J.J Hickson?

3yr/18mil for Hickson as our back-up 4/5 is the fairest deal...Dumars needs to hire me as an assistant GM...

No they didn't, they'll have cap space by simply not resigning Hickson. They could but have made it clear that they're is no intent to sign him.

They have 12-13 mill & 500 needs. They dont have the money to resign Hickson like I said.

I dont watch Portland much, but from everything ive heard and read about him it sounds like hes the kind of guy thats more worried about getting his than he is about his team winning basketball games.

Swing & a miss, Hickson is a team guy.

So you're saying they DO have the money to re-sign him. Yet Hickson is just not a priority.

Portland is questionable at the 2, & 5 with major inconsistencies at the 3 & no bench whatsoever.

Hickson is worth atleast 10, that will leave them w/ no money left.

Hence my original statement that massively overpaying a mediocre Batum handicapped them.

Hickson wants a starting gig, he is going to help a team needing a post scoring 4 big time. Love the kid.

Post scoring? We talking about the same dude?

the JJ Hickson from Port who on his 9.3 shots per game, 6 of them are at the rim (within 3 feet) at a 68% clip.

idk about a max deal, but c'mon...A 24 yr old 6-9, 245 lb PF avg 13 pts, 10 rebs, on 57% FG, in only 29 mpg with a PER of 20, and you think he's only getting an MLE deal?

He's going to get at least a 10 mil/yr deal. Anyone thinking he's going to give up a chance at his first big contract just to come and ve a backup on a 30 win team is being unrealistic. I honestly don't think he'd do that to go start on MIA. He's 24 yrs old and just had an awesome season, why wouldn't he want to get paid big time?

I could see DAL giving him a 10-12 mil/yr deal easily, as well as many other teams in this weak FA class. If Amir Johnson got 8 mil/yr coming off a 4 pt, 4 reb season, Hickson will easily get 10 mil at least

Hickson is easily worth 10, a very underrated post player which an off the charts motor.

Just got back in a few hours ago from out of town for the weekend and catching up on transactions. I see J.J. Hickson got 3 years and $15 million. So I would just like to bump this and laugh at anybody who thought he was getting $10 million, let alone near max. Like I said throughout this thread, teams would be a lot more careful with what they spent this summer and they have. Ironically the biggest head scratcher contract came from the Spurs with Splitter.

Not really surprising that's all Hickson got with the reputation he has.
