NY Knicks Beat: Larry Hughes Practice Situation

Frank Isola had the report that despite the Knicks' best efforts to cover it up, Larry Hughes did in fact leave practice early. Apparently it was an attempt to avoid discussing his current status with the team. This coming after Hughes, out of frustration called D'Antoni's rotation, 'a joke.'
"There's frustration," Hughes said.

"There's no anger. I'm just frustrated. There's no other way to put it. I want to be out there playing and helping the team win. "I don't want it to look like I'm complaining. He's the coach of the team. It's his decision to put guys in the game and to take guys out. If my time comes again I'll be happy. But if not I'll just continue to do what I've been doing. But at the same time I'll still be frustrated because I want to play basketball."

I am not a fan of guys like Hughes who seem to often forget that playing in the NBA is a privilege not a right. You must earn your playing time and Larry, you weren't earning it. Larry should just take his seat and shut his mouth. $14M a year is an absolute joke for this guy. Be proud of being the poster boy for the over paid group of mediocre players that you're in. As the talks of a buyout heat up I have to say that I am all for that. I need to see how it would effect the Knicks exactly but I am in love with the idea.
