Welcome Back, Captain Kirk!

Oh, Kirland my Kirkland.  Bring down the goggles from the rafters!

Hawks inherit Bird Rights, can offer the extra 5th year to Kirkland this Summer. Developing story, more details to come...

At this point I think Mack was better than Heiny but whatever.

My flip phone is better than Kirk at this point.

Can we afford both Kirk and Horford??  What would his starting Max contract  look like?
I think the max  for Kirk would be free entrance into Philips Arena.  That's the most i would give him.

Even his highlight reel is boring...

Hey now, someone used hard earned time to try and find all of these "highlights."

Must've taken a loooong time but I can't think of any better way to be spending it.  There's nothing else more enjoyable.  Nothing.

Wait, so you DO own a cell phone?  Is this confirmation here?

Dude needs to get a Costco sponsorship going.  I don't see why they wouldn't want such a big name repping their brand.

"Hey, I'm Kirk Hinrich....."

Costco employee:  "Oh you're the new guy right?  You'll be over in the dairy section handing out egg roll samples."

At least we didn't give up a 1st round pick this time...

We'll just wait until the Draft to give that up.

I didn't even know Kirk hinrich was a former Hawk, it's gonna be exiciting to see him play again with his former team

Barkley is straight clowning the Hawks for this on NBA Radio.

Who cares what he says  it's just his opinions

I'm a Kirk fan. Hope he's here to teach Dennis.

Big move? Hell naw, and Hinrich is older than dirt. Hawks did just uprgrade the 3rd PG slot though. And brought someone in to mentor Shredder for the rest of the season. Which tells me Budcox may plan on moving IceTeague this summer (draft?) and going with Shredder next year.  This also opens up an extra roster spot to snag one of the bigs being bought out, to take Splitter's wasted space. Barely moves the needle, but how is Cap'n Kirk an upgrade over Mack we ask? More playoff experience, better shooter (41% from deep and 94% at the stripe), can also play the 2, very high BBIQ, can mentor Dennis, good D, is an expiring contract which frees up another roster spot and additional money for summer signings, and is essentially a coach on the floor. Not "thrilled" by the move, it's no big splash. But I like Kirk-Nique-Will-Call-Me-Kurt, and it was a smart move that just gave the Hawks the deepest PG lineup in the NBA with Teague/Dennis/Hinrich and mentor for our potential star point of the future. Think about it a little bit before yall's knees start jerking...

Where does Kirk actually play anymore?  Not that our SG/SF combo needs to get any smaller but was just wondering.  Basketball reference lists him as a SG rather than a PG for this season and last.

Should've traded for a backup center... But welcome back Kirk!

Sending Holiday to the Bulls opens up an extra roster spot they'll probably fill with a big who's been bought out. There's going to be some decent ones.

Good question. I do like the fact that he can play both (and is hitting 41% of his 3s). Plays better D than Kyle, and hitting 3s at a better clip than him (for now), so that's good flexibility. We know he CAN play the 1 and will probably be doing mostly that with the Hawks.

[AHF]

I don't read too much into the 41% since he has hit like 23 3's this entire season but he has always been a solid 37% shooter and seems to have lost nothing so he should be an upgrade for perimeter shooting over Mack and Holiday.
