    Okay, so I know Hinrich supposedlly has all this potential, and he's shown flashes, but is he really that good to merit all the hype? I haven't really been following him except that he does put up nice stats here and there sans the horrific FG%'s....

    What do you think, gonna blow it up this year or has he already blown up and will plateau at around my projected 16/8/3...1.5stl,1.0 three...38%FG...3TOs?

    If he does become the big thing in Chicago this year then is it worth pulling the trigger on Hinrich/Al Harrington for Bosh/Hughes...

    ...would HATE to lose Bosh, but Hughes' stock is high now and if Hinrich goes crazy and Harrington does decent (i'm not buying projected 18/8 people are saying though), then could turn out to be a nice sell high, buy low trade i'm thinking.

    Good luck to all tonight, hope your teams all kick arse [​IMG] [​IMG]

    I think Hinrich is the real deal. He's capable of probably around 20 ppg and 8 apg, pending how much he shoots or passes. To top it off, he's a guy that will likely get you somewhere between 150 and 175 threes this year, maybe more, who knows. The only thing you have to worry about him is consistency. He's only in his second year, and quite frankly, young players sometimes have problems with consistency. That's the only thing I'd worry about him. He's got all the offensive talent and he's got great court vision to pick up assists. I think he's the real deal.

    I've watched Hinrich and it's not my oppinion but, he is the real deal. It's a fact. Kirk Hinrich was good enough to beat Jamal Crawford for the Bull's MVP of last season. JC was having a breakout year which included a 50 point game. Also he was the only rookie to get a triple double last season. He's a great shooter that shot 39% from 3point range. That's pretty good especially for a rookie. Finally, his passing his pretty good. I think he averaged the most assists for a rookie at almost 7apg. This is only the begining of a great NBA career (if all goes well). Trust me Hinrich is not getting enough hype compared to other players I've seen. I've seen much worse especially with LeBron James but, that's another story.

    Alright thanks for the input and 411 on Hinrich guys, also looks like I should catch some more Bulls games, sounds like an exciting guy to watch.

    So bottomline now though,in your opinion...

    ...is Hinrich worth giving up Bosh?! Or if I'm gonna trade Bosh, can I get someone better?

    Any predictions about each's respective 04/05 seasons? Much thanks for the opinions guys.
