Early bird rights hearing on jj hickson & others starts today. Dec to come before july 1
 
What hearing? I had never heard if this. What is the issue?
 
They either do or they don't right? What's in question. Why would we not know if he does or doesn't?

It's related to players getting waived and the teams that pick them up, if they get to keep bird rights.

Here's a story from a few weeks back on this issue:

I'd think that the outcome of this hearing will impact the decision on whether the Blazers extend a qualifying offer to Hickson. If he doesn't have Bird rights that would ultimately allow them to go over the salary cap to sign him, it doesn't seem to me that there's any reason to do the QO.
 
Thanks for the link. Will read later.

Falling behind due to work? No shit.

I mean, this has only been an ongoing discussion off and on for some time now. It's not like you've been completely absent from the board.

KEEP UP, ROOK!!

Come on, FAMS!

What is his cap hold if we do vs don't extend QO?
