Brooklyn or bust! ‘

That’s what J.J. Hickson was telling the Portland Trail Blazers today in the hours leading up to the NBA trade deadline, league sources told SheridanHoops.com.

Hickson made it known that he would only waive his trade veto if he was dealt to the Brooklyn Nets, but a trade between the teams was looking highly unlikely as the final hour before the 3 p.m. deadline arrived.

Brooklyn would only be willing to do a Hickson deal if they were sending back Kris Humphries, and other players would have to be included to keep Portland under the luxury tax.

But Portland has no interest in Humphries, according to a source close to the Blazers who said Portland preferred to acquire one of the Nets’ young players or Eurostash players along with a draft pick.

Hickson, averaging 12.9 points and 10.4 rebounds, will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. He is in the fifth and final year of his rookie-scale contract, and by waiving his no-trade clause Hickson would relinquish his Larry Bird rights

Both are FROM the ATL! Come on FAMS!!!!

I know this, all I was stating was that Smith is from the ATL and that's why he has the tatt....... not that he is a fan of the team? You're lucky you recently got over 1,000 posts or wouldn't have even replied to you.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'd be good with Humphries.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Ya, I wouldn't take Hump anymore with that contract. Brooks and the Euro maybe though.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I'd be good with Humphries.

Makes 12 MIL next year! There goes all our cap space. Would have less then MLE money available.

 

[RR7]

Humphries takes up basically all of our cap space next season. Not interested.

 

[Blazinaway]

I'd be good with Humphries.

at 12 mil next year? no fukkin way

He has a tat of the old school Hawks logo. The ones he grew up watching as a youngster. Dominique and such.

 

[Blazinaway]

Once again? Like, just like last deadline?

not much we can do with JJ if he only allows us ONE team to deal with, screw him

Just wait until the off-season and then sign and trade Hickson to the Nets when they strike out on Howard.

^This! Would be great for us depending on what is going out.

"Depending on what's going out" Who would you be afraid to give up?

Probably no one that would realistically go out. Thinking more picks and such.

Eric Maynor going from OKC to the Blazers is 100 percent happening, sources say

boom

We've got a lot of second rounders this year (3 I think?)

Good. I think he'll be a nice backup point.

cool, at least we finally get a decent backup PG, no more Nolan PLEASE!

 

[Mediocre Man]

This deal makes no sense unless a long term deal is going out

RT @windhorstespn: The Blazers will use an exception to take Eric Maynor, likely sending a pick to OKC.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Done deal according to Marc Spears.

Exactly!!!!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Why is that? Maynor's contract can either end this year or be extended to next year with qualifying offer from what it looks like.

 

[RR7]

This deal makes no sense unless a long term deal is going out

backup young PG for next to nothing. Why does it make no sense? Get a good look at potential future piece.

It's gotta be a second rounder. we can't trade a first because of the stepien rule

If it is just a 2nd then it is a steal.
