If the Bulls are going to make a play for Amare Stoudemire, they'll likely have to include Kirk Hinrich in any package.
Steve Nash appears unhappy in Phoenix, and the Suns might need to replace him should he leave after next season. Because of that, the Suns would value a player like Hinrich.
"It's one of those things that's out of my control," Hinrich said. "I just try to go out here every day and do my job and do it the best I can. You never know what to believe and what not to believe. There's always so much talk, especially this time of year. You just try not to focus on it."
Regardless, Hinrich knows what adding a player like Stoudemire would mean for the Bulls.
"He's a special player," Hinrich said. "He's been an All-Star in this league. He's one of the best power players in this league. Anytime you have an All-Star, a great player like that, it relieves pressure.
"But I tried a long time ago not to get excited about things like that because you never know how much truth there is to it. It's just one of those things where if it happens, it happens. It's part of the job. As of right now, we're just treating it as this is going to be the group that we've got and try to enjoy playing together."
