    If he had two more rebounds, he would have had a decent game.

    Yeah, until he can give us 2 more boards a game; we need to trade him for Monroe or lottery picks

    I didn't get to watch the game so correct me if I am wrong but are we saying we really couldn't use Hickson next year?

    Some say he gives up more than he gets but I doubt he gave up 22 boards. I know he got 21 and that is beasting.

    Yes I know they are mostly talking about his D but there is a spot for this guy warts and all I believe.

    We are one of the worst defensive teams in the nba. We need a paint protector. I wish we could have gotten hibbert; then we would have kept hickson too.

    Newsflash, our who team is shit on Defense this year. From 1 man to the next. We need to improve there overall period. A paint defender would obviously be nice. A lot of teams are searching for one. They don't come easy or cheap. Dalembert is going to be hot commodity. We need to man up and play better on D period. That means improvement from LMA, Matthews, Hickson, everyone. I not going to single out anyone because they have all been lousy.

    So for me you can keep Hickson and improve.

    Olshey will again find that his big summer FA is re-signed by his current team. So, we'll be left with nothing if we abandon Hickson.

    Your main man was impressive tonight, and so was Hickson.

    I actually wish we had room to keep hickson. I think he's done a great job this season. I won't lie....

    I was talking about Nolan, playing the entire last minute without a turnover.

    I find that hard to believe. Doesn't he turn the ball over every minute he is on the court? He must have tripped his own player or something to avoid being counted for

    Our game against the Sixers started an hour earlier and had a 14 page thread.

    I called him out.

    Claver has a sprained ankle, dude.

    Of course we could use Hickson next year. But the questions are at what price, and at what cost (re what other player might we miss out on if we keep Hickson).

    I wish or hope that hickson could stay as a backup; but it's a huge pipe dream. But crazier things had happened! :)
