Lots Of Teams Interested In Chicago's Hinrich
May 25, 2008 - 10:15 am

The New York Daily News -
The Knicks, Nuggets, Clippers, Supersonics, Suns, and Magic are expected to make a run at Chicago point guard Kirk Hinrich, according to The New York Daily News.

Because the Bulls are expected to take Derrick Rose with the first pick in June's NBA Draft, they'll need to move Hinrich in order to make room for the talented rookie-to-be.

Hinrich shouldn't be too difficult to move especially based on his level of play and moderate contract that runs through the 2011-12 season.

To be honest with you, I would take Beasley if I was Chicago. It does put us in a position to make a play for him. I wouldn't trade the pick nor Brand though. Maggette for Hinrich works in terms of current value but with Deng at the 3, their biggest need is pf. We'll see how it plays out but I think he'd be nice to have on the roster even if he's not a pure point.

Chicago are in a hard position. Should they pick the regarded future superstar talent in Rose or should they draft by need by getting Beasley, who would solve the Bulls problems filling in the missing piece at the PF spot. The odds say the Bulls might select Derrick Rose as their #1 pick. Which means that Hinrich will be moving out in order for Chi-town to get some decent pieces back from trading Hinrich.

Captain Kirk is just the PG we need if Elgin can pull it off. :rofl:

Isn't Beasley generally regarded almost as high as Rose? I don't think there's such a big gap between the 2.

I would lean towards Beasley too if I were the Bulls, but I haven't seen the 2 guys enough.

Hinrich would be a nice pickup, although picking him is basically giving up on Livingston (due to playing time). Is Hinrich worth our lottery pick? He seems right on the border there, but I'm not sure what else we could trade to get him. Eventually we'll get the Minny pick...

I wouldn't mind trading for Hinrich but it depends on what we are giving up to Chicago
