We can get Hinrich for #13 and Jack.

but I’m not entirely sure.

I really like the idea of getting a pg upgrade at low cost and it does makes sense that there would be very few offers for Hinrich (limited cap space around the league, he had a bad year).

However, there is a reason that the Bulls don’t want Hinrich besides being able to draft Rose. He’s got a pretty big contract for an average player, and if last year’s stuggles are what can be expected next year, then he’s a below average player with a big contract.

I don’t see Hinrich as the piece that puts us over the top, but his contract might prevent that move from happening in the future.

And slightly tangential to this scenario….I feel that a trade that leads to a net decrease in roster size is actually perferable (depending on the exact players we’d be losing) to a scenario such as this because of the minute crunch.

What guys at the RealGM Bulls site would do and what John Paxon would do aren’t necessarily the same. As for the trade itself, I guess what KP would need to determine is whether Hinrich’s lack of progress has been due to injury or not, and whether the injury(s) are behind him now.

Or Hinrich in particular. If we were gonna be over the salary cap, etc. already, then I might consider it. But right now we have the pieces for a much better player than Hinrich.

We shouldn’t just get a PG because we can, whoever we get should be able to fit with what we’re doing and I don’t think Kirk is all that much better than Blake; especially if he doesn’t bounce back from last year. Then what? We’ve got two guys with the same skill set and we still don’t have what we need.

I’d be open to the right vet but I’m starting to think that we might just be able to better in the draft than we will in a trade. Plus you know KP loves to play the draft and he’s already been so successful…

especially after the year he had.

But getting rid of JJ is tempting…

That should be the title of this post. It’s a garbage thread,
as it’s speculation/hope from FANS. It means nothing.
I wouldn’t make that trade, as the salaries don’t match
and Hinrich isn’t much better than Blake. Blake is steady
and part of a great chemistry, which is more important than
taking on more salary and potential disruptions. Don’t mess
with the brew; Draft Westbrook and a banger/O rebounder.
Stash Sergio and others in the D league.

No thanks on Captain Kirk. He’s not that much better than Blake. Basically what walkoff said, without the garbage.

I dont really want Hinrich or Calderon. I think we should wait for our cap space. I like Jack because he is agresive and can take it to the basket. I think if he can develope more during the next season he can be very good for the Blazers.
