Are the Kings really this dumb? Lakers should take a flyer on him.

The Sacramento Kings have waived forward J.J. Hickson.

Kings president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie announced the move Monday. Sacramento acquired Hickson last June from Cleveland for forward Omri Casspi and a conditional future first-round draft pick.

Hickson played 35 games for Sacramento. He averaged 4.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in 18.4 minutes per contest. He had been bothered recently by back spasms and played only 6 minutes in the past 10 games.

Hickson was a first-round pick by Cleveland out of North Carolina State in 2008.

J.J. Hickson getting minutes for the Blazers J.J. Hickson scored 12 points off the bench on Thursday against the Hornets, hitting 6-of-10 shots from the field with six rebounds, two steals, and one block in 29 minutes.
It's time to move on Hickson in 12-team formats as he has returned late round value in his four games in Portland, based on averages of 24 minutes, 12.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 0.5 blocks, 63.9 percent field goals, 45.5 percent free throws, and 1.0 turnovers in four games. Kaleb Canales did not play Kurt Thomas tonight and said he's moving to a smaller lineup, which means that Hickson's value is on the upswing, if anything.



He still stinks.
