Hibbert is good, but big guys sure get overpaid in the NBA.
Yeah, but with the current true two way Center era being so diluted you can understand why. I was having a convo with one of my friends earlier and we were just listing them out in their entirety.
In whatever order:
Dwight Howard
Andrew Bynum
Andrew Bogut
Roy Hibbert
Marc Gasol
and to me that's it. Only 5 guys I can think of who play in the paint, grab rebounds, block shots and play with their back to the basket. Let me know if I forgot any but either way they are at a premium, that's why they are paid such big money.

Which is why we should've taken Drummond. If he even averages 15/10 we could've traded him or Val for a legit allstar.
The nets have traded garbage for Joe Johnson. I wonder if the raps can beat out a nets team featuring DWill, JJ, Crash, and Lopez. Any chance they re-sign hump?
I just can't grasp what everyone sees in Drummond that I don't?
It's not what people see in Drummond. He may very well bust, but we didn't take a high ceiling potential player. A team looking to contend should take risks, especially when you're picking 8th and not ready to compete just yet...
They're blowing up a flawed and pricey core. They'll either set themselves up to grab a star or two in free agency or proceed with a rebuild.
Hawks are going hard for Dwight. He is from the Atlanta area.
They will offer a package around Jeff Teague and Al Horford. As soon as Dwight realizes he completely blew his chance in Brooklyn he'll have to decide on a second choice. Atlanta could be as good a choice as any.
"A league source said Jeremy Lin will be offered a contract today — maybe in the [four-year] $30 million range — in a back-loaded nature similar to the one the Rockets offered Bulls big man Omir Asik." (via CBSSports.com)
The source said the Rockets will offer Lin $5 million, $5.2 million and then plan to jack up the third and fourth years to as much as $10 million.
If the Green to Celtics for 4 year, $40 million report is true, then the Landry Fields contract is no longer the worst of the offseason. That one is completely batshit insane.
