Sam Amico to announce new C's trade rumor after Bucks/Cavs

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

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.

Ugh--that was my initial reaction. He was pretty good last season in Cleveland but has been decidedly unimpressive in Sacramento this year--and I'm never encouraged by a mediocre performance on a bad team. He averaged 8.7 rebounds last year, so if he could replicate that I'd be happy; then again, he's only 6-9, so doesn't bring much length. Well, I guess beggars can't be choosers.

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

Truth.

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

I was just talking about that the other day with a friend of mine... Talk about wanting a do-over.

Hickson is 6'9 though, he still doesn't solve or lack of a true center issue

Exactly.

The rebounding is a question, although I am not surprised he has struggled in Sacramento.  He is not the type of player who can make his own shot.  He needs others to create them for him, but he is a very strong finisher when they do.  Sacramento, unfortunately for him, is filled with only players that create shots for themselves.  The C's (and the Cavs with Lebron) on the other hand are the opposite.  They move the ball a lot, and have guys who can create shots for others.

He really is very similar to Wilcox on Detroit, as compared to when he was playing with Ridnour and company in Seattle.  If someone can take advantage of his cuts, then he is effective, otherwise, he is pretty useless.

Beggars can't be choosers.  At the moment we don't have many PFs either.  I would much rather we get a quality rotation PF like Hickson, than a scrapheap center (although, realistically, we might get both).

Would be good depth behind Bass and KG.

It would take pennies to get Hickson probably. Would still love to add Kaman to this team though.

Wouldn't read into it too much, Hickson gets a lot of DNPs.

well Hickson not playing is normal this year, Jimmer however is interesting

Jimmer isnt playing because he's a dud.

He got in for a few minutes, but I agree it's a deviation from the norm. I don't see what kind of role he'd have in Boston, though.

Rodney Stuckey just abused Fredette on the offensive glass.

Tough matchup for Jimmer.
