    they also won with 3 superstars, and role players at center, (Haslem+Turiaf+Bosh played plenty of time there)

    I'm sure most teams feel they can land talent like Lebron, Wade, and Bosh.

    Right, I like Kaman but he will probably get the same as Asik and that would be a horrible contract to give him

    +1

    Hibbert is one of the tallest center in the league, can post up, shoot at mid range and protect the rim. He dominated when the opposit team has no center ( like Miami and Orlando).
    He has just one good season, but he has imporve every year. Indiana would be crazy not to match portland offer... No way i would spend all my money on Grander and let Hibbert walk away...

    I'd love to see teams try to score in the paint while the Law Firm of Hibbert & Davis is clocked in.

    Could we sign him after a few summer league games?

    You dont need a really good C to win and they are way overpaid, Hibbert is the 3rd best player on a good team and hes about to paid like a #1

    Noah received a 5 year/60 million contract not too long ago. Is Hibbert receiving 4 year/58mil that big of a deal?

    Ask yourself this. If you were the Blazers, why would you not do it?

    Look at the possible starting 5:
    Lillard
    Matthews
    Batum(Assuming they retain him)
    Aldridge
    Hibbert

    I've always thought it was a smart investment if a player like Hibbert completes a team. We're not talking about signing him to be their cornerstone. We're talking about signing him to complete it. That's an extremely young team there. I would expect the Hornets to do the same thing once Davis/Gordon/Rivers establish themselves.

    Exactly. You don't sign a player like Hibbert at the start of a rebuild. But, you would definitely want him once all the other pieces are in place and your team is ready to make a legitimate playoff run.

    If Portland gets Hibbert, I think they can be Top 4 in the West honestly, depending on how Lillard plays
    New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks

    Isn't he only 6"10? His wingspan must be ridiculous if he has "length" for the center position.

    League sources believe the Johnson-to-Brooklyn deal has a strong chance of happening in the next 48 hours. If it does, it just goes to show you that you can have any collective bargaining agreement you want -- there's still no substitute for having one of the richest men on the planet own your basketball team.

    I wouldnt assume anything with Batum. If they were only willing to spend 9 a year on Batum before the Hibbert deal, I think the number shrinks after it.

    Jim Eichenhofer: @aussieNOHfan, I haven't heard anything in terms of Daniel Orton. That would make 3 Kentucky Wildcats though. ha
