It was fun watching Roy against Greg tonight. Roy looked great and I really like the Pacers starting 5. They have a legit shot at getting to the second round this season.

Unfortunately for Greg, his guards are stucky and gordon. smiley: eyes

18/14 in the W.

What is Roy's career high in rebounds? He needs to start beasting on the boards and getting those rb numbers up.

Just have to wait and see how the politics shape up. I want to see him get his rebound numbers up, but he has consistently been the best player on a team tied for fewest losses in the Eastern Conference. {And I luv D Granger}.

Actually AI was voted in but injured the year before. If he could have stuck around one more season or Jeff/Roy made it last season then Gtown would still have the insane longest streak of all-stars. Well the "Big Parks and Rec" is getting it going again Thumbsup

Well, Sun is gonna get paid by some team. If not Indiana, then I am more than fine with him going elsewhere and cashing in. I am still pissed that Roy had to tolerate his first few years of obrien. smiley: mad

Wasn't that a career night for Hibbs last night? 30 and 13, plus 3 blocks?

Wow, yep career high.� Congrats to the Big Parks and Rec.� I was so busy swallowing my own vomit from last nights debacle that I did not notice Roy and Gregory were balling-out.� Those two are really doing it.� I actually like the 13rbs and 3blocks more than the points.� Roy has to be a double figure rebounder and good defender every night to get that REAL payday.

Roy is going to get a good deal from the Pacers. They have cap space in planning for his resigning along with some other young up & comers on the team. Bigs are so rare that my guess is he gets a Horford/Noah type deal.

Top Paid Center Salaries

1. Howard: 18M
2. Bynum: 15M
3. Marc Gasol. 14-15M
3. Kaman: 14M
4. Al Jefferson: 14M
5. Tyson Chandler: 13M
6. Horford: 12M
7. Noah: 10M, but gets a bump to 14M

Bynum/kaman/Gasol are getting 14-15M and Horford/Noah averaging 12M. Right now Roy is the 3rd best center in the NBA behind Howard and Bynum {although Bynum is always hurt}, so what is a Roy Hibbert worth in the open market???$$$$ I do like Marc Gasols production this season over Roys as Gasol is a hard worker, but Roy is the better talent.

NOTE: Roy Hibbert is also a Major TV star. His celebrity gravitas cannot be undervalued. smiley: happy

Now that Roy is an All Star, it is interested to take a look back at his 2008 draft and see that only Rose, Love, and Westbrook have had better careers and been all stars also:


1	Chicago Bulls	Derrick Rose, Guard, Memphis
2	Miami Heat	Michael Beasley, Forward, Kansas State
3	Minnesota Timberwolves	O.J. Mayo, Guard, USC (To Memphis)
4	Seattle Supersonics	Russell Westbrook, Guard, UCLA
5	Memphis Grizzlies	Kevin Love, Forward, UCLA (To Minnesota)
6	New York Knicks	Danilo Gallinari, Forward, Italy
7	Los Angeles Clippers	Eric Gordon, Guard, Indiana
8	Milwaukee Bucks	Joe Alexander, Forward, West Virginia
9	Charlotte Bobcats	D.J. Augustin, Guard, Texas
10	New Jersey Nets	Brook Lopez, Center, Stanford
11	Indiana Pacers	Jerryd Bayless, Guard, Arizona
12	Sacramento Kings	Jason Thompson, Forward, Rider
13	Portland Trail Blazers	Brandon Rush, Forward, Kansas
14	Golden State Warriors	Anthony Randolph, Forward, LSU
15	Phoenix Suns (from Atlanta)	Robin Lopez, Forward, Stanford
16	Philadelphia 76ers	Marreese Speights, Forward, Florida
17	Toronto Raptors	Roy Hibbert, Center, Georgetown

UCLA would have been pretty good if Love and Westbrook had stuck around for another couple years.

In fairness, I think you need to include Eric Gordon on that list. He had a real breakthrough season last year with the Clippers, and was their main chip in the Paul "trade." Not his fault that he's been hurt all season this year (although, of course, he hasn't been an all-star yet).

The first time I saw Roy play all I could say was "well, great kid". As you guys know that is Uncle Balla code if I have nothing positive to say about a kids game, and that translates to "oh, hell no." smiley: happy

Now he has to go out the second half of the season and get double digit rebounds every night and pick up the defense:
