Hibbert has a $15.5 million player option for next year that he will probably opt into. Larry Bird says he doesn’t care what he does and Coach Vogel says even if he does come back, he likely will be coming off the bench.
Does new scheme mean Roy Hibbert will be benched, Vogel said: "Possibly." "Roy's role will be diminished." There it is again.

It sounds like they are trying to get Hibbert to opt-out so they can clear the $15+ million. Curious to see what Hibbert does. He can call their bluff on his diminished role or see if the grass is greener with another team.
