As others have said, he's just trolling for hits.

Has Amico ever called a single rumor correctly?  I don't think he's got a very good track record.
rumors are fun. Why are you trying to take away my fun by bringing accuracy into the equation?

Haha.  I like the discussion, because they're no more or less legitimate than other trade ideas.  I just don't like these guys advancing their egos and careers by making stuff up.

Rumor is for JJ Hickson. I'll buy it - if we can get Hickson for a 2nd rounder or something, I'll take it. He fills a need and he'll be cheap.

Agreed, it passes the smell test.  Then again, there are only a handful of rotation big men on expiring deals that should be able to be had for cash/second rounders, and I am willing to bet Danny is in on all of them.  So, I am not sure its really news.

Yup. These are the types of deals I'd expect. Danny doesn't want to give up any real assets, so all we have to offer are Dooling, expiring players who can't even play, and 2nd rounders. That equals guys like Hickson.

Very similar player to Chris Wilcox ... replaces Wilcox well.

Remember when the rumor was the the Cavs wouldn't trade Hickson for Amare?  Those were good times.

I was thinking the same thing.  I think he is a player that could really benefit from playing with Rondo.  He looked very good taking passes from Lebron, and I think the same thing could happen if Danny could get him to Boston.  He can defend a little bit too.

The "why would some Fox Sports Ohio guy know anything" question is somewhat answered by Hickson's Cleveland history.

Heck, I wouldn't mind if the deal were JJJ for Hickson. They're the same age!
