    I like that deal but only because it expires next summer. If we can't get LMA then I don't want any long-term contracts on people who aren't game changers. Roy maybe was at one time but he isn't at the moment so good gamble that won't hurt you down the line.

    And re-sign Matthews and Aldridge?

    Makes no sense. Leonard and Kanter defensively do not mix well. Unless Leonard became a legit shot blocker.

    They were rumored to be interested in Carlos Boozer, maybe they're talking to him to be the starting pf next year:smiley-195517897341

    Monroe and LA don't mix well defensively either but that was a plan at one point.

    If you are going to rebuild (or retool for people who can't stand the other r word) then do it right. Don't offer max to Kanter and be stuck in the middle (a team that wins 40 games so no playoffs but also no high pick). Hibbert would work though as he expires next summer.

    And I didn't want that. One or the other, not both.

    I think you were joking but I would overpay him. But only one a 1 year deal (2 year team option). Seriously, if we aren't getting LMA then we shouldn't be trying to have players who will eat cap two years from now.

    Why would we want Hibbert if we're rebuilding? I'd rather go after Larry Sanders as a reclamation project.

    Cus Hibbert is a 1 year deal. Roll over more cap space to next year. But in the off-chance he busts out we could then trade him for something really good or keep him on a longer deal.

    He's expiring. If he plays well with Leonard we could make the playoffs, if he doesn't... Good piece to move at the deadline. Win-Win.

    Offer Larry Sanders a decent chunk of change on a one year deal then.

    When teams need enough to max 2 players or fringe playoff, an expiring Hibbert is very useful. Or, maybe he actually pans out to be good and you got his bird rights to re-sign him? Or maybe he's good enough and you can lock him up for multiple years for cheap?

    There are a lot of reasons why

    I guess Hibbert would be okay next to Nards since he'll be jacking up threes all game long, Hibbert can camp out in the key to get the rebound.

    Nards will be jacking up 3s at a 40% clip and will LITERALLY rebound the other 60%! #Legend #BestInTheWorld
