Cant afford Hickson

if we sign kmart, i trust riley choices.if not its very logical to me.
In his days Kmart was awesome defender

Come on. Kmart is a starter on most teams he's played on. Turiaf is a bench warmer most nights

The source is the poster-- Watchout. He is a supposed Heat insider (I think he said he was relatives with someone in the organization). So far, his claims have been legit. If I recall correctly, he called the Big 3 signing here before it happened, the Mike Bibby signing before he was officially bought out, the Ronny Turiaf signing, the shopping of Michael Beasley, the signings of Ray, Shard, and Mike. Again, he called these things before they happened, and later, they did happen. Of course, he has been wrong on several things, but for the most part, he has been right. Since we can't look up someone's post history, I'd recommend putting his username through Google so you can see his past posts for proof.

Been saying this since last year. He'd be a good fit and gives us another rotation big.

I feel he'll never play though...

Great!!!
We need him. He plays excellent defense even now and is surprisingly athletic at this stage. for those who watched the clippers last time. He was their shut down defender down the stretch (eg defense on Gay in the amazing comeback game: Playoffs). He is also a decent rebounder. Also had some nasty dunks. The clips would've retained him if he did not want more money and play time (Guy wanted to start). The bad part of his game last year was the fall in his FG%. He usually has a good mid range game.
His attitude also is a reason why he hasn't been signed by many teams this time. I'm sure that won't be a problem with us. It wasn't a problem with the Clips last year IMO.

and Most importantly.. No more stone Hands!!!!

This now means we can play a line-up that is good defensively and is not offensively f*cked.

WADE
BATTIER/RAY
LEBRON
KMART
BOSH

I agree he's still a good defender but his offense has fallen off and he's not a great rebounder, just a decent one.

He's an upgrade over Joel and Haslem, but that's really not that impressive at this stage. not that excited about him.

Samuel Dalembert isn't even sniffing the court with Milwaukee, I wish the'll buy him out so we can get him. he's still a very good rebounder.

this isnt prime kmart. the guy had tough injuries thru his career too.

I don't think he'd play to be honest.

It would be a great signing if it was 2 years ago. He is on the edge of end of his career. He has been struggling with health issues for years. It would be like Turiaf, Curry signings. I really hate seeing U-D, Joel or in the past Turiaf, Dampier playing on the court but K-Mart is not the cure to this problem at this stage of his career. I would consider Troy Murphy over K-Mart.

Kmart is way better than everyone you mentioned. Unless I need to watch more ball...

All this team needs is a rebounding, energy player, its about filling little holes. You saying Kenyon cant get rebounds and play good D?

I chillin. Hickson was bought out by Warriors after trade by Cleveland. He was picked up by Portland and signed after good audition. We need him! He has the youth, athleticism and he can defend. One of the major mistakes Mike Brown made was not playing this kid more! No we can't afford him now but that is the type of player we need! + he has some upside!!!

Yes, I wanted him on the team since he was in Cleveland but I know it won't happen

dude this man is really injury prone. of course his past is way better than the players that i mentioned. but really i don't think he can give something extra to this team after all the injuries and 36 years old age.

Last year he was playing great down the stretch of playoff games for the Clippers. After seeing that I have been calling for him all off-season. Would be a fantastic signing to me.

Always good seeing wAtChOut posts on this board.

Last I've seen of him he's better than all our big men outside of Bosh but maybe I'm wrong
