Central Notes: Allen, Hibbert, Wiggins

Earlier today, the Cavs signed New Mexico big man Alex Kirk.  The 6’11” center averaged 13.3 points and 8.7 rebounds in 32.0 minutes per game in his junior year this past season and drew interest as a second round choice but went undrafted in June.  More out of the Central Division..

  • Ray Allen said earlier today that we won’t need to wait for word from a secret inside source – he’ll just come out with a decision on his future when he figures it out, tweets Sam Amico of FOX Sports Ohio.  Allen has been heavily connected to the Cavs and there has been some conflicting information about his basketball future in recent weeks.
  • With speculation that the Pacers could explore a Roy Hibbert trade, Christopher Dempsey of the Denver Post makes the case for the Nuggets going after him and offering JaVale McGee.  Acquiring Hibbert would enhance Denver’s defensive profile while giving themselves a legitimate on-the-block scorer.  Meanwhile, McGee would give Indiana an active big man that blocks shots and runs the court like a gazelle.
  • Andrew Wiggins is in limbo as he waits to be sent from the Cavs to the Wolves, but he’s not losing sleep over it, writes Ian Harrison of The Associated Press. “Whatever happens is out of my control,” he said. “I’m not worrying about it right now.”
