The Bulls are expected to pursue Kirk Hinrich.
That's just a really embarrassing awful atrocious move no matter how you look at it. This guy has regressed horribly as a basketball player and really doesn't contribute much of anything on the floor. If you are bringing in a veteran ahead of Teague at least let it be someone who can f'ing contribute. |

I know I'm against the grain here, but I like the move. Kirk is getting no love around here but I think we'll wind up liking him once again on this team. He adds depth at PG but also SG. Not an ideal 2, but he can guard non-huge 2's and will at least knock down an open shot and move the ball around at that position.
The money isn't too much, but I'm curious - do we still have the "regular" MLE? Or does using the taxpayer one mean that we plan to pay taxes? Any chance Gerald Green comes in at vet's minimum? |

I agree...I like this move. If we can get Gerald Green at the minimum, all of the sudden I like what we'll have, though the team will be a bit busy. PG: [Rose]/Hinrich/Teague SG: Hamilton/Korver/Green SF: Deng/Butler/Green PF: Boozer/Gibson/Deng C : Noah/Asik/Gibson I was a huge proponent of retooling, but if that roster can hold down the fort until Rose gets back, they might have a punchers chance. They'll need to jettison Asik next year though. |

However he hasn't been healthy the past year and that was a big reason why we saw decline. However, they would have paid Watson more next year if they had exercised his option then they'll pay Kirk.....sounds great to me. |

If Kirk could stay healthy and get back to where he was in 2009, this is a solid, competitive move for the Bulls that makes the team stronger on defense and offense. It works best, of cours,e if Rose is still there, because Hinrich can be an extra ball handler and can make a mid-range jumper, providing floor spacing without really sacrificing anything on defense. Without Rose...meh, we're a 7 seed either way. |
