Hibbert is a defensive player whose contract is up at the end of the season and may be looking for a new home this offseason. My guess is that Mitch Kupchak is trying to move Hibbert to a team seeking a rim protector in order to collect some more draft picks for the future.
It will be interesting to see if anyone in on the market can handle that contract of 15 million or think Hibbert can provide the necessary help to take them to the next level.
Los Angeles is coming off a loss to the Houston Rockets at home last night where Hibbert scored 8 points and grabbed 1 rebound in 26 minutes.
