That is a low price but Hibbert sucks. Those that are giddy over a couple blocks a game need to learn that is very overrated. He's brutally slow and can't guard anyone more than 6' from the basket. Again he SUCKS.

All I can say is this trade p---es me off more then anything.  We have a ton of draft picks we'll never be able to use all of them.  The Pacers gave up a starting center which the Celtics needed for ONE COUNT THEM ONE 2ND ROUND DRAFT PICK.  We could have done this trade instead of signing an Amir Johnson and been ten times better.  Just needed to vent and say this.

Why would Hibbert have been better than Johnson?

Because we need a center more than a power forward

Ainge could've still picked up Hibbert in addition to getting Amir.

Not sure why he didn't pull it off.

If that's our criteria I'm sure Hasheem Thabeet is looking for a job.

I would bet money that Larry and Danny diascussed Hibbert and wss told, don't bother. He is not built for up tempo basketball.

This must be the summer of former All-Star big men who no longer fit in modern lineups getting traded for peanuts.

This and Zaza showing why we could get nada for Bass. If they go for 2nds and TPEs we weren't getting anything.

Larry Bird is still hampering the Lakers.  Hibbert is fool's gold to dangle out for Kobe's final tour.

That would mean Larry Bird is a bad GM for Indiana.

Or Patrick O'Bryant. Have you seen his Blocks per 36 mins?  On par with Thabeet's. So....
