I guess some of you will forever believe Amare was on the table for Hickson. Which is cool, because I don't think there's proof either way, but I

at that ever being on the table.

Anywho, I'm out before someone comes with "well, LeBron chose Jamison over Amare anyway"

Oh and the draft pick is lottery protected until 2014

.  I was being somewhat sarcastic because I too have NO idea why that trade was even brought up.
Hopefully this helps us.

well I know others like dude above think Hickson could have yielded another star

Hickson's value has been inflated quite a bit in his relatively quiet career

[h3]Cavaliers Send Hickson To Kings For Casspi, Future First Round Pick[/h3]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired guard/forward Omri Casspi and Sacramento’s first round pick (protected) in the 2012 NBA Draft from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for forward/center J.J. Hickson, Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant announced today.

Casspi, 23, played in 71 games (27 starts) during the 2010-11 season, averaging 8.6 points on .412 shooting, including .372 from three-point range, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 24.1 minutes per game. In his 27 starts, he increased his averages to 10.7 points on .435 shooting, 5.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 31.3 minutes per game. The 6-foot-9, 225-pounder was born in Yavne, Israel and became the first Israeli player to be drafted in the first round (23rd overall in the 2009 NBA Draft) as well as the first player from Israel to play in the NBA when he made his debut on October 28, 2009 at Oklahoma City. In his two seasons in the NBA, he has career averages of 9.5 points on .431 shooting, 4.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 24.6 minutes per game in 148 games (58 starts).

The first round pick acquired from Sacramento is lottery-protected in 2012 (1-14). The pick is then protected in 2013 (1-13), 2014 (1-12) and 2015-2017 (1-10). If the pick is not conveyed by 2017, then Sacramento will convey its own 2017 second round draft pick to the Cavaliers protected (56-60).

“We want to thank J.J. for his hard work and contributions to the Cavaliers, both on the court and off the court in the community. This is another step in our on-going process to shape and position our team and roster for future growth and a platform for sustained success,

@ChrisMannixSI Names that keep popping up in conversations w/coaches, execs about players likely to "Shawn Kemp" in lockout: Blatche, B-Davis, M. Speights
Aaron Gray would be my darkhorse. Big Baby has to be on the list of candidates too.

Well at least they refer to it as the "Shawn Kemp" and not the Kenny Anderson.


Kenny had his check in one 12 month lump sum. so he missed his salary for the year due to the lockout in 99. His cars (10) alone for insurance was 75,000. He was talking about selling one of them to make the payment since "He did not need it anyway" back in 99.

But I believe they are referring to weight. Demarcus Cousins needs to be an Honorary Mention
