The more I think about , the more it makes sense for both Hibbert and the C's .
For C's
- He is a perfect complement to Sully and/or KO. Sully/KO make up for Hibbert's lack of rebounding and offense. Hibbert makes up for KO/Sully lack of interior defense .
- Rondo would make him better on offense by driving and dishing .
- Core of Rondo and Hibbert may be able to attract another star ( Melo, Love type)
For Hibbert
- Paul George health will be a question mark
- Supporting cast is diminishing with the loss of stephenson and West getting old .
- Gets to play with friend and old college teammate JG
I would rather sign him in free agency so we don't lose any assets , but could make sense to trade for him to gain his bird rights .
What would you be willing to give up for him ?
For Me....
Bos sends: KO , Thorton(exp), Bass (Exp), clips 2015 pick
Ind sends: Hibbert
PG: Rondo / Smart
SG: Bradley / Turner
SF: JG / Wallace
PF: Sully / ?
C: Hibbert / Zellar
if we can sign him straight up
PG: Rondo / Smart
SG: Bradley / Turner
SF: JG / Wallace
PF: Sully / KO
C: Hibbert / Zellar
I think that is a potential 45 win team with a bunch of draft picks and trade chips to upgrade at SG or SF , maybe attracting Melo .
Thoughts?
