I understand your point but at the same time there is a huge contradiction in what you are saying. It is only logical that what is rare is expensive and what is plentiful is cheaper. That's how markets work.

I think it is generally accepted that Hibbert is a top 5 if not top 3 center in the league, a 7'3 center that's very good on both ends of the court.
So yes, he's worth a max contract based on the simple fact that he is going to dominate about 90% of his match-ups.

In this era, it should be the guards struggling to get max contracts, not quality bigs.

Free agency in the NBA is simple supply and demand. Teams are going to overpay to fill out gaps in their rosters.

His market value is close to Marc Gasol's. He has a higher value in Indiana, though.

Marc Gasol kinda money. They have a similar impact on the game and are about the same level.

4y/58M sounds fair.

He going to get a ton of cash, but not the max amount. Unless a team like the Bobcats over pay for him.

Indy will match anything and he wants to come back. His w-ethic is amazing, he'll continue to improve. Zero chance he isn't a Pacer. We have thee cap & the desire.

The way he's been playing against the Pacers he just might be the second best center in the league behind Howard.Atl east with Hibbert you know he give effort each and every night unlike Bynum.

No, but he should be playing close to 40 min. He's the 2nd best player in this series.

Be more wary of Chalmers and they should have a good chance of winning game 4 also.

Pacers fans have been having this discussion pretty much all season, though. Roy didn't come out of nowhere with this game, he's been doing it pretty much all year. The more confidence he gets the better he plays. As a Pacers fan who lived through the salary cap hell we had to go through to get to this point, I would pay Roy whatever he wants but the wild thing about Big Roy is that he will probably ask for a fair amount so the team can add another piece.

If Deron Williams comes to the Pacers the rest of the league can forget about it for 5-6 years.
