Just saw the Lakers trade a 2nd rd pick to land Hibbert . So my question is who would you rather have ?

Amir is more athletic , Hibbert a defensive anchor at times and was the 2nd best player on a team thats took the Lebrons and Miami to a 7th game in the ECF .

I think I go with Hibbert, but you can definitely make a case for Amir in the last few years he has caught up to the former all-star.

Who you got ?

Hibbert s heart isn't into basketball

Bird just flat out gave up

That's enough for me

Not on the Celtics please......he doesn't play the CBS style game.....we need DJ  or Nerlins type.

He is lumbering , heartless , slow,   No stamina ,  low low low IQ

Amir has bad ankles, but nobody questions his DESIRE

For Boston's style of play and current roster, I believe Amir is the better fit since he is more athletic and versatile.

The entire league just watched an NBA team sit their defensive-minded center in the Finals because he couldn't contribute, even marginally, on offense.

Just sayin'.

Amir is the better option for the team we are trying to build but i personally believe in Roy hibbert and think he will revive his career in Los Angeles. Obviously David West believes in him if he left the pacers for the way the treated hibbert last season regarding comments and "throwing him under the bus". It just fell apart in Indiana after the PG injury and needed a finger to point

Amir. He addresses three needs: interior defense, general offense, and rebounding. Hibbert costs more and helps less.

Hibbert is a stiff.
I only wish the Lakers had signed Rondo as well.

I totally agree and that fits with Stevens system.  Plus the numbers that Amir actually plays center well.

Obviously Hibbert has been good at times but lets keep in mind this guy crumbled to becoming a completely ineffective player.  That's not attractive.  Amir has been a rock as long as he's healthy.

Hilbert wouldn't be able to run in our system. At the pace we play he won't make it past the first quarter. Amir fits the system quite well, perfect for small ball lineup in small stretches. Also he is a great locker room guy, much more so than Wallace, who is the first guy to throw players under the buss.

Amir. Hibbert's inconsistent and slow.

Amir by far, Hibbert is a walking 2x4!

Amir's contract is much more valuable.
