WE DID IT! (HIBBERT PRESS CONFERENCE EDITION)

[BullsLakersFan]

Hibbert could be going to Clippers in a 3 way trade between Indiana, Dallas, and LA.

Interesting that these teams are willing to help each other out.

The Mavs are not

Ha! Thank you Mavs.

Cuban may come off my i$h list if this is true!

[BullsLakersFan]

Wouldn't mind Hibbert if we get an asset along with him.

[TyCobb]

I'll take Hibbert and some 2nd rounders. That's enough for me.

[MAMBAEMD]

Me too.
At this point I'll take Hibbert.
It'd be a one year rental. Then we can go from there.
I think Indy would be happy if we take him off of their hands.

[Lakernut4ever]

Desperate measures for desperate times....

[Laker_Kid]

well i wouldnt mind hibbert but i doubt theyll dump him to us. he actually is the kind of legit defensive c that fits our team...imo

[BullsLakersFan]

And don't forget that we'll have his bird rights, so if he has a good season then it's an asset too.

That would be very generous of Indiana and Dallas to do, since there's no reason for them to do so.

There were reports that Bird told him not to opt in, and grumblings throughout the year the Pacers didn't want his contract but nothing official.

Why whould anyone even consider Hibbert? He's hugh, slow, has basically no skills and even worse conditioning, doesn't fit with a smaller, faster team like the Lakers seem to be trying to build. In fact, that's why Indiana's been trying to dump him for the last two years! They are moving toward a more up-tempo style and he just doesn't fit the program. Hell, he barely fints into his shorts.

Getting Hibbert would be nothing short of monumentally stupid. I don't care what comes with him.

....So I'll put you down for "yes" then?

[LApwnd]

Get sanders on the phone....guess hes well enough in the head now that hes playing in drew league with our very own swaggy p. Give him 2 yrs 6mill, 2nd yr our option. If he wants to redeem his value theres no better place for that than with us

Good for them...only way i would help lac out is if they gave up a 1st or take back felton contract

[JohnVancouver]

So - it's Upshaw, then, and TBlack. Suits me.

[MAMBAEMD]

I'm eager to see how Mitch is going to fill out this roster.
It has to be with the intention of being competitive night in and night out.
I hope it's not with the mind set of tanking again.

The West is loaded as usual.
Honestly, even with LMA, we would have had a hard time making the playoffs.
Between LAC, HOU, SAS, GSW, DAL, POR, OKC, MEM, NOLA, PHO etc..., two of these teams are going to miss the playoffs, and the're all stronger than us, even if we got LMA.

That said, as a long time Laker fan, I want to see a competitive team, that gives everything it has every night next year.

Your post is monumentally stupid. The trade for Hibbert is to get assets in return which can also fill a need; minimally as an expiring. You don't make this trade for any other reason than that.
