I believe most of those statements have to be bluffs to get Hibbert to go in to Free Agency. They clearly do not have the personnel to go small right now and see his 15.5M as an albatross.
For half of that salary he would be a good look on many teams to experiment with. Wouldn't mind the Lakers taking a crack it em if we don't end up with Okafor or Towns

... Jordan Hill and Swaggy P for Roy this summer
