Would you still endorse the offer knowing what you know today?

    Hell yes. Hibbert and LA complement each other's games perfectly.

    Possible way to still get Hibbert?

    Hibbert appears to be underperforming to his big contract in Indy. Indy has another center that is stepping up of late (Ian Mahinmi) any event Hibbert is overpaid and they would like to pass off his contract.

    Ptd does a sign and trade with Hickson plus another piece.

    Indy dumps their overpaid center and picks up hustle big guy to their front line, Ptd overpays for a player but has a true center.

    Slow Saturday night . . .

    he is not a max player, Hibbert was being guarded by guys 6 inches shorter than him and still couldnt do much. I can see you wanting him as a player. But not for that contract.

    Which is why Indy might be willing to trade him. If Blazers have to overpay for a center . . . oh well.

    Someone will sign him to a toxic offer even higher than that (maybe even us).

    Hibbert for 12/year is completely worth it.

    Anchor of the best defense in the league.

    Compliments LMA very, very well.

    His numbers may have slightly dropped (Granger has been out all year, after all) but he doesn't have Lillard/Wes/Batum to space for him.

    Size is the ONLY way we'll beat the Heat in a 7 game series. (Long term)

    Hibbert - Post/Inside, LA - Elbow/Outside

    Hibbert - Power, LA - Finesse

    Hibbert - Defense, LA - Offense

    Hibbert also brings a size and toughness this team lacks. He would also be a great tutor to Leonard.

    I guess we'll agree to disagree.
