According to an article on Christian Post, Jeremy Lin could be headed to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Bulls backup point guard Kirk Hinrich. The Charlotte Hornets recently extended Jeremy Lamb's contract for another three years, so they could be looking to deal Lin. Would trading Jeremy Lin for Kirk Hinrich increase the Hornets chances of making the playoffs? Let's analyze the potential trade.
The Hornets have a decent starting five with Kemba Walker, Marvin Williams, Al Jefferson, Nicolas Batum, and PJ Hairstyle. They also have a decent bench that boasts Tyler Zeller, Michael Kidd Gilchrist, and Jeremy Lin. They are a team that can definitely make the playoffs and acquiring Hinrich would give them an extra boost. Hinrich is a much more solid point guard than Lin. He is a better shooter and passer, and has made many clutch plays for the Chicago Bulls. As a three point threat, he would be a key player for the Hornets as they will have another shooter to spread the floor for Al Jefferson in the post.
Hinrich would be a great asset to the Charlotte Hornets and Lin would be a good pick up for the Bulls as well. This would be an even trade that could benefit both teams. Now these are just rumors and there may be no validity for it, but the Hornets need another piece to make the playoffs and the Bulls could use some new personnel to shake things up. What do you think? Would this be a good trade? Comment your thoughts below and thanks for reading!!
