When Hinrich signed his last contract with us, he gave us a hometown discount. He would've gotten better offers. He went with the team he grew up loving & dreaming of playing for. Not only that, but he signed a sliding scale contract which is extremely rare in the NBA & almost unheard of for a young player on his 1st big contract. Kirk still lives in Lake Forest. I've seen him out & about on several occasions over the past few summers. Their is definite mutual interest in him returning & I don't think money, over even a starting job will be the final deciding factor.
