    So basically his trip to Portland was a giant waste of his time?

    Did you really think Portland was going to end up with Hibbert?

    What if Plan B is to try to trade for Noah? Now they're overpaying for Asik, they might be happy to trade Noah for Leonard, Freeland and picks.

    It got him the contract he wanted in Indy, and the ability for them to add more talent because they won't have to match.

    I feel like the Portland Expos commission.

    I thought it was 50/50 but if the Pacers were going to offer the same contract they could have saved him a trip across the country (DC to PDX)

    Not all of us want to wade through a massive thread to see news that is thread-worthy.

    Thanks for posting this, Draco. I only have 5 minutes at the site right now and I would have missed it otherwise.

    Awesome. As I said, I was just giving him shit.

    But if it had been posted in that thread, that thread would be the top or second to top thread.

    I haven't seen anywhere that says Hibbert will sign Indy's offer sheet instead of Portland's. Which is interesting. If he signs Portland's, it tells me he wants to be in Portland because he's limiting Indy's timeframe to add additional FA's (and I'd imagine he still ends up Indy). If he goes with Indy's offer, he wants to be there.

    I like Noah's heart and hustle, but he just looks like someone who will continually have nagging injuries. Will his body hold up? I know you can say that about anyone, but he just looks fragile to me.

    If the Hibbert/Batum plan falls through, which it likely will, my Plan B is to go young, and add another lottery pick next year. May as well trade Batum for Williams and a pick while we're at it -- I'm ok either way.

    Jason Quick: So Blazers will go trade route to get center who can start, but who doesn't need to hog all of the developmental playing time of M. Leonard

    Jason Quick: Possible C targets (cheap, capable and not long term): Pachulia, Patterson, Maxiell ($5 mil); Mozgov ($3.1 mil) and Pekovic ($4.3 mil)
