sam_amick Source: Portland GM Neil Olshey & team prez Larry Miller visited restricted free agent center Roy Hibbert tonight in DC, offered max deal


sam_amick Indiana did not offer a max deal, and Hibbert is now leaning to Blazers unless Pacers match. One other unnamed team offered max.

Some of these GM's need to be protected from themselves

Paul, who came to the Clippers in a trade before last season, can sign a five-year, $108-million extension with the team in July 2013.
Blake Griffin will agree to extension with Clippers, Chris Paul waits - latimes.com

So Portland has offered Roy Hibbert a max deal. He should consult his ACL's before deciding to be a Blazer center.

 

[Colejeezy]

Hibbert for the love of ur knees, dont go to the blazers.

He's not going to that curse of a franchise.

 

[Mic-Nificent]

He's not going to that curse of a franchise.

Yeah, soon as that nikka would sign the contract his knees would give out.

 

[Arrogance.]

It's not likely that he'll receive a max offer from a better contender than the one he's currently on but you would be dumb to not offer him something if you need a center and have cap space. Only but do many 7 footers with skills around, even if Hibbert's skills are more borne of hard work than anything else.

a nikkas was complaining yesterday about Celtics giving Garnett 11 mill a year for three years?

Hibbert is being offered the max, Nash is looking at 12 mill a year, Batum seems to be getting 10 mill a year from the Wolves.

For gods sake Omer Asik is getting an 8 mill a year offer by Rockets.
