Hughes is a very solid player, but the injury issues he's had are a real concern.

i would rather have gotten someone like joe johnson, but if theyre gonna keep lbj around theyre gonna have to make sure they dont get left out in the cold, so i like this signing. they could have used a better outside shooter tho

no way they could have gotten joe johnson.

they got the best player available and a really good player at that. it is nearly impossible for one player to assess all the needs of the cavs at this time.

Overspending WAS worth it. The Cavs needed to get someone. If Allen, Redd, Hughes, and Joe Johnson were all gone I would agree with signing Simmons to a HUUUUGE deal, just because with LeBron entering free agency in 3 years, they NEEDED to do something. They have cash, so use it. Hughes is a great addition to the Cleveland lineup.

BTW, Joe Johnson is restricted and Pheonix said they will match any offer. Offering JJ a contract would mean tying a team up for 15 days while all the other FA's sign with other teams.

Washington is screwed. Joe Johnson would have been a better fit.
