I think that he should be suspended from posting for a month or so...Abba Zaba, your my only friend.Comment

Re: What are we going to do with Hibbert?
Then why over pay him to fade?
No one has mentioned Gortat. I'd rather have him AND HIS CONTRACT at 6.8 mil than Hibbert. "If Hibbert continues his poor play the rest of the season", he isn't worth much more than 7-8 mil a year, and that's high for a b/u center or a center you can't count on due to his fading every year.
Gortat 16/10.6
Hibbert 12.8/9
If there was a way to trade Hibbert plus whatever reasonable for Gortat, I'd do it in a heartbeat.Comment

True but Gortat is good no matter what the point guard is. Not saying that he isn't also being elevated but Gortat is no scrub without him.Comment

Re: What are we going to do with Hibbert?
If the Pacers had the option to take back any of their long-term contracts...I'd take back Jared Dudley Despite it being WAY longer ( $4.25 mil PER Year until the 2014-2015 season ) but is paid less overall ( $6.5 to $7.3 mil per year until the 2013-2014 season ).......he's a way better "jack of all trades" than Childress is. On top of that...he's younger and will still be in his prime when his contract is up.Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.Comment

Re: What are we going to do with Hibbert?
I'd look to trade Roy if we can swing a difference maker - Rondo, Gasol, Gortat. Apologies but I just don't think we can expect more out of Roy than borderline starter/glorified backup. We know he'll likely never be able to play significant minutes or be very consistent.
EDIT: Of course, I don't know if any of those guys are realistic for him.I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.

Dudley is a starter, Childress is a mistake. I'd have to believe to get Gortat you'd have to take Childress off their hands.Comment

Re: What are we going to do with Hibbert?
Roy is incredibly frustrating at the moment. It seems to me that he's not far from being a dominant C, but it's hard to say if he will actually get there. Mind boggling.
Anyway, for someone his size and potential...a guy only 25 years old and clearly still growing into his body...he'd have to get at least 12M/yr. But signing that deal is not going to be that easy. We don't know if he'll be any better in 5 years than he is right now...and that wouldn't be nearly good enough.Comment

Re: What are we going to do with Hibbert?
The suns have to realize that Nash is going to bolt in FA, he is just being respectful.
DC+Hibbert+1st for Nash + Gortat + 2nd.
Suns get to rebuild, and Pacers get a stop gap at Point and one of the best centers in the game.You can't get champagne from a garden hose.Comment

Re: What are we going to do with Hibbert?
As I have been touting for about 2 weeks now. Gortat is exactly the type of player the Pacers need. No more bogging the offense down trying to feed the low post.

Re: What are we going to do with Hibbert?
It's not just a funk but his skills don't match up against certain athletic or stronger players who have even lesser skills. His balance always seems to be problematical in that he is easily pushed around.
He is a great shot blocker but for some reason can't jump to pull down rebounds.
Roy is not a max player but perhaps a 9-10 M guy. to gauge his value we need to know what teams are offering for him.
This team will live and die on the backs of DG and PG for the next few yearsComment

Re: What are we going to do with Hibbert?
Ok so I came up with a trade that could help NO and Indiana:
NO gets: Roy Hibbert+ DC+Tyler+picks
Indiana gets: Okafor+ Jack+ EJ.
Pacers starting unit: JJ,PG,DG,West,Okafor
Second unit: DC,EJ,Hill,Lou,Pen. Who says no to this trade?@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!Comment
