Kings Covet Wally Z and HicksonBy: Bill Ingram 12/22/08It's no secret that the Sacramento Kings are in love with Wally Szczerbiak's ending contract. The Kings are officially rebuilding, and Szczerbiak's ending deal is exactly the kind of thing the Kings would love to get a hold of. HOOPSWORLD has learned that the Kings would send Brad Miller and a player to the Kings if it would return Szczerbiak and JJ Hickson.
Hickson is a promising front court player who the Cavaliers were very high on after summer league, where he averaged 19.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. Of course, the margin of error for a young player on a championship-caliber team is very small, and JJ isn't finding much of a place for himself in Mike Brown's rotation. Perhaps the Cavs would be willing to let him go in favor of bringing in a front court player who's ready to compete and put up nice numbers immediately.

Well it doesn't say he is going to Cleveland, the Kings apparently want Wally's expiring but i don't see anything really happening if they want JJ. The Cavs are not gonna give up JJ in this type of deal, apparently a bunch of teams have been contacting the Cavs with proposed deals involving JJ but we have declined. The kid has a lot of upside, hasn't gotten a lot of pt because we are a contending team and you won't see a rookie big getting much playing time. But in the little time he has gotten, he has impressed me. Still needs work defensively but he is showing that he is a very capable shot blocker. He gets off his feet very quickly....
I don't really know why they want JJ considering they drafted a young solid pf, they are two different type of players though so i don't know.

There's already a thread for Miller trade speculation/rumors. And a rumor from Hoopsworld is not worth a thread of its own.
