MAKING NOISE..with an ESPRESSO of LOGO WATCH #113 and SQUEEZE the ORANGE.....NAPTOWN'S AREA 55 mulling Max Offer from RIP CITY BLAZERS....is that why LARRY LEGEND left.

Just when you think everything for your Franchise as a President and General Manager is moving in the right direction within a Blink of an Eye it could be over.

The Rip City Blazers are shaking everything down but that 1976-77 World Championship Banner from Memorial Coliseum. NBA.com is reporting that Pacers All-Star Center and Future Roy Hibbert of Hoya Paranoia Fame is signed to an Offer Sheet of 4-Years $58 Million and the Pacers have 72 hours to match or Hibbert walks.

The Qualifying offer for Hibbert for the 2012-13 Season is just below $3.7 Million. The Blazers said enough of drafting a Center and having the World come down on him we have had enough bad luck with Bigs in Rip City. $14.5 Million - $3.65 Million = $10.95 Million that Team Gold Swagger has to come up with or Area 55 will have a new location in Oregon.

The Pacers if they match Rip City Blazers Offer Sheet Team Gold Swagger's Payroll will jump from $35 Million to $50 Million with one guy. Burt Area 55 is Proven and he was an All-Star last season and outside of Dwight and Drew who neither have Thinking Caps...Hoya Paranoia Hibbert is #3 in Centers in the Logo.

The Wild Free Agency Period is just getting started and the Blazers, Rockets, T'Wolves, and Bulls seem to be on the Prowl like Crazed Sports Fans at their Teams Ticker Tape Parade.  

As for Larry Legend exiting the Building you think he went to Upper Management to get some kind of bigger Offer to Area 55 or Larry's doing is a whole other issue? It is real interesting talk I know that and Andrew Luck will have to take a Back Seat for now in that Basketball Crazy State of Indiana.
