very coachable. Only reason not to like is that he may not be aggressive as other big centers…but plays with his mind.

Bring beans off the bench, and keep it moving with a big ass body in the paint.

He is going into restricted free agency because he knows people will want him and will raise the bidding war with Indiana. Therefore Hibbert will make more money by forcing Indiana to match an offer rather than agree to an extension without any other bidders.

For example, say Indiana offers him a $9 million extension. He doesn’t sign it, which forces Indiana to match a $12 million offer sheet by someone else.

This has nothing to do with wanting to play for another team. It is simply a way to make more money.

If other teams may not go crazy about you in free agency then of course you sign an extension and lock up your financial future. But if you know teams are going to go after you, like HIbbert, then you go into restricted free agency to make more money.

I’d sign him for 8mil per. No more.

I would rather have DeAndre Jordan or Tyson Chandler for the same price. There are many other Centers that I think would be better options, although they might not be available.

I don’t see us getting any impact bigs this off-season.. The best big man we can get is probably McGee if the Wizards think hes too much of a bone head to be matched

Who is only 23 and quietly having a good year.

Unrestricted.

13.9 pp36, 11.8 rp36, .601 ts%.

It’s scary cause he hasn’t done it in the past, however the talents always been there. He hits his mid-rangers pretty well (57% from 16-23 this year,42% for his career).

I think he could work well with Lee because he’d allow Lee to pick and roll and finish at rim

In the summer, maybe we can tradE Biedrins to minnesota for someone like Pekovic, who makes 5 mil less.

That’d allow us to cut our payroll to 41 mil, allowing us to front-load a contract to Hibbert. What if we give him 4 years, 51 mil. 15, 14, 12, 10

I’m not sure about the combo with Lee, but Hibbert is becoming a top scoring center in the league.

Get Hibbert and a legit SF like Wilson Chandler, and then that’s an off-season.

Curry
Ellis
Chandler
Lee
Hibbert
