Knick guard Larry Hughes still complains about how things ended in Chicago. According to the New York Daily News via the Daily Herald, Hughes said he did not even get a courtesy call from the Bulls about what was happening.

"I got a text message from the GM (John Paxson) - that's it," he said. "It was one line saying they appreciated my patience and wishing me good luck. I thought I'd get a courtesy call. They do it in every workplace, every day. When management sends you off, they give you a courtesy call.

"There's no relationship (with coach Vinny Del Negro). I didn't start, but that wasn't the issue. You can't start all the time. I understand that. And I voiced that. The issue was that he didn't give me a shot to be out there to contribute."
