Ah, but, Hughes isn't a rising star. He's a six year player who's looking worse pretty much every season, is injury prone and shoots worse than Stack (at regular FG's, at 3's and at FT's) and thus isn't the scoring threat. Plus he doesn't have the size Stackhouse does.

Negative? Try realistic. Nobody will want to go to a team that dumps it's best player, has a horrid frontcourt, a twig backcourt with no real PG and has a management that says it doesn't want to pay it's players.

Clippers have no max players and even if they did, they wouldn't be unaffordable. There are only two max FA's next year, Duncan and Kidd. And Stackhouse+Brown will not get you either of them. Hell, Stackhouse+Brown won't even net you Kandi, Brand, Odom or Andre Miller.
unstoppable wrote:That team will also know that Stackhouse won't get the max next season from any of the 29 teams and is thus affordable.
So, some team will trade it's superstar player for Kwame Brown. I highly doubt that.
unstoppable wrote:Hughes is the only guard they have who can match up against others at both ends.
No, he can't. He's only 184lbs.
unstoppable wrote:Dixon and Hughes can defintely play starters minutes (Hughes already does while Dixon has dominated everytime he has had signficant minutes - check the box scores)
Yes, they can play 32-36 minutes a night, but they can't play 48 minutes. Which is what I said.
unstoppable wrote:and Lue has always played big minutes though off the bench.
But he's a FA. They have to renounce him in order to have the maximum amount of cash under the cap to not sign anybody worth it.

If I recall correctly, Stackhouse was happy to be a Wizard because they were going to give him that extension he desires.
