I Love Omri Casspi. Came away from my "courtside" game in early November feeling like he is going to be PRETTY good in this league.

If there is an unprotected 12 pick coming then this is a steal

Sounds like it's a done deal.

Kings SF Omri Casspi was told by Kings management that he is likely to be traded to Cleveland for JJ Hickson in the next couple of hours.

Casspi is better than anything we've fielded in recent memory at SF, good move.

I love Casspi as a young SF to grow with Kyrie, but as everyone else has said, Hickson for Casspi straight up is a big win for the Kings. Marucs Thornton would be great, but he's a FA. No one else on that roster appeals to me, so it's gotta be a pick. Makes sense, too, considering they really need to add veterans to that young squad and just let them grow. They've done their work in the draft.

A little slow with the sarcasm? There's a winking smiley for a reason.

no way its an unprotected 2012 pick. no way, my guess is the cavs wont see this pick for 2-3 years, due it protection. but still a nice move, a needed move.

Re: Cavaliers on verge of Hickson for Casspi

As much as I like Casspi, I really want to see what the pick is going to look like... I REALLY hope it's an unprotected 2012 pick... If it's lotto protected, there better be more than one pick coming back then...

Wonder if this will be the first of many league-wide moves today?

I think the draft looks a lot better than it did (nearly) a week ago. I wanna see the protection on that pick, top 5 or less and it's a HUGE win for us.

Per Alex Kennedy:

The Kings and Cavs have discussed an Omri Casspi for J.J. Hickson swap, source confirms. Both sides expect a deal this afternoon.

I guarantee it isn't unprotected, just how much is it protected is the question.

Still, great news.
