The local newspaper is reporting Hughes is interested in reuniting with LB and becoming a Bobcat.

A source familiar with the situation said Hughes would like to sign with the Bobcats. Hughes played in Philadelphia for Bobcats coach Larry Brown and worked with Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins when Higgins was in management roles in Washington and Golden State.

Higgins and Brown both declined comment on Hughes, who would clear waivers late today.

Signing Hughes to a veteran-minimum contract in time to be playoff-eligible would cost the Bobcats about $240,000 the rest of the season, a number that would still keep them below the threshold to pay the NBA's luxury tax. Jordan and Higgins have said the team has no intention of being a tax-paying franchise this season.

Henderson will not get more PT.. Brown wont allow it.. he likes his vets

Like i said before, when are we bringing Eric Snow in? We flirted with AI, brought in Raja, Ratliff and now talks of Hughes. What's with all of LB's has been 76er players he keeps bringing in? If your going to bring in your old players at least bring some newer ones from the Pistons team.

I've got no problem with them bringing in Hughes. The guy is versatile, can play 3 positions and would add some needed depth with the loss of Flip. I agree he's on the decline but why not bring him in to give us 10-15 solid minutes off the bench?

Larry Hughes used to play with Michael Jordan in Washington and played for Larry Brown in Philadelphia.
