Analysis: Portland Trail Blazers Do Well Enough With Maynor, Hickson on Trade Deadline Day

Blazersedge — The Portland Trail Blazers spent their trade deadline day in two pursuits: 1. Moving a trade exception left over from Raymond Felton plus the rights to Giorgio Printezis to Oklahoma City for point guard Eric Maynor. Portland waived point guard Ronnie Price to make room for Maynor on the roster. 2. Not trading J.J. Hickson Eric Maynor Maynor was the classic Portland Trail Blazers value move of the sort they've been pursuing since the Kevin Pritchard days. Best guess is that they've had their eyes on him for a while. Likely he was on their draft board back in 2009, having averaged 2...

Sheridan: Blazers F/C J.J. Hickson Would OK Trade To Nets

Blazersedge — Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops.com reports that Portland Trail Blazers forward/center J.J. Hickson would have approved a trade to the Brooklyn Nets. Hickson made it known that he would only waive his trade veto if he was dealt to the Brooklyn Nets, but a trade between the teams was looking highly unlikely as the final hour before the 3 p.m. deadline arrived. Brooklyn would only be willing to do a Hickson deal if they were sending back Kris Humphries, and other players would have to be included to keep Portland under the luxury tax. But Portland has no interest in Humphries, according...
