Good news for Pacers' fans today as a source close to the situation has reported that the Pacers will match Portland's offer presented to the 7'2 center,Roy Hibbert.
Up to this point Pacers' fans have been holding their breath as the only reports on the situation have been that the Pacers were "on the fence" or "50/50" about matching Portland's 4 year 58 million dollar offer, but today we have learned that the Pacers will indeed match the offer, bringing the the all-star center back to the blue and gold.
Prior to the start of free agency it didn't seem to be a question that the Pacers would resign Hibbert. Both the coaching staff and the front office declared Hibbert as is their "top priority" this off season, but once they learned of Portland's max offer there suddenly became a question. Is he worth a max deal?
Once the fans got ahold of the Pacers front office saying that they're "50/50" on resigning the center, a sense of panic began to arise through social media. Questions like "Kaman?", "Asik??","what are the Pacers doing?!" began to ring out as the fans here in Indy clearly wanted Hibbert back in the blue and gold.
With this news the Pacers can again be put in the discussion with East's "elite". The Pacers may add another piece such as OJ Mayo,Courtney Lee,Carlos Delfino,or Lou Williams, making them that much more dangerous. Stay tuned!
