Kirk Hinrich?

[Denny Crane]

Just an FYI

Hinrich has played on Team USA the past several seasons, and the lack of time off in the off season has been a reason offered for a couple of bad months of play each season.

He also got married before last season (the one before this season) and put on a few pounds.

The Bulls organization was a clusterfuck last season as well. Guys' names were in the rumor mill, Paxson talked about how the players weren't good enough, they made a play for getting Kobe and before that Pau. During last season, guys like Ben Wallace and Adrian Griffin became locker room cancers and were dealt mid-season for Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden.

This past season may be a better indicator of his abilities. After returning from his thumb injury, his game got better and better, to the point he was a huge contributor in the playoffs against the Celtics.

Kirk to the Lakers. PLEASE NO!

From ESPN Insider:

The possibility of Kirk Hinrich being traded to the Lakers was a topic that was touched on yesterday.

The Daily Herald reports the Bulls have had discussions with the Lakers about Hinrich, most likely for Adam Morrison and Sasha Vujacic, but nothing is imminent.

The biggest hurdle for the Lakers is the two years and $17 million remaining on Hinrich's contract after this season.

Kirk to the Lakers. PLEASE NO!

From ESPN Insider:

dammit.. you have to think that Blake and Outlaw would be of more use to them this year.

well at least Blake.

From ESPN Insider:

Why don't they just trade him for a bag of shit while they are at it?

I have yet to figure out why teams still help the lakers.

Hey, we want to dump salary, the Lakers are on the phone with two shitty players...... why the hell not!

Dear Eight Pound, Six Ounce, Newborn Baby Jesus, in your golden, fleece diapers, with your curled-up, fat, balled-up little fists pawin' at the air,

Please do not let this happen. I have made peace with your decision to let the Lakers get Pau Gasol for nothing. There is no need to re-open that wound and let the Lakers get Kirk Hinrich for nothing. Pretty please with sugar on top, do not let this horrible event occur.

Regards,
ebott

I don't see the difference between a bag of shit and a package of Adam Morrison and Sasha V.

Actually I do. I could use the bag of shit as a practical joke while I would no use for either Morrison or Sasha.

Sounds like Miami to me.

I heard he wanted to go to a "wet weather/small market" team.

I heard he wanted to go to a city that is the armpit of america (OKC)!

they are more useful considering they'd be dumping hinrich for cap space and sasha isn't expiring. they'd probably be all over blake/outlaw for hinrich if we offered. presumably we aren't offering.

Why would we want Hinrich and his salary? Miller is better (at least equal) and cheaper.

This ... and aside from Hinrich's wing defense, it's not even close.

Shooting percentage =.388. Enough said.

 

[Minstrel]

I remember reports that the Bulls were asking for Bayless in a Hinrich deal. Sounds like reality has smacked them in the head.

Hinrich has his charms but, at his salary, he's simply not that valuable.

Hinrich = downgrade
