Vinny D's Thoughts On Hinrich

[ABM]

FWIW

From: Chicago Sun Times

Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro didn't sound Friday as if he was eager to see Hinrich leave. Del Negro believes Hinrich again will be amenable to the bench role he assumed last season.

''Absolutely,'' Del Negro said. ''Not only as [Derrick Rose's] backup, but with the loss of Ben [Gordon], [Hinrich will be] playing more minutes and more involved.

''He made such a huge impact for us with his leadership on and off the court. He's our best perimeter defender for sure, best defender overall, which is a huge factor. He has the versatility to help a young point guard develop. He also plays the two. We had him play the three a little bit last season due to our injuries. He guarded a lot of guys. He's a big positive for us. I expect him to have a great year.''....

Sounds like he would be great alongside Roy (assuming we resign Roy?!)

9.5 million for a backup? KP would never waste that kind of money on a backup ...
