Yeah, It's like someone in the district attorney's office called one of the Malloofs and said "Uh, you know that Hickson guy?"
lol..it would definitely give new material to the JJ Hickson troll, who HATES the Spurs..lol

Boston is now in big problems. With Wilcox and O'Neal out they'll also probably try to get Turiaf, Diaw or Hickson.
Yep they are in trouble to. Let's see if we can get Hickson before one of the other contenders...
hes a warrior
Got a link or at least want to tell us where you heard that?
Not gonna help us this year. Rather have Diaw
Diaw has been complete garbage this season, and gets no PT on the most talent deprived team in the league.. but you guys want him over Hickson? Some of you are dumbasses.
There's maybe one bigger pussy in this league than either Bonner or Jefferson, and it's Diaw. The dude would be hated by the end of this season.
Clearly an unbiased take of Mr. Diaw
lol you should listen to bill walton's take....
Seems to me like nobody can take an unbiased take of diaw, people are either love him or hate him, but come on, how can you not like a guy with that name lol....
so j j is a warrior... is there a link to confirm this?
Yea, but theres no way that you actually make that trade this season. This isn't Madden or 2K. Players need time to assimilate into a system and it's doubtful JJ would be ready to play this season at all. We're already down to only 4 bigs, by swapping JJ for Blair you essentially go from 4 to 3.
A trade that might have actually made sense was James Anderson for JJ Hickson. I haven't checked the salaries but I assume it's close. But obviously that didn't happen.
Always makes me think of Golden Eye
It was the Suns that backed out of the deal.
He is an athletic big. I like the idea, but I am not completely sold on him. If the Spurs do bring him in, I don't think he could really do anything immediately (if he comes here, I would hope to be pleasantly surprised). The Spurs need an above the rim intimidator. I actually think he could do good as weak side help, but is definitely not ready to be a defensive anchor.
Hickson should go the Warriors:

It's very troubling that it looks like Spurs are doing nothing to fix their front line. They have been linked to some players at the trade deadline (Flynn, Josh Howard) and have done a trade for Jackson but nothing about a bigman. There are no rumors about Spurs wanting to add one of the waived bigmen while they have been linked to Fisher and will sign Mills. The Dawson signing looks a lot like a placehodler. Either Spurs are fine with what they have, which is just wrong, or they are all in on Diaw, which is risky.
Spurs should definitely be pushing for Turiaf right now especially with the uncertainty of Diaw being waived or not. What the is taking the Charlotte front office so long? It is risky to wait for Diaw if we haven't heard any news that he's actually being waived/
Bargaining on the buyout amount.
Are we assuming JJ wouldn't be able to help because of the learning curve?
I wants him, precious.
What an ultra FAT Diaw managed to do THIS season :
- played point-center/forward for the worst team in the league
- still managed to light up the Knicks... twice, beating them once (19 pts 8-12, 10 rbds, 7 ast, 1 stl & 27 pts 12-15, 6 ast, 3 rbs, 1 stl)
- tied his career high in rebounds against the Heat with 16 (16 Pts 7-14, 16 rbds, 8 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk), they lost by one point before anyone talks about empty stats
Nice finds.
Diaw is absolutely the best option for us. Does he fit our needs long-term? Not as well as some others. But he gives us the best possible improvement NOW through the end of the season.
My bet is the skeletons name is DeMarcus Cousins.
This. Charlotte is a horribly managed franchise that is run on a shoestring. They owe Diaw something like $2M remaining for this year, and are probably trying to get him to surrender it all. Diaw's camp probably wants to give up half or less, which is pretty standard. As the deadline for playoff roster eligibility approaches. Charlotte's stance will naturally soften, since they want him gone, and don't want to pay him his entire salary, since once the deadline passes, Diaw has ZERO motivation to accept a buyout. He'll just sit back and collect his $2M and sit on the bench
