Hickson traded to Kings for Casspi and (protected) 1st Rd Pick

Re: Cavaliers on verge of Hickson for Casspi

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

I was thinking the same thing, could be a lot of movement, almost like a trading deadline in the offseason.

Just spoke with Casspi, who says of playing w/ Cavs: "I'm happy. It's a great opportunity for me to play. They don't really have a 3-man."

Casspi was told by Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie that the trade will be finalized "in a couple of hours."

DeMarcus Cousins and JJ Hickson in the front court.

Thank God I'm not a Kings fan.

I always did like the Athleticism of Omri. Wouldn't mind this trade at all.

And suddenly Grant's move to move the 32nd pick for 2 future picks is looking a little better...

Thank God I'm not a Kings fan.

Even the Warriors must be questioning the Kings commitment to defense.

Really bad? No.

Maybe we could have gotten a better deal at the deadline, maybe not. Casspi is a great prospect, and a 1st rounder is an asset either way.

If you're one of those who wanted to keep JJ around, are you willing to give him the paycheck he'll never deserve? Amherst is right...that Kings frontline is going to be a revolving door with those two nutcases.
