    Beel Ingram said the Rockets have interest in him and speculates about the contract offer.

    Beel seems to think giving him the max would be "over paying." what do you think?

    Some people say 12 pts 9 rebs ain't ****. I disagree. Marc Gasol didn't even avg that when he got paid big time.

    I like Roy, but he is not a max player. I would pay 8-9 mil though. Not 12-14

    Talented big men are pretty hard to come by. But if you have guys like jevale mcgee requesting 14 mill per, this would be a helluva a deal for hibbert. Comes down to how much a team really needs him. If the rockets don't sign him, somebody will throw that kinda money at him

    Marc Gasol is better than Roy Hibbert.

    Bill Ingram and his, "What should I write about in this week's article?" topics.

    He's 25, he's 7'2" and he's a huge improvement over our current options. I'd give the guy $10 mil per year without thinking twice.

    I don't think he is going to be elite, but that contract isn't excessive for a quality 5.

    He said something about the Rockets, earlier in the season, during his pre-draft scouting period. He's not coming here.

    Though on a more fair scale, no.

    Salary cap nightmare.

    8-10 max

    seriously

    I like the guy, but even at 10mil a year he is overpriced

    4 yrs 55 million--so 13.75 million or thereabout a year? Yes? No? Maybe a tad much but now is not the time to pinch pennies/dollars ;)

    I would do it and not think twice. Of course he will not do it and Indy will match what ever we can throw at him.

    Lol of course, dude is pretty young and still developing.

    Imagine him at C, Monti PF, Chandler SF, Lee SG, Dragic PG

    Thats a solid team if Scola comes off the bench

    To put it into perspective, the rockets are going to be paying explain around 10 million per. Hibbert is bigger, younger and has more potential. Logically speaking, he is worth the 13 mill per.

    Typo. Rockets paying scola 10 million per. So comparatively speaking, hibbert deserves the 12-13 million per.

    Doesn't Hibbert dislike Houston? Why would he want to come here?

    I doubt he would bolt indiana and the good situation he is in there for houston. I'm not sure what kind of offers he'll get.

    I do think he is a very good big man that has mismatch potential. How much is that worth?

    Marc got the max. He'll get that or close to it.
