NBA Rumor: JJ Hickson Trade?

11 rumors in this storyline

The main conversations still concern J.J. Hickson. There is some question as to whether the Nuggets would waive him if they cannot trade him by the 1 p.m. deadline. However, outside of a specific request from Hickson or his agent to be jettisoned, it wouldn’t make a ton of sense for the Nuggets to buy him out.

Several players almost assuredly who’ll get bought out and become free agents if they are not traded this week, leagues sources said, include Boston’s David Lee, Denver’s JJ Hickson and Brooklyn’s Andrea Bargnani.

The Denver Nuggets want to move at least one big man. Kenneth Faried and J.J. Hickson are both available.

On the trade block is Denver power forward J.J. Hickson, who has fallen out of coach Mike Malone’s rotation and expects his expiring contract to be moved. Hickson once was considered an understudy to LeBron James in Cleveland, but the Cavaliers traded him to get Omri Casspi, and Hickson never emerged as a standout player. He’s still only 27 and has the ability to score and rebound, but defense and consistency are his issues.

The Nuggets have been trying to trade Hickson for the better part of the past month, attempting to get him into a better situation to continue what should be many more years left in his NBA career. He has been suffering on the bench for most of this season while the Nuggets, stuffed with too many capable players in the frontcourt, go through a youth movement with their bigs.

That pushed Hickson from spot duty to pretty much no duty unless in an emergency. Hickson hasn’t liked it, and coach Michael Malone said on many occasions that he knows not playing has been tough on the veteran. But Hickson has handled the situation in the classiest manner possible — by not making waves, by continuing to be arguably the funniest player in the Nuggets’ locker room and, most important, by keeping himself ready to play.

J.J. Hickson knows his days in Denver are coming to a close. It’s his hope that wherever his next destination is, ample playing time follows. “I’ll be all right,” he said.

Denver is making no secret of veteran forward JJ Hickson’s availability. Ditto for the Los Angeles Lakers and a number of veterans on their roster: Roy Hibbert, Brandon Bass, Nick Young and Lou Williams.

Randy Foye, JJ Hickson available?

There is a growing belief in NBA circles that the Denver Nuggets could be on the verge of a major sell-off of talent. While names like Danilo Gallinari get fans excited, the truth is that the big names in Denver may not be going anywhere, unless it’s in a blockbuster franchise changing deal. However, guys like J.J. Hickson and Randy Foye are said to be available.
