Here's how Kirk stacks up against other PG in the league.
7 games of the playoffs, Kirk Hinrich 37.8% FG, 10.57 PPG, 5.85 APG, 9-28 from 3 (32%), 6 stls (.85 stls) (The only thing he's done well is shoot free throws. But he can't even draw fouls effectively. He's gone to the line 11 times in 7 games. That's just stupid. Quit being a girl and get some contact down low.) Baron Davis 26.3 PPG, 54% FG, 43.5% 3pt, 6.0 APG, 2.0 SPG (51 free throw attempts) Deron Williams 18.0 PPG, 44.9% FG, 25.8% 3pt, 9.0 APG, 1.22 SPG, (37 free throw attempts) Steve Nash 18.7 PPG, 46.1% FG, 45% 3pt, 13.4 APG, (29 free thows) It's just rediculous that the most important player on our team gets outplayed this bad by the premiere PG's in the league. I don't mind the scoring but the other stuff he is/isn't doing is hurting our team. Either Kirk needs to go or we need to find a PG and move him to SG. I prefer that he just go in some package with Nocioni and then we draft Mike Conley. However, maybe we just need to trade Kirk & Gordon b/c Mike Conley/Gordon would be a even smaller backcourt. We need a true playmaker or a PG that makes plays for others. Right now we have neither and that's why we can't get over the hump. So I say make some bold moves now or we are going to be in this situation for several years. Unless we get the number 1 or 2 pick and we get a playmaker, we are going to have to rely on hitting jumpers to win. And without a PG to create open jumpers at will it will be hard to win titles. I pray for the number 1 or 2 pick but if not Kirk has to go. No only will he be very overpaid next year, but he hasn't really shown any improvement in his game other than hitting the 3 at a better clip. His assits haven't gotten better, I would argue that his defense hasn't really improved. Nothing about his game other than his shooting % showed improvement. At least with Gordon and Deng you could see the improvement. He's turning 26. I really don't see him becoming a premiere PG. So trade him will his value and contract are relatively high and start this thing over before you waste 3 more years off Wallace and Deng. |

I think we should definitely trade Kirk following today's abysmal performance.

I think we should definitely trade Kirk following today's abysmal performance. I admit he played good today (although he did nothing in the 4th to help the cause). However, consistency is what separates the boys from the men the stars from the average Joe. Kirk has the skill in him to be good at times but why can't he do it every game? He made great decisions in the first 3 quarters but I'm not going to say he played excellent all game long. Either way, I hope he plays this well the rest of the series and the rest of his career (if he's on the Bulls). When Kirk plays like this for 4 or 5 straight games you let me know. I'll be waiting a couple of years for the call! |
