    Just reported on 1080 the fan. I believe the source was an Indy newspaper.

    Mike Wells reported it on Twitter.

    Though, do they even know what we're offering -- front-loaded or back-loaded?

    Thanks for that update and new thread. It was lost 20 minutes ago when it was posted in the Roy Hibbert thread

    Time for Plan B.

    JaValee McGee? Chris Kaman? Elton Brand? Robin Lopez?

    I’d prefer the team accept LaMarcus provides the most value at center. There are dozens of superior PF’s available but for some reason it sounds like the team is set on not having LaMarcus there. I think we could better maximize our talent on the court if we didn’t pigeonhole LA.

    Prediction: Indy won't match Hibbert's contract. Leaking info so Blazers poison pill themselves. #pritchslap

    Perhaps it'd be better if we had only one thread on this board titled "Blazer news"

    Then I could spend hours trying to weed through thousands of posts to see what happened.

    I really hope Kaman doesn't come up until like Plan Q. do not want.
    See if you can throw a wrench in the Nets-Orlando swap,a nd offer Lopez. Go after McGee next.

    Indy fans are already upset about the possibility of Hibbert walking.

    No way do they leak that they're keeping him, and then let him walk. I could see them doing something to try to get some goods via S&T, but unless that happens, Indy matches. Hands down.

    Someone said a few weeks ago, maybe, that McGee seems like a guy that would coast after he gets paid. I agree with that

    Simmer down, son. Just giving you shit.

    But you were late to the table. The Hibbert thread was back to the top with the updated news.

    You can't back-load a max contract. The most "toxic" they can make it is 17M, 12.05M, 12.57M, 13.09M for 4/54.71 (notice, NOT quite a max b/c of the signing bonus) and 8.5M due when the contract is signed.

    EDIT: Should've said most they can make it based on a 58M cap. When the new # gets released I can update it.

    If they do match, I can't say I'll be all that surprised. Hopefully the Blazers find this out before having to make a decision on Nicolas ... which I guess that will all boil down to when he signs with Minny (if he signs?).

    McGee seems like the most logical choice.

    Though, we could be super trolls and offer B.Lopez the same contract.

    Nah, fuck both of those guys. Lopez would be a bad fit with LA (terrible defensively) and McGee is an epic retard on the court.
