Cavaliers trade JJ Hickson to the Sacramento Kings for a 1st round pick.

NBA lockout is gonna suck way worse

I think it's a protected 1st round pick, so if the Kings don't make the playoffs, the cavs don't get the pick.

so basically it's JJ for Casspi straight up... which sucks for the cavs.

They didn't wanna trade hickson for so more than casspi because they thought he was gonna be soooooo good, and now they're left with casspi. seriously cleveland?

Sources: Indiana Pacers to officially name Frank Vogel coach - ESPN

Weird how the Pacers hire their coach after the draft, and during a lockout.

A great hire, as the Pacers didn't have much of a choice after what he did in the 2nd half of the season and the emergence of Hansborough.
