    If we traded Hickson to Indy for Hibbert, they'd get a big and valuable trade exemption, if I have that right.

    Obviously, no kid ever whapped you with a whiffle bat. It hurts. In fact, you still need a good whiffle whapping, right now.

    How is this hating on Aldridge? So you equate talking about possible trades as hating on him?

    Wanting to trade Aldridge has nothing to do with the all season bullshit complaining; while they overlook piss poor shooting from another player making almost as much as him.

    I've been open for trades, as long as we get a better player in return. Complaining about him in the middle of an impressive win over the spurs is exhibit A

    I must be almost middle-aged. Whiffle bats have changed!

    Is that a toilet brush?

    Hickson's stats were just as good as Aldridge's (allowing for a couple fewer minutes he played). Hickson's 19-point half embarrassed Aldridge into doing something. Then Lillard followed Hickson's lead and cleaned up in garbage time.

    How does Hickson beating the best team on the league on their floor translate into, stop picking on Aldridge?

    Take away any one player's points and the Blazers still win that SA game... except Lillard's.

    Your hyperbole is ridiculous at times. Ask management if they must pick between Aldridge and hickson with a quality center and tell me what they say? I love me some hickson too. I just don't go out of my way to talk shit about a player while we are winning a game. It's childish and insecure.

    Oh they weren't complaining cause they didn't have shit to say last night; but don't fear... It will happen the moment Aldridge has a subpar game; but completely ignore when any other player is playing like shit. Only way anyone doesn't say shit is when lma has monster games. And then we have the comment or excuse that "well he plays well against Texas teams". If that was the case; then he wouldn't be averaging 20+ points and 8.5+ boards for the season. Did I mention he leads the team in blocks?

    Whatever man, we can cheer for a 42% sf that has more poor shooting performances this season than Aldridge had all career.

    Hibbert isn't going anywhere. They didn't match to just turn around and trade him guys. It is all about the D he provides and now he is chipping in with some unexpected O.

    Hibbert is one of their major reasons for success. There is no chance to get him unless they have some major meltdown or hibbert demands a trade (never happen)

    He has been great for them but there have been reported rumblings from management and the owner that they should have let Hibbert walk. Those rumblings were months ago and have seemed to go away.
    The only way I see them giving up Hibbert is if they are in need of shedding salary and either have or get a promising young center in return.

    They are until they have to give Paul George the max deal he will get. If they bring back both David West and extend Granger they will be screwed though.

    I know we have Maynor, but I wonder what the interest level is for DJ Augustin.
