Jermaine O’Neal done for the year

CSNNE's Greg Dickerson just tweeted this not-so-surprising news on Celtics' center Jermaine O'Neal:

"despite trying to rehab his wrist and working out, Jo will have surgery and will miss the remainder of the season"

The Herald's Steve Bulpett has more information.

This comes as no surprise, as Doc has been speculating for the last week that J.O. was all-done for the 2011-12 season.

So what now? Well, Twitter is  buzzing with the news that the Sacramento Kings have bought-out 23 year-old JJ Hickson's contract. Hickson is not a true "big", but at 6-9 240 pounds, the power forward could certainly help-out in the paint.

So what do the readers think? Should the C's try and sign Hickson for the remainder of the season….?
