J.J. Hickson

[perks-a-beast]

What are your guys's thoughts on Hickson? Personally, i've liked him ever since he came in the the league. He runs the floor well, rebounds and has improved offensively every year. He's still only 23 and could be a nice building block for the future. He's a restrictede free agent. Do you think he's a likely target for the C's? Major upgrade over BB. How much do you think he'll get paid? Averaged 15 and 8 last year so my guess is that a bad team with a lot of cap space can offer him more than the C's but i'm no expert.

I absolutely love JJ, he is very good on the boards, athletic, has improved on both ends of the floor and like you said is only 23.

I would much rather have him than BB, in fact I'd rather have him than Ilysova. However he will be too expensive and I can't see a scenario where Portland let's him walk, they will at least sign and trade him. He would probably command at least 7-8 mill a year for 3-4 years

Wouldn't mind Hickson either. I'd hope he wouldn't be nearly that expensive but he's got energy and he can play. I definitely wouldn't pay Bass what he's asking for to come back.

[Chief]

I like him too. I think Rondo would make him look like a semi-all-star talent again. Having said that, I'm not sure he is the answer for the future. Like Jeff Green, he will probably get more than he's worth and I don't see that addition helping us get pass the Heat.

If you look at what he did in Portland he showed that if used correctly he can be a very good player. I'm not sure what Portland would match considering they have to re-sign Batum as well.

I'd love Hickson in Boston but I have no idea how much he is worth.

His offensive game is superior to Wilcox as is his rebounding

I'd be more interested in a comparison of their defense.
