Blazers GM Neil Olshey says team will not issue qualifying offer to JJ Hickson but will be open to negotiating on July 1

[loveforthegame]

He played well for them down the stretch.

I don't think he got a fair shake in Sacramento. I would hope the Spurs consider him.

[sasffl]

A athletic power forward we need but I don't we have enough money spend on him

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Yes please.

[Wild Cobra Kai]

Unlike Tyrus Thomas, this guy has actually produced a good season, plus half of one last year. JJ is also a couple of years younger.

[CGD]

Would be great

[Mel_13]

It would be very un-Spurlike to abandon pursuit of both Diaw and Lorbek and offer all or most of the MLE to Hickson. Interesting risk/reward proposition.

Yeah

And even though he has good size and is a good offensive BIG, he sucks defensively.

The guy has always been a head-case and delusional about his value.

SAC gave up a future 1st + Omri for him and he didn't last half a season. He got waived so quickly that i doubt his mentality has changed.

I prefer Diaw or Lorbek over him even though he has some talent. Talent is not enough in San Antonio. You have to be coachable in order to play here. He is totally the anti-Spur

The Golden State Warriors are the frontrunner to sign J.J. Hickson, according to sources: http://tinyurl.com/7l3z4ub

Not too surprising, he was essentially there before POR stepped in.

[loveforthegame]

Good move for the Warriors.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I like Hickson, but he's not what we need. He's more of a scorer than anything else, not a good defender. Pass.

[T Park]

Another Samaki Walker.

[SamoanTD]

No thanks
