    For people wondering why Hibbert isn't immediately jumping to Portland's Max offer sheet, I can think of 2 possible reasons...

    Nate Jones ‏@JonesOnTheNBA
    1) Portland isn't the team he for sure wants to play for if Indiana doesn't match. 2) He could still get a bigger offer from Indiana.

    Or that he understands he can't "jump" on the offer sheet until the 11th.

    No worries, figured as much.

    On another note, I love how the biggest mention POR gets of its offer to Hibbert is a "Just In" update on ESPN...god forbid they give it a segment like every other FA rumor...

    #Blazers GM Neil Olshey says team "engaged in negotiations with Roy Hibbert" & will "enter into an offer sheet when moratorium period ends."

    Does that mean Hibbert has agreed he will sign our offer sheet?

    The Clips had a very tough choice in matching DeAndre Jordan's contract. Many people still think it was the wrong choice, they could've paired CP3 and Griffin with another superstar like Howard. I wonder if Neil knows the Clippers were much closer to not matching then people realize, and he wants to put the Pacers in a similar corner.

    You can't offer a player on every team,, can you? Once you make an offer, that cap space is tied up in the offer until the player accepts/signs, and with a RFA, until the player's current team decides on whether to match or not.

    This. People keep saying we're giving him "the max" like we'll be paying him 20+ million. 4 years 58 million is not that bad.
