It would be more for salary cap reasons (Hibbert comes off the books next year), but he would have to play because they will have no big men if Jordan signs elsewhere and Tyson Chandler already gone.
Good luck with that.
Source says Mavs would consider a salary-dump deal for Roy Hibbert if DeAndre Jordan doesn't choose Dallas. But still hopeful about DJ.
