Former Cavalier Larry Hughes signs with Charlotte Bobcats

The Charlotte Bobcats are currently tied for 6th in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.  They added what they hope to be some help in order to finish the deal.  The Bobcats came to terms with former Cavalier Larry Hughes on a contract.  

Hughes was traded from the Knicks to Sacramento prior to the trade deadline.  The Kings released Hughes after the trade.  Hughes was suffering from a broken finger at the time, which prevented the Bobcats from signing him earlier.  Hughes is expected to help the Bobcats make up for the loss of Flip Murray, who was traded to Chicago last month.

The Cavaliers lost 3 of 4 games to the Bobcats this season and the two teams could meet in the 1st Round of the NBA Playoffs this season.
