A deal for Hickson could be a difficult maneuver to accomplish for Brooklyn's brass, as the 24-year-old would have to sacrifice his Bird Rights. With Hickson's ability to veto any trade to protect those rights, a trade for Josh Smith or Paul Millsap seems far more conceivable for the Nets.
As for trade bait, it would probably come down to whether the Blazers have any interest in MarShon Brooks and/or Kris Humphries. Other than that, the Nets don't have much to offer.
Hickson is currently averaging 12.7 points and 10.3 rebounds a game while shooting a career-high 56.6 percent from the field. He’s started all but one game for Portland, seeing action at both power forward and center.
