Bulls Rumor Mill Spins Again
Gordon, Hinrich, Gordon, Hinrich, Gordon, Hinrich…the debate over the Bulls backcourt has focused on that since Derrick Rose was drafted. Who to keep and to trade/not sign? Well according to some extremely unreliable internet sources, Bulls management is not framing the issue the way us fans are. According to Bulls confidential:
Sources close to me have told me that Kirk Hinrich will be traded sometime before next season starts. His status seems to be independent on whether the Bulls are able to bring back Gordon.
We have all been so focused on Gordon vs. Hinrich, but if you think about it Hinrich’s contract needs to go regardless of whether Gordon stays. The Bulls have given hints that seem to add credence to this rumor, bringing in college point guards to work out leading up to the draft to replace him as the back up point guard. And then there is this little rumor:
Don’t really know why the Bulls, who now have a nice three-guard combo, would go for this, but the Mix hears that the Wolves could offer the No. 6 pick in a very weak draft for Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich. Think of it: A combo guard who can even defend (including forwards as big and strong and talented as Paul Pierce). One down side: He has already been in the league for five years. Trent Tucker’s idea might be even better: Offer Mike Miller for Hinrich.
We don’t want Mike Miller, but that 6 pick would be great. I’m not sure how the salaries work, I assume we would take on some expiring deals if they were offered. Either way stay tuned, as the draft approaches I’m sure there will be more developments.
