also he only had half a shitty season, and that was with the knicks, he has been relatively consistent in his production aside from that. | ||

The fact that Anthony Randolph can't crack 15 minutes on a team is, basically, analogous to JJ Hickson being waived. NBA history is littered with the corpses of long, athletic, 3-4 tweeners who can't stick because they don't have skillz and 4-5 tweeners cause they're either too slow or too small or don't have movez. Just quickly thinking about it, I think the 2007 draft had like 5 guys like that: Julian and Brandon Wright, Sean Williams, Al Thronton (he was just stupid,) Thaddeus Young and Jeff Green. Not that they're all doomed already. Just that they're whatever players. EDIT: Thaddeus Young's having a nice two year run though. And Yi Jianlin! YIsanity? | ||

I think the spurs could take a risk on both, they lack front court depth, and with ford retiring another legit pg could give them a few minutes. they have enough people that they could drop a few for the space as well. of course hickson was fucking terrible this season, so he may not be worth the risk. A contender grab hickson? Nah the Warriors got this on LOCK! http://www.hoopsworld.com/warriors-expected-to-sign-j-j-hickson PS: I hate the majority of Warrior Fans. Fucking idiots booing the owner during Mully's retirement ceremony tonight | ||
