in high school. I witnessed him torch my school for 40pts!

Welcome to the Charlotte Bobcats!!!!

[momogoblue]

@RDS4Life he can never stay healthy and never played a full season in the nba cause he was never healthy.....averaged 20 pp once and once again didnt play that whole year cause he was hurt....while playing with the guy who is 6th in the nba in assists he averaged under 15 and shot round 40%....he was a bust and will never be good...he couldnt get off the bench to play or the knicks who have 26 wins

[RDS4Life]

@momogoblue u know how hard it is to average 20 in the nba...u have to play pretty much every game n do good so why dont u chill on the criticism

[RDS4Life]

@largec why dont u wait till sumone actually wants to pay u that much for anything to make any judgments about anyone...hughes is still sick n hes better than youll ever be so why dont u shut ur yap

[MJohnnyboy]

There was also his time in Washington and how well he meshed with Jamison and Arenas.

[On1y1Ch1na]

@largec he was also part of the big three in washington

I agree, Hughes is a joke now, all the media hoopla he recieved put so much pressure on him that he was unable to live up to the expectations, so he pretty much fell back and milked the money and the fame instead. That's really the sole issue with these players these days, their focused more on the money and fame more less then the work that follows with the job.
