Report: Roy Hibbert 'wouldn't exactly oppose' trade from Pacers
Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
Roy Hibbert isn't actively seeking a trade out of Indiana, but according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com, his camp "wouldn't exactly oppose one" either.
The Pacers reportedly feel that a fresh start would be beneficial for the center, who has spent his entire six-year NBA career with the team. The problem, Stein notes, is that Hibbert is under contract for two more years at $30 million. He also has the ability to opt out after next season and become an unrestricted free agent, which could deter other teams from pursuing him.
In 81 games this season, Hibbert averaged 10.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks while shooting a career-low 43.9 percent from the field.
