Idea: Omri Casspi?

[Lucky17]

PG: Jimmer Fredette
SG: Tyreke Evans
SF: John Salmons
PF: JJ Hickson
C:  DeMarcus Cousins

Wow.

That team is going to stink.

You said it. Who is beaten to death first by the rest of the team: Cousins, or Westphal?

Westphal is definitely going to get fired.

I hear that he has had a big say in their personnel decisions this off-season too. He has created his own nightmare.

If this Hickson trade goes through, it'll be a trifecta of terrible personnel decisions in the past week for the Kings (Salmons trade, drafting a shoot-first PG to pair with Evans, surrendering last decent chip and a 1st for Hickson).

Incredibly, the Kings have already surpassed last season's ticket sales. Maybe the folks in Sacto are into bloodsport.

looks like Casspi is going to the Cavs for Hickson.

Wow. Cleveland is also getting a 1st from Sacto, according to the RealGM boards. Big.

actually Lucky I think CLE is sending the pick to SAC, but I read that it's conditional.


also:

there was some suggestion that the C's had interest in Jason Thompson with our trade suggestion... i wonder if this makes that more or less possible.

#Cavs trade is official: J.J. Hickson to Kings for Omri Casspi and 1st-round pick

Was wondering the same thing about JT. But doesn't he duplicate JaJuan?

Wow Cleveland should traded for Amare when u had the chance.  Could had him with LBJ.  Instead you had one of the worst seasons ever in the NBA.

I don't buy that rumor, I think the Suns decided that one more run at the playoffs (with the money that'd bring) was better than a deal centered around JJ Hickson (yuck!)

crappy trade for Sac.  A straight up swap I could understand --> trying to fit different pieces into different teams --- but Hickson's not worth a Sac pick straight up since it'll be a high draft pick no matter what year they give it up.
