The league fined him, and his teammates didn't stand up for him at all. His problems have been all about bad chemistry.

There's a real possibility that he could land in the right place and start kicking asses and taking names. He could also be absolutely worthless and fade away. Pretty big risk, but possibly a big payoff.

like that seems to fade into the background quickly in San Antonio. Maybe that's the place for him. At his best he's close to a max player.

Definitely could be Messina on his left

When he's right, he's a pure badass. Sonofa can absolutely dominate the middle, and he's a true C - not some tweener trying to play big. If he could get his groove back, he would be an incredible addition.

With Dallas out of the race... Spurs are legitimate the only smart move

Option A: Spurs
Option B: Gerald Henderson, Aminu, Plumlee
Option C: Tyson Chandler

It was kinda a joke given that he will never come over

Yeah, I'm pretty low on Hibbert. If the Spurs got him, at best he's a 18-20 MPG player who is used mostly in situational matchups.

Hibbert is still one of the best rim protectors in the league (if not the best) but he's so damn immobile and the NBA has sped up so much that there would be some teams he literally couldn't play against.

He's your prototypical solid center. Not great in any area but does everything well enough. Something like a modern day Will Perdue with more range and more athleticism.

Duncan/Diaw/Koufas/West would be pretty damn solid, barring any of them fall off a cliff physically.

Great. He's a Jonah worse than Eva Longoria.

**TheGoldStandard** · 07-03-2015

Is Nastic any good?

I'm assuming he'll get $40M/4 pretty easily. So it's a little better than normal role-player money, but he could start for the Spurs for 8-10 years. So I'd think it worth it.

West and Hibbert worked well together. West is a good passer - picks up a lot of AST's. I don't think any of the bad blood in Indy was between those two. If this team could make Hibbert feel like part of a team, and the old Roy Hibbert showed up, it would make a LOT of teams in the Western Conference miserable. Throw in Wests' toughness, and it would still be a good off-season.
