No, he can move, but he's basically going to be guarding nobody in the paint or guarding somebody out at the 3. How is either of those situations a good thing?
Let's not kid ourselves, that was a lightning quick move by lebron. No way is hibbert going to be able to recover into the paint unless he was leaving his man wide open to begin with.
Personally, I would have kept him in there, but for obscuring the passing lane for battier.
