What would you like to see the Blazers get in a trade for JJ Hickson?...

Lebron James.

 

[/thread]

 

Do you think the have to get a center back in return? Are draft picks enough? Maybe you think they should trade Aldridge instead? Or just stick with what they have?

 

Not sure. What do you think they should do?

 

I would like to see them get Durant back. Let's face it. Oden was drafted before Durant. Therefore Oden > Durant. Hickson beat out Oden last year, therefore Hickson > Oden. Hence, applying the transitive rule Hickson > Durant.

 

Hickson has to have little to no value. so if we could get a late first or a prospect for him, I would be elated.

I have been in the trade Aldridge camp from the beginning. Best way to get better, IMO....maybe not this year, but for a prolonged time. Could backfire, but if it does then make good draft picks and turn it around that way

 

Only a sign and trade makes sense or sign him outright. This will be a tough decision for Portland brass this summer. There is no way we get anything substantial for hickson because teams would just say "hey I will just go after him when he's an unrestricted free agent."

Here's a question... If you were say asking "would you trade Wesley Matthews for jj reddick"; would you do it? Because reddick is an unrestricted free agent this summer. Or would you just say "nah I would much rather try my luck going after him as a free agent and not lose talent".

 

There could still be a team that needs some size for the playoffs and give up a pick at the deadline

 

That's why I thought the Thunder might be a good trade partner for Jeremy Lamb.

 

Actually Indiana would be a good team to trade with since they already have such a good defense to make up for hicksons terrible d. What do they have that they are willing to gamble on?

 

Whatever we can get.

 

Not sure we could get Lamb for him

 

They might need another big man like JJ to get them over that hump for a championship. Plus more rest for Perkins.

 

I agree. I just don't think they would deal Lamb for him

 

Traded with Matthews for Hibbert and a young SG/draft pick.
Traded with scrubs for a real center.
A first round draft pick and an expiring contract.
A young wing player on a rookie contract who is out of favor/undervalued by his team.
A decent young PG.
The list goes on.

 

I don't know why there are two threads like this.

 

Because it's such an important topic and the trade deadline looms.

 

Because you posted two of them.

 

Not only is one of these bad enough....... but now there are 2! What are you...... Denny's nephew or something!
