Absolutely no to Roy Hibbert.
I'm to the point where I wouldn't move Sanders unless a really really good deal was on the table. He just makes too much sense for this team.
The guys to move on this roster are Ersan, Delfino, Zaza, and Knight. Looking at the market, the first 3 are actually moveable, surprisingly enough. Knight is the "young upside" asset we should be using as a chip. I'd add Mayo to that list but I just don't see anyone wanting him until he gets his fat ass into shape.

And Scola? I mean he's not bad, but we'd be trading for another PF?
NG contract. Nobody wants Scola.

I seriously doubt we'd be interested in Hibbert, Kidd hated Lopez so why would he like Hibbert? Kidd wants to get out and run, Hibbert is a 7'2" 290lb stiff.

Even better. Let's swap Larry and Hibbert just because. Cut Scola who is actually halfway decent, but keep Delfino on the team to suck playing time from Middleton and Giannis.
This kind of crap is why I hate that we kept Hammond and the rest of those guys. At least if there was a new group of people we'd have a couple of years to rationalize the moves before it became apparent they were horrible at their jobs. We've seen this movie play out for 6 years now.

I want no part of Hibbert, but i wouldn't just assume that the Bucks will play at a fast pace because Kidd is the coach.
Generally, for teams to play at a fast pace successfully, the roster has to be set up for that and it also helps to be able to both defend and rebound the defensive glass well.
Kidd as a player in his prime was an ideal PG for getting out in transition. He not only had fabulous instincts, court vision, and passing skills on the break, he was rare in being such a great rebounder at that position. So often he'd be able to grab the defensive board himself and immediately fly up the court without first having to wait for an outlet pass.
Giannis and Parker both look like they could develop into a good duo in transition offense, but a quality PG will need to be added to that equation.

I'm only going off his coaching style from last year. He wanted to deal Lopez for Sanders last year, he moved Pierce to the 4 and played an up tempo style with a small ball lineup. I don't see why his system would change overnight?

A Wolters/Middleton/Giannis/Parker/Sanders would be a dangerous run&gun team.

God no to Hibbert. Fanside doesn't think it's still on the table either, doesn't make sense with Kidd at the helm.
http://fansided.com/2014/07/10/nba-trade-rumors-bucks-pacers-discussed-trade-roy-hibbert/#!bcE0RB
Surely enough, any discussions of swapping Sanders for Hibbert are off the table with Jason Kidd at head coach in Milwaukee. According to several reports, Kidd pushed the Brooklyn Nets front office to trade Brook Lopez for Larry Sanders.

I think it was more spacing and mobile defense than up tempo. Lopez is a good player but you want something more mobile laterally when the perimeter guys are ancient.

We are not trading him for Roy Hibbert. This cannot be true.

Lucky that's not a younger KG, Jennings didn't sell the layup at all. He was on his right side though so he may not have known what that shot looks like.

At least that video gave us Monta's most lasting moment with us.

Monta's "Look out below!" is the best thing he ever did in a Bucks uniform.

Not only is he an all-around better player than Hibbert, but he's a much better fit for this team. The only way I consider this is if it's part of a larger deal that sends Hibbert along for young players and/or picks.

Easily my favorite Monta moment. So bizarre too.

Re: Bucks looking at Lin/Bledsoe (Vasquez signs w/ TOR)
I got this guys:
Hibbert, Knight, Scola in a S&T for.... LEBRON!
Mostly because that twitter thing a few pages back said we aren't getting Lebron, so a definite smokescreen!

Sanders himself is already older than ideal to be part of a core with Giannis and Jabari. Hibbert is 2 years older than Sanders. This is not something we should be doing...
