back-to-back preseason recap-preview
Sort of half-watched the game, and it was pretty abysmal. Wallace was held out, Deng (mildly I hope) hurt his wrist early, and Gordon's still out. So you get lineups like Hinrich-Curry-Khryapa-Thomas-Noah, and thus lots of turnovers. Noah did his best Tyson Chandler impression, which was scary to see. Hopefully it was just a bad outing because I thought he had been doing a good job catching and finishing strong.
Tyrus also looked shaky at points, especially in a stretch guarding Andrea Bargnani where he was consistently baited into fouls or getting caught off balance. Ryan McNeill of HoopsAddict.com was credentialed at the game and kindly passed along to me this postgame quote from Tyrus:
Ryan also gave me this from Skiles:
Eh, it's not as much losing-type basketball as it is just preseason basketball. But hopefully things at least look better tonight against the Pacers. Since it's a back-to-back I don't know how many real lineups will be seeing. Preseason is for Aaron Gray, not for me.

If TT doesn't do the summer work next year, then I'll be disappointed. I'm sure his teammates will too.
but if this game is a benchmark, I'm impressed that tt has gone twenty minutes and he only has 2 fouls. being humble about guarding bargnani is another good step toward tt being a complete player.

The way I see it
You gotta try and win NOW - there is no tomorrow.
You never know what will or won't happen, and these guys make more than they ever have.
And the Bulls could really use him being more mature, if nothing else.
But that's just my opinion and nothing more.
It's not a right or wrong, and I see yours as well. :-)

the reason
If other teams (including the Bulls) thought that Kirk was a more valuable piece than BG, then you would see his name constantly in trade rumors.
Fact is, nobody wants Kirk. Sure a team would take him in a heartbeat, but nobody is trying to trade anything away for him. Teams always inquire about Ben because of the caliber player that he is.
Jerry Buss (and other owners) want someone who is instant offense, someone who has the capability to score 50 in a game...aka Ben. They don't want someone who may be decent and will only get them 15-20 a game with 5 assists.

I'm not a huge Hinrich fan
He does get kudos for general grittiness, but he's also often characterized as a whiner. And even our home broadcast teams point out that he tends to hang his head and get discouraged when things aren't going his way.
Still, I see him as a decent role player, who, as long as he sticks to his role, is fine to have on the court.
