Replace Hibbert with Bonner?
Put down the hydro and step away.

The only reason I bring this up is if Hibbert leaves the Pacers, maybe they'd like to do another deal with us and take Bonner off our hands? I'd take anything for him. Wishful thinking but still, it would be interesting to see how this plays out.

haha, not as a starter of course but as an extra big they could use off the bench.
Assuming they don't match, I'd offer Splitter, Blair and a first round pick for George....and they'd hang up right away.
Hopefully the Blazers get him, it would help our chances with Batum
A s&t of Splitter, Bonner, Green, Neal and possibly Byars/CoJo?
Duncan/Blair(or free agent big)
Diaw/Lorbek
Kawhi/Jax
Batum/Ginobili
Parker/Mills-De Colo

But only if we get Paul George or Danny Granger in the exchange.
He can lean any which way he wants, the Pacers are gonna match the offer.
Byars is still on this team?![]()
Minimum contract. 100% unguaranteed. Can be used as trade filler or waived at any time.

someone we signed in april from the DL
beat me to it![]()
No way I want to pay Batum market value when the Spurs have Kawhi for 3 more years at way below market value. Batum's a nice player, but Kawhi has shown a lot and the Spurs have no need for a three with him and StackJack giving them the best SF rotation the franchise has ever had.
doesn't make any sense
why the fact Hibbert is leaning towards Blazers is relevant for them to take Bonner?![]()
I see your point but wouldn't it be nice to have two great perimeter defenders on the team? Against a team like OKC with Durant and Harden, we could put Batum and Kawhi on them and sub Jax in without missing a beat, Durant will still get his but it'll be hard. This way, we could force Westbrook into chucking mode and try and let him beat us.
batman got a offered over 8 million a year
NO THANK YOU
Heck Asik got offered 8 million a year, you don't think Batum is worth that?
I have my doubts if they'll match. If Indy can get Kaman they'll let him walk imo. Having signed George Hill for many years, matching Hibbert now to a max deal may make it harder for them to re-up key players like Paul George down the line.
sigh...here we go again and it must be clarified, BATUM CAN PLAY THE 2. He's played several games at SG for the Blazers and for France. Why do people think it's such a problem for Kawhi and Batum to play together? If you want to talk about how Batum is too expensive for us, fine. Let's go with that but people gotta stop with the "we already got a 3" argument.
Hibbert is a far superior player to Kaman. The players that should be concerned about Paul George Hill extensions are Collison and Granger.
When are people going to realize that the Spurs are not going to get anything of value for Bonner?
If they don't downright amnesty him, they will probably have to add a sweetener or take a worse deal (read: huge contract, useless player) to get Bonner off the roster.
Or we'll be stuck with another year of praying that Pop leaves him glued to the bench, a horror movie we've already played through a few times.
Once again, the Blazers follow their usual suite of "money-whipping" & overpaying players
Hopefully Indy doesn't match. We will have an imposing frontline next year if we get Hibbert.
I'll be fine just trading Bonner for nothing. Please.
I'm not asking for anyone of value...I'll take ANYTHING from the Pacers for that piece of . I just want the er off the team.
