Ah... you beat me by 30 seconds or so... lock my thread

Sucks for the guy

That sucks, too many injured players this season.

No s**t.

Well there goes all those Hinrich to Portland threads on the trade board.

Chicago guard jam doesn't seem to be much of a problem now. Hughes out, Thabo in. Hinrich out, now Hughes in.

I'd say that's a problem

they can better showcase Gordon or Hughes for a potential trade! They'll be fine.

Showcasing Hughes is like putting lipstick on a pig..............

Definitely laughing out loud now.

Seriously though, all this is doing is making sure Paxon isn't confirmed as a moron by keeping the guard glut at bay. The problem is that Kirk is the best back-up PG and the best defender period out of our guards. God forbid our management get the idea in their head that hughes can take the back-up pg role...

Well, I don't think Chicago was going anywhere anyway and Rose was gonna play with or without Hinrich. More than anything this just puts any potential trades on hold for a few months, but he should be back with plenty of time to get something done before the deadline.

My Chicago Bulls guilty pleasures tracker: 2

First Larry, now Kirk!

Blessing for Rose's development. He has to play 35-40 minutes a game now.

Rose was already playing 36+ MPG before Hinrich got hurt. And are you forgetting about Rose's knee issues? If he plays 40 minutes every game, those are more likely to start flaring up again.

It also leaves the team without it's 2nd best ball handler, it's 2nd best outside shooter and its best perimeter defender.

I know a lot of people think Hinrich is overrated, but the Bulls are still worse off now then they were before this injury occurred.

Especially because now there's about 0% of making any significant trades.

It's not gonna hurt the Bulls at all. They still got Rose/Gordon/Sefolosha/Hughes in their backourt rotation.

And the Rose for ROY talks ignite!

I'm happy no Hinrich no hughes couldn't be happier. BG gets to play and rose receives more minutes. Everything is working out perfectly

i wouldnt say it wouldnt hurt at all, he was still the best defensive player we have.

this hurts the Bulls and there offence but even with a healthy Hinrich i dont think they are gonna make a playoffs
