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