Portland -- J.J. Hickson is an unrestricted free agent, and Meyers Leonard may still be a few years away from being trusted with the starting center job. Kaman could bridge the gap between Hickson and Leonard if he signs a two-year deal with the Blazers. The Blazers were reportedly one of two finalists for Kaman last summer.

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...

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...
