    smh, man they really ? this up....2 years ago Hickson could've been traded for Amare Stoudamire.

    Now they go ahead and draft Tristan Thompson who isn't better than Hickson and trade Hickson for a future 1st rounder to a team that might be really good in 2 years. Had they taken Kyrie Irving and Valancuinas (big man that had to go back overseas for a year drafted by Toronto) Hickson could've built up his trade value through the season and they could've tried to trade him for a 1st rounder this coming season in a draft thats gonna be GREAT. Then next year you got Kyrie, Valanciunas, and maybe 2 lottery picks (1 from themselves ? you know they gon trash again, and 1 from the team they trade with).


    Then for the Kings, I guess they're just gonna go no defense....Jimmer, Tyreke, Salmons, Hickson, and Cousins....ROFL they'll be exciting to watch though.

    great pick up for the kings, JJ Hickson can ball ...he didnt get to start until after a while this past season and when he did he put up really really good numbers ...so his 13 and 8 are a tad misleading ...

    once he started he probably was a 18 or 19 ppg player and 10 or 11 rebound guy .... very good move by the kings

    lol they in the same boat as the Twolves when it comes to that, bunch of young talent with no vets....but at least the Kings dont have 100 people that play the same position. They should be able to win games by outscoring people with the talent they got but thats it.

    Good way to sell tickets and try to keep your team though.

    Kings are likely gonna be back in the lottery, i dont know about giving up a high end pick for a player like Hickson entering into his contract year.

    u really struggle to read i swear, i didnt say he would be that next to cousins, i said with the cavs when he became a starter he was around 18 or 19 ppg player and also 10 or 11
    rebounds

    ..with the kings it will go down because they got guys who like to touch the rock, the statement i was making was Hickson showed he can play , he showed he could score and rebound...

    Stern already gave Sactown another year to push for a new building. Those politicians have to have something else to do other than impregnate their nannies and house cleaners. Word to the governator!!!!!!

    Good pickup by my ? ...another big to give more problems to teams out west....and we don't need anymore lottery picks...we just have to surround our 3 1st round picks Reke, Cousins and Jimmer with some defense in leadership in these next couple years...We have a nice young core that just has to gel, and we're good...It's gonna take about 2 years watch....? it, we're getting the 8th seed next year...We're averaging alot of points i know that ? ..you have a bad night defensively against us your ? ..

    Damn, like I said Dan Gilbert doesn't know what he is doing.
    He traded away Mo Williams and now J.J. Hickson, Wow.
    U could have did that Mo Williams trade in 2010 and brought in Baron Davis.
    U could have traded Hickson for a solid big man, u wait until after LeBron left.

    This imo will be the kings biggest problem, and when your two best players lack that quality IDK how it's gonna work out.

    I'm glad we got rid of JJ cause that ? was too inconsistent and he was not a hard worker. He didn't do anything to improve his game after Lebron left and he couldn't handle it when Byron Scott got in his grill about his lazy work ethic. Omri is a pretty decent role player but he fits better with us than JJ cause he plays harder/thread
