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.

He is 7'3, very young and skilled center in a league where elite big man are close to extinct. I believe a team like the Rockets may offer him a max contract. Is he worth it and should the Pacers match the offer?

Is who a WHAT?

Given the market for defensive bigs, you never know. But at that point basically the market is being set at 13 and 9 for franchise guy money. Team A spends max money on Dwight, Team B spends max money on LeBron, Team C spends max money on Roy Hibbert? Which team do you think is getting screwed out of that list?

He still has a lot of potential to get better

he's worth 12-14 mill a year but wouldn't surprise me if he got the max

When folks talk about him being a top 5 or top 3 center, that's all that needs to be said...

That's the thing, he's going to be 26 start of next season, and his production has largley leveled off in all ways except one critical one (the rebounding has been climbing). Last three years he's averaged 11.7, 12.7 and 12.8ppg. Getting a bit late for him to suddenly take a big leap forward into max money type production.

I'm a bias Orlando Magic fan and I watch Dwight play all the time and so I compare every center to Dwight and my thinking is always this when it comes to basketball players...they are ALL overpaid.

You would have lost that bet, sir.

But, for right now, a healthy Pacers team>A completely injured Bulls team...Congrats.
