Bulls Getting Calls about Hughes, May Consider Jeffries

The Arlington Heights Daily Herald is reporting the Chicago Bulls are receiving some interest for guard Larry Hughes and may accept a bad contract in return. Of the names mentioned, one belongs to Jared Jeffries.

“The Bulls also have discovered some interest in guard Larry Hughes, as long as they’re willing to take a big contract in return. Since the Bulls need to thin out their backcourt, some possibilities could include Portland’s Joe Przybilla, New York’s Jared Jeffries, Dallas’ Erick Dampier or Denver’s Kenyon Martin.”

Hughes is due to make $12.8 and 13.65 million and will come off the books after 2009/10. Jeffries and either Jerome James or Malik Rose would be a match.

    If the Knicks can get him by trading Jeffries and either James or Rose, that to me is a no-brainer. Even if we don’t want him, we clear Jeffries’ number off the cap for 2010. No brainer.
