Wonder who picks him up? Funny how only like two years ago he was the centerpiece and deciding factor in the Amar'e to Cavs trade.
Who needs a PF. He's young. Bobcats should grab him, I think he's got a little bit of talent, he was just on the wrong team.
It's impressive how it came to this. This guy was an untouchable trade chip when the Cavs needed to get Lebron more help. When hindsight takes off the veil of potential people can look real stupid.
Hickson has been awful this year, but he's obviously talented. In a way he's the PF version of T-Will, as the Kings traded Casspi and a 1st for him not too long ago (before the lockout I think). Rockets have an open roster spot. Not sure about Hickson's attitute, but he may be worth a flyer. Hope he doesn't end up with the Heat.
I doubt the Heat pick him up, they don't need another PF. Bobcats makes sense, I could see the Raptors or Warriors taking him too. Hell, I could even see Ainge trying to sell Celtics fans that Hickson is the missing big man.
I hope the Spurs giving him the MLE they still have, as Danny Ferry was high on him in Cleveland. Would be nice to grab him, and Diaw .
yah the cavs prob lost james over that. Also killed our draft pick because amare went to new york and dragging melo with him
Didn't they give up a 1st round pick and Casspi (whose popularity among the American Jewish community makes him a mini-Yao-Ming type phenom) for Hickson? What a waste. I guess Hickson is their version of Terrence Williams, only he cost more.
Geoff Petrie used to be a great GM, but I don’t know what he’s doing anymore. Taking on Salmons’ bad contract to move down in the draft for Jimmer, trading Casspi and a 1st for a guy they ended up buying out 4 months later…I guess he did something right by picking Isaiah Thomas with the 60th pick, but damn, missing out on a Bismack/Cousins frontcourt is just terribad...
Raptors have their own version of him in Amir Johnson Plus they are log jamed at PF too with Bargs, Ed David, and Amir
Forgot they had Amir Johnson- although I wouldn't be surprised if either him or bargnani are amnestied.
