David Lee
Buried on the Warriors bench, Lee would step in to replace David West a power forward. David Lee isn’t very good defensively, but most Pacers fans could tell you…neither was West.
Lee is yet another player entering the last year of his contract, but the Pacers would likely have to find a 3rd team to make a deal work. The Warriors already have Andrew Bogut on their roster, so there’s really no need for Hibbert.
Warriors would likely just want the salary dump, so the Pacers would need to find a team with cap space willing to absorb Hibbert.
