    I'd much rather have Rolo than Hibbert. Rolo is a good rim protector, great offensive rebounder, can hit a mid range shot, can play long starter minutes, and has good confidence with strong mental attitude.

    Hibbert got a ton of defensive credit while Lance and George were really the most important pieces. Rolo is a far superior all around basketball player than Hibbert.

    Hibbert contributed greatly.

    It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the good fortunes of a NBA franchise can suddenly and painfully change.
    Last January Indiana looked like they had a huge window for multiple championships. Young , talented and the best record in the NBA. Months later, one FA doesn't re-sign, another star is injured, and a third is being shopped around. Pacer fans must be in shock. I feel their pain.

    you have to feel for the pacers. They just got over the rebuild that the Mallice in the Palace caused and just as quickly as that incident erased the Pacers championship asperations so too does this paul george injury

    The Portland pain lasted over a decade (2001-2012). Yes, most Blazers fans can feel their pain.

    While I hoped for the best, I saw what rebuilding with a knucklehead led to with Artest to be less optimistic with Lance. They also gave Hill too much money and were expecting him to do more than he is capable of. West also only had a short window of good basketball left when we signed him. My hope is that no matter what record the Pacers have this year, Hibbert matures.
