    Hibbert avg'd an amazing 12 and 9 last year. You guys are all high from watching him beat up Miami's frontline when they sent out nobody taller than 6' 8. Dude straight disappears at times, and he floats under the basket when he should be out challenging shots. I'm not saying I like Asik or anything, I'm just saying Hibbert isn't worth the max.

    allstar selection doesnt make him a max player lol. Look at the centers in the east with NO dwight the next decent center was hibbert. Fans determine selections also btw and coaches had to choose him because all good centers are in the west

    So basically you can't rationalize why Hibbert is a max player? LOL

    Check the stats son. He was an all star by default. I suppose you would've signed Brad Miller and Jamaal Magloire to max deals as well? Lololol:grin:

    Whats their to rationalize

    Did you watch the playoffs this past season, a lot of the Pacers success was because of Hibbert.

    Blocks shots- check

    solid rebounder- check

    smart player- check

    good shooter- check

    good post up player- check

    young age( 25 years old)- check

    great work ethic- check




    Am i missing something as to why Roy Hibbert is NOT a max player

    How old is Roy Hibbert, he took a step forward in the playoffs this year. blocking shots, and rebounding

    ARE YOU saying you would rather have Asik.... hahaha

    Wouldn't it be fun if Portland gets Hibbert and Pacers get Asik?? Haha nice going Morey, keep telling yourself that your so called new strategy with stats, treating people like numbers and moving players like chess pieces is going to pay off one day. Is anybody still convinced Morey is a wizard / genius or whatever? The guy has personally caused agents and players around the league to avoid Houston and even hate us. Nice going Morey, you freaking asset!

    YEP!!!

    Oh and not only that, but Gogi's agent is now keeping Morey hostage, because he knows that the Rockets have to sign him, because Lowry wants a trade( who is even a better player than Gogi, on a cheaper contract)

    Nene wasn't a max player last year and didn't get a max deal.

    Hibbert is not a max player yet, but could be in 2 or 3 yrs, he's still young ... and he 'll get the max because there's not many good FA centers ... but we wont end up with him anyway ... it think we should try to get Robin Lopez and Spencer Hawes, it'd be a good combination imo

    DM has pulled some nice moves with 2nd rd picks and turning nothing into something... but i'm gravitating toward this line of thought... A million good small moves serve no purpose if they preclude you from making the major move u need.... imo

    So what is going on now? Did he offer him the deal? Did Asik reject his deal?
