OT: Kings waive J.J. Hickson

Per Ken Berger (@KBergCBS)

Thoughts?

 

[BigP50]

Love JJ, really hope we can land him, if we are looking at him.

 

[xCraCKz]

Same here, I'm all for it. I've loved this kid and he just never blossomed in Sac. I remember the hype surrounding this kid in Cleveland.

 

[FirstTimer]

Bye bye Scal.

I wouldn't mind him.. but why would he wanna come here? There wouldn't be many minutes for him. He'd probably wanna go somewhere he's actually going to play over 18 MPG. I can actually see him ending up in L.A

 

[FirstTimer]

He should go to Orlando.




Or Miami will sign him.

 

[Diddy1122]

That makes the most sense. They desperately need someone, anyone, over 6-8 to play in the post.

And it doesn't hurt that him & Bron are butt buddies. Or maybe it does.

Lebron loves him so Miami is likely. The Pacers have cap room and one of the few teams that could give him a decent amount of money I hope the Pacers look at him we have no athletic bigs one of our biggest weakness.

 

[clonetrooper264]

Miami probably.

 

[Crystallas]

Teams that have waiver priority, will snatch Hickson up before the Bulls will ever get a chance. But I would take him in a second. I'm guessing the Celtics, Knicks, and Heat are on it, with maybe Houston in the running.

2.5mil is what a team is obligated to cover, unless he clears waivers, and Hickson is at or just below his market value.

The Bulls better not let Miami sign him.....Hickson may be what we need to provide Ddeng with some relief. A good wingplayer off the bench for us and a future.......I. would go and sign hickson before I ever sign Fisher........its a good idea that makes sense. Get it Done Pax.

What the hell are you talking about? Hickson's a Power Forward...

:lmao: Since when has Hickson ever been a wing player?

He can play both with the Cavs last year he played more SF than PF. But he should be played at PF .

 

[waldo7239117]

The Celtics could be a good bet now.

 

[Crystallas]

Yeah, he can play the 3. He just can't shoot 3s.

 

[Glide2keva]

So everyone that gets waived or cut the Bulls have to try and sign?

 

[waldo7239117]

It's likely he'll go to Golden State, per Y! Sports.

Hey now. We have been after a backup big for some time. It's not the usual, where Joakim, Taj, and Booz have been healthy for a season. JJ Hickson is the first person available that I'm down with pursuing. And a lot of other posters here are firsts on this one too.

Jesus tap dancing Christ we need to jump on him immediately. Low risk, high reward rental for the rest of the season. On top of that, we could look into extending him after this season. With Asik's contract coming to an end and us having the ability to extend a qualifying offer, it'd be awesome to add another young big. I'd love to have Hickson coming off the bench with Asik and Gibson.
