It could very well just be a minor cost cutting move, but I choose to see the release of a $1 Million Salary of by all accounts a "glue" guy in the locker room as Indy needing to free up a roster spot. This roster spot could signal that Indy is going to let Hibbert go and replace him with more than one player (examples including Kaman, Mayo, Lee etc.); hence the need for an additional roster spot. So in the language of CP3alculus: This is a sign that Roy Hibbert will be a Blazer (which is an obvious sign that we are getting Chris Paul)
