Larry Hughes and his beard want to be traded

Now, I have heard of many interesting ways that NBA players tried to get themselves traded from a team but this might take the cake.

Current New York Knick Larry Hughes has an interesting plan to get himself out of New York, he's not shaving his beard.

We get more for The New York Daily News:

Larry Hughes' thick beard isn't so much a fashion statement as it is a sign of frustration.

Apparently, the veteran guard has no plans of trimming his facial hair until he is traded, released or is playing regularly again for the Knicks, the latter of which Hughes is convinced will never happen.

"I'm not going to play," he said in a whisper. "I know that."

Yep, Mr. Hughes is a weird one to the say the least but I get his point, he wants be moved so he can play for a contender or at least play on a regular basis.

However, I still do not know how this is going to force the Knicks hand on any level. Maybe, Mr. Hughes should go the route of saying that he won't bathe until he gets more playing time.

That might get some players asking for his departure, sooner rather later.
