Is there any league rule or process that would preclude Tim Duncan from signing a lower-dollar contract with the Spurs? Because if Duncan were willing to take a pay cut next year, then San Antonio COULD throw unreasonable money at Hibbert. It would be the only way to get him. After all, we won't be getting a #1 draft pick anytime soon, and there aren't many other strategic options available, unless we tank (while Ginobili and Parker aren't getting any younger). And even if we tank for a couple of years, there is no guarantee of getting a proven big man; there are too many variables between the lottery and the talent that's available at the time.
By the way, Hibbert had *9* blocks tonight (granted, in a loss to an Orlando team that is missing Dwight Howard).
