Hawks' Kirk Hinrich: Has been traded to the Hawks
Kirk Hinrich was traded to the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday in exchange for a second-round draft pick and Justin Holiday, Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com reports.This move was a simple salary dump by the Bulls, as getting rid of Hinrich's expiring deal will shave $2.9 million off of their payout and leave them $1.6 million over the luxury tax. Hinrich, who is set to embark on his second stint with the Hawks, averaged 3.8 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.8 steals over 16 minutes through 35 games with the Bulls this season. With Jeff Teague and Dennis Schroder set to take most of the minutes at point guard, it's likely that Hinrich will see only limited action as the third stringer.

Bulls' Kirk Hinrich: Playing limited minutes due to injuries
Kirk Hinrich has averaged 3.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 35 games played so far this season.Hinrich has missed games due to injuries this season and just can't seem to hold up anymore over the long grind of the NBA season. Even if the Chicago Bulls decide to trade away players at the deadline, it's unlikely they would deal away Hinrich considering what he means to the team and the franchise. As this season heads down the stretch, this might be Captain Kirk's final NBA campaign.

Bulls' Kirk Hinrich: Plays 10 minutes Wednesday
Kirk Hinrich had two points (1-1 FG) and two assists in 10 minutes during the Chicago Bulls' 113-90 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday.Hinrich started at point guard in Monday's matchup versus the Hornets since Derrick Rose (soreness) sat out. However, Hinrich returned to a reserve role on Wednesday, and the 35-year-old guard doesn't provide much these days outside of his usual hustle and veteran leadership.

Bulls' Kirk Hinrich: Headed back to bench Wednesday
Kirk Hinrich is expected to return to a bench role Wednesday against the Hawks, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.Derrick Rose, who missed Monday's game against the Hornets with general body soreness, isn't listed on the Chicago Bulls' injury report heading into Wednesday, so the expectation is that he'll reclaim his usual starting role at point guard and see 30-plus minutes of court time. That should result in Hinrich hitting the bench after he put up three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds, and a steal in 26 minutes while starting in the loss to the Hornets.

Bulls' Kirk Hinrich: Plays 11 minutes in return
Kirk Hinrich (quad) played 11 minutes in Sunday's 120-93 loss to the Clippers, finishing with no points (0-2 FG) and one rebound.Hinrich missed the Chicago Bulls' last six games with a left quad contusion. While he was able to work his way back into coach Fred Hoiberg's rotation Sunday, Hinrich still saw less playing time than Aaron Brooks (17), so it looks like he'll rank no better than the fourth option out of the team's backcourt.
