Wojnarowski: Blazers, Bobcats Discussed J.J. Hickson Trade

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports on Twitter that the Portland Trail Blazers discussed a trade involving forward/center J.J. Hickson with the Charlotte Bobcats.

Charlotte discussed Gerald Henderson for Timofey Mozgov (Denver) and J.J. Hickson (Portland) but talks gained no traction, sources tell Y!

Henderson, 25, is averaging 13.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game for the Bobcats this season. He's in the fourth and final year of his rookie contract.

Hickson has a no-trade clause in his contract and must approve any deal that includes him. The Blazers have reportedly shopped him seeking a pick and have yet to find an "appealing offer."

Hickson discussed the upcoming trade deadline on Tuesday.
