Just as I suspected it sounds like Screamin' Steven A was talkin' out of his ass again:

I too also think Hickson could be a stud in about two years. I think if he bulks up and gets built like LeBron, he could be a poor man's Dwight Howard. I think easily if Hickson was starting for us, I think he could put up 15ppg and 9rpg, or even higher numbers than that. It is funny to see how he was playing at the start of the season, and to see how he has matured over the course of the season.

I agree, I don't want Hickson included in any deal. I am not a fan of Bosh's game at all. IF he was a top ten superstar his team would not be 19-30. It isn't like they don't have some talent, anyone seen Calderon's numbers? 50%+,45%+, 8+ assists with 4/1 assist/to ratio. Bargnani is shooting 40% plus from three, Parker is a good shooter, and Moon is an energy guy. Shouldn't the SUPERSTAR be able to get to at least to .500 with this group??

Go look at some of Bosh's game logs...sure he has some good games, but some of the numbers are underwhelming, especially when he plays other teams with good Bigs....go take a look. I would rather have a guy like David Lee, rebounding machine, not afraid to set a good hard pick...and look at his numbers, way better rebounding, few less points (but lets not forget he is not the focal point of his teams offense like Bosh is either) and his team has a better record...and you can't tell me the other 4 guys he plays with our better than the 4 Bosh plays with.

Imma make this quick, Calderon, O'neal missed a combined 26 games so far, Moon got worse, Parker is on the decline, Bargnani is playing out of his mind in the last month, but was terrible in december but solid in Nov, Kapono is pretty useless, no slasher, no consistent back-up pg play + no bench, hard schedule so far, but with all that said, the Raps are the most dissappointing team in the league this yr

Yeah I don't think the Raps are very talented either. They are an all finesse team with no defense, rebounding, or interior scoring. Bosh himself is a very good player but he is not nearly in the elite group players like James, Wade, Howard, Bryant, Paul. I'm not even sure he's as good as players like Pierce, KG, Duncan Yao and Nowitzki.

I am an NBA fan. I know what is going on with almost every team in the league, watch every team as much as possible and am not a big fan of pouncing on a team when they are down. Maybe Cavs fans will be able to relate a bit more next year, when every New York paper and web blog starts talking about how Lebron is gone no matter what.

Smith has always had a hard on for hammering the Raps and he has never changed.
This sucks large and I truly hope the Cavs go deep this year and contend for a title in the next two years. You guys are going to get this garbage ten fold next year and that is just sad.

Umm... Where have you been? We've been getting this crap for years now. Pretty much every week there's a new hack writing about how LeBron is leaving. We heard all up until he signed his first extension and we've been hearing up until now since he signed his last one. I know Toronto is getting crapped on nationally and has been for years, but I think we get it just as bad if not worse, especially since our star has said over and over that he isnt going anywhere.
