The players have done a good job of not showing off the bling this summer. But Larry Hughes didn’t get the memo. The video above is from the veteran guard’s photo shoot with Delux Magazine and he shows off his home and cars. If the players really want to know why so many fans say “just take the deal on the table” they should just watch this video. Nice house, though. NBCSports.com

Larry Hughes wants back in, whenever the NBA lets players back in. Hughes sat out all of last season after he failed to secure the deal that he wanted in free agency two summers ago. “Obviously, I wanted to play,” Hughes said recently. “At the same time I wanted to be stable. I didn’t want to go to a situation where it was a one-year deal, or partial guarantee deal where at any time you could be out of there moving on. I wanted certain things after moving around the past three years, to different teams, I wanted something solid. If I didn’t get that, I wasn’t coming back.” Washington Post

The Wizards initially offered Hughes a six-year, $54-million contract, but Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld raised the bid to $70 million over the same number of years before Hughes decided to sign with Cleveland. Grunfeld would fill the void the by trading Kwame Brown to the Los Angeles Lakers for Caron Butler. The way Hughes sees it, he managed to earn $70 million over six years, and has made the most of his time away from the game since. “I had time to hang with my family, reconnect with my kids. It wasn’t a lost cause at all and I got healthy,” Hughes said. “I was really enjoying the time. When it’s time to get ready to go somewhere you can go. You don’t have to check with a team, look at the schedule, you can just go, living the free life.” Washington Post

Hughes has been doing individual workouts in his hometown of St. Louis and is still hoping for another opportunity to wear an NBA jersey again, but already has a taste of life without the game. “If things aren’t right, how I envision coming back, playing a few more years, I’ve got a head start,” he said. Sitting out a year “really just prepared me for what it will be like when I really am done. When I’m done, I know what to expect.” Washington Post

Ex-Bobcat Larry Hughes participated in the pickup games Wednesday, although I wonder if there's any room for him on Charlotte's roster. The team is pretty deep at shooting guard with guaranteed contracts to Stephen Jackson, Gerald Henderson and Matt Carroll. Charlotte Observer
