Your reaction if the Blazers keep Hickson

And give him a sizable contract?

 

"God I hope he's okay riding the pine or playing in another city next year."

 

Depends on the other players we get this summer. When you say "sizable" what contract are you talking about? 7-8 mil, 8-9 or 10 mil?

 

define "sizable"

 

Enough money that makes it to where they couldn't afford another starter, so probably 8-9 and up?

 

Due to the poster's scenario you would mean the soonest at next year's deadline right?

 

Yep.

 

I would shit then. I really want to keep hickson; but I think his true value is around 6-7 million. I'd accept if it was around 7-8; but anything over is stupid.

 

Hickson went a long way towards losing us the game last night. Moreso than any uninjured starter (I give Batum a pass for now), he's impossibly uneven and unreliable. 7 million is too high, because *should* be a bench player.

 

Hope that this year isn't a fluke.

 

Shit. Our interior D is goin' to suck ass for some years to come!

 

buy a hickson jersey?

 

Not going to happen. Oshley's made it clear he won't waste cap space on somebody who doesn't move the needle.

That said, if we can retain him at a price that works for all parties envolved, I'll be ecstatic.

 

Re-sgining Hickson will only happen if the imaginary off season plan (signing three really good players) doesn't materialize. It'd be a bad sign.

 

Can we find a player to out up his kinda numbers anyway?

 

(insert some random college player said poster is obsessed with and convinced will be the next big thing)

 

Yes. Especially as the season goes on and his good play is generally leveled out by recent bad play.

 

ABSOLUTELY PISSED. Will call for Olshey's head every day in this forum

 

He's 3rd in the league in double doubles and 10th in rebounds. I dont understand why all the hate towards JJ.
