Since the Lakers aren’t sending anything of value to the Pacers for Hibbert, this isn’t a bad trade at all. Just gives them a tall body to put in the middle to help their pathetic defense. Who knows maybe Hibbert will get tired of everyone making fun of him and have a solid year.
At the minimum it would be enjoyable to watch the Lakers fans on Twitter if Hibbert drops a 0 point game on a random Wednesday night.
Yahoo Sources: Pacers finalizing terms on a trade to send center Roy Hibbert to the Lakers. Hibbert's been informed he's headed to Lakers.

Lakers take Hibbert's $15.5M salary into space, likely send combo of 2nd round pick(s) and overseas players rights. @JeffZillgitt first.
