So what are Neil and Paul up to 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.

 

[santeesioux]

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

 

[BigGameDamian]

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

Link?

 

[santeesioux]

Link?

It was somewhere on Blazersedge.

 

[Scalma]

Carlos Boozer? Can someone kick me in the fucking face instead?

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

Oooh--maybe Nards can fool people into thinking that he's shooting a 3, but it's actually a really high entry pass into Hibbert in the post...

 

[santeesioux]

I would like to see Jeremy Lin brought in to back up Dame too, if nothing else other than getting all of the fine Asian honeys into the Rose Garden.

 

[magnifier661]

Seriously though... Nothing rumored about Blazers, nothing about Aldridge, it's too DAM quiet! Either Olshey is dead in some hotel room or something crazy is gonna drop

 

[Mediocre Man]

1. Seeing if LA will come back.
2. Seeing who might be available in a lopsided trade

This is what's really tripping me out though. Aldridge has already met with all the teams. Maybe he's talking with Olshey now?

Yeah saying his goodbyes.

 

[magnifier661]

I don't buy that. I suspect Aldridge would publicly announce which team he's going to. He may have respect for Olshey, but if he is truly leaving, it means he wouldn't give a shit to say goodbye

 

[RoyToy]

Aldridge isn't coming back
