id love hickson on the team. he played very good for portland last season

I have been reading that everyone will be shocked if Hickson signs anywhere other than Golden State.

I have been reading that everyone will be shocked if Hickson signs anywhere other than Golden State.

If I'm Hickson, I would think the Bobcats would be the place to go.

- He would probably just get a two year deal, so if we still suck in three years he can bail

- He would be close to home

- He would probably start

- He would have the chance to be a big part of the future of this franchise

Pro's and Cons of signing with the Warriors

- He is a sub

- He has a chance to go to the playoffs

- He probably receives less money

- He is not a huge part of the Warriors franchise.

I like Hickson as a Bobcat, but any free agent is going to demand mucho-bucks to sign with Charlotte.

I have been reading that everyone will be shocked if the Bobcats don't trade the #2 pick. ^_^

J.J. Hickson's best game last year (29 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists)

That dunk over DeAndre Jordan could probably even get TWC Arena hopping.

Nets get Joe Johnson.

Former UNC forward Marvin Williams has been traded to the Utah Jazz for Devin Harris. The deal hasn't gone through yet, but it should.

Well this just ruined my day. Not official but it looks like scott machado is heading to houston.

Also JJ Hickson coning here would be awesome.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I also saw that undrafted free agent, power forward: Kevin Jones chose to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers over us.

I really hope that the Pacers won't match Portland's offer, so that Hibbert will be a Blazers. In that case, Portland probably would not try to match any offer sheet for Hickson (RFA), so he could leave. And we will have a chance to make a play for him. I think Pacers have till tomorw to match Portland's offer or Hibbert will become a Blazers tomorw.

[C47]

Nope Pacers have till July 14 (three days after Hibbert can actually sign the offer sheet) to match...

[Proudiddy]

Also just read on RGM's main page earlier that GS will NOT go into the luxury tax and they only have 4 mil in cap room before hitting the LT, IIRC. That said, I have no problem in offering Hickson 4.5 mil a year.

Danny Ferry aint been the GM for the Hawks 2 weeks and he's already moved Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams. Word is Josh Smith is on the trading block too.

[GotSwag?]

Im hearing some of the same media who blasted MJ for blowing up our team, are praising Danny Ferry for blowing up a top 5 team in the East..

My point - Just dont listen to the media when it comes to the Bobcats. We can do nothing right apparently.
